Just a quick thought: Are avatars creative enough to have their own section on theOtaku?
Here are some pros and cons:
PROS:
-----
- A lot of people need avatars in the same way they need wallpapers
- There aren't many good/clean avatar websites. The only ones I've found are ugly and have way too many ads
- We can easily make an avatars site and plug it into our community
- I could make it easy for members to set their existing site avatar to one of the ones on the new site
CONS:
-----
- Do avatars take any creative ability at all? It seems like someone could make 100 per day really easily, by just cropping out screens
- We couldn't allow animated avatars because sizing them poses a problem
- They might be annoying to moderate and I don't even know what would constitute plagiarism for them
