Hmm, so there's a slight problem with how avatars are stored on the server, although it might be necessary to deal with name changes...

http://monbre.com/avatars/BeyroneLeyt_avatar.jpg
Leads to Bey's new picture, despite the fact that it's an old link.

http://monbre.com/avatars/RakkiLesthys_avatar.gif
Leads to the avatar of my old name, which no longer exists.

http://monbre.com/avatars/DemiLune_avatar.gif
Should lead to my current one, I assume.

I get that it wouldn't update to my new picture due to the name change, but at some point, that old picture should disappear... Right?
But when that call never comes, it's time to face what you've become - there's no point doing all of this, unless you know you're having fun.

No lol. Honestly I could make them be deleted, but there's no point. It is literally not worth the 10 minutes of coding. We have so much bandwidth and space on this hard drive that I like to keep them on the server and look through peoples' avatars on the random.

How many avatars are there sitting around on the server right now, just out of curiosity?

Fifty-nine of them.

That's just the custom avatars, though. For some reason, people actually use our stock. A good amount of people, in fact.

Well actually what happens is it uploads either a .gif, .png or .jpg file. So each user can really only have three images to their name.

Unless they change their name, though, which was my point.

Using default stuff isn't terrible, and it's stealthier that way, too.
