The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

On all the other forums I've been on, the max was always 120X120.  Once though, I saw one with a limit of 145X145.  GOF was the site that allowed the largest avatars I've ever seen on a board.

It seems pretty absurd that the avatars are so small to those who have large monitors with large resolutions, but for a lot of people with small monitors/resolutions, the avatars are much larger.  I mean, on my 22 and 24 inch monitors the avatars look tiny, but if I'm on my 15.4" widescreen laptop they're just fine.  It remains a fact that the majority of people have a 1024X768 resolution (though that's rapidly changing to 1280X800 and larger with widescreen displays) so you have to make things universal.

My website has the feature of tracking my visitors Operating Systems, IP Addresses, Screen Resolutions, and other things.  Here's today's report of screen resolutions:
