Choice of avatars is based on number of posts? What an intriguing thought. Something like Amway:
"With 100 posts you can choose from column A, but when you reach 200 posts you can choose from our Premium Avatar selection. And for each person you recruit to the board, you get a percentage of their posts against your next Avatar Level. When you reach the Diamond Level, you can move up to using the Inigo Montoya Avatar..." (Oh, wait...never mind.)
Nothing is more frightening than ignorance in action.
