You could just as easily say oh well, millions of people are starving so you shouldn't be concerned with petty matters like this.

True, but I think the issue is not to take Avatar to task so much as to point out that this type of thread comes up too often and Z has asked people not to do it in the past. (Avatar.. no worries.. you probably haven't seen all the other threads, so nobody is after you personally!
)
Maybe a general statement on the avatar system will be forthcoming with the new board and we can make it 'sticky' near the top of a board for newcomers to see.
The point here is that Ziroc really DOES do a hell of a lot of work to keep this forum up and running smoothly and changing over the avatars took hours of his time and effort (he did lots of touchups on the Egyptian pics). So any new revision will take even MORE of his time and effort and maybe it sounds a little ungrateful on our parts to keep after him for this or that new thing that strikes our fancy or we think we'd like. Of course it doesn't hurt to say hey- we saw this other system that might be nice, but what Z is seeing is constant COMPLAINTS about the avatars and the system he chose to use. So he may wonder why he bothers to put all that time and work into something that gets shot down so often.
Anyway... just my two cents worth
