Yeah, you need to donate, or become a tech, or 'dedicated poster'.

I believe that I read when I registered you'll need to donate
(which was already mentioned)or when you reach 100 posts.
I'm almost there so we'll see.

It is a good thing really... It would use up too much space on the site if everyone was allowed one. Also, you have to earn yourself things in life, they don't just come handed to you.

Why does that suck? Sometimes when you earn things in life you value them more. I suppose the main reason for this is to stop users who make single posts and never return to the site from using up bandwidth. We have over 100k members here, when you do the math, the bandwidth saved on avatars is substantial...and it enables more visitors to frequent this community.

Avatars don't make the person, a person makes the avatr

When I first signed up i'm sure you could have your own avatar even at 1 post. Must have changed.

Ok. Point well taken. I never would have thought this forum had over 100k members. I was just surprised with such a rule. I visit four other forums every day and have the option to use my own Avatar. I just checked at Worldstart and did find that their membership is listed as just over 22000.

Yes but 100,000 is 5 times more than 22,000. Perhaps when Worldstart reach 100,000+ members they will consider a similar strategy.
