I guess avatar are activated for agencies and advertiser mostly because there are... advertiser, people need to identify them quickly and such, wich is something i understand. But i always tough it was a bit generic to have only a name. At least a littl 120 x 120 avatar would be cool. But im glad there is no "over the top" signature like some forums where one member postcan pretty much cover the whole page because he got 2x 400 x 700 signature picture... lol
