JackHammerIV is jacked up and good to go.

Anyway, we'll leave all the details of the system for you folks to figure out.

Okay this sounds nice, but where are those custom pets under our avatar , which you promised almost a year ago?

Actually, what I said was "once we find a point for these "pets" we'll consider adding it to the bottom of our list".

How about being able to have custom animated avatars as long as we host them ourselves? I mean, The current default animated avatars are way up the 300 KB, why not increase the 56Kb limit for custom avatars that are NOT stored in SCLegacy servers but on our own..

Like most forums, we don't think it's a good idea to give users the ability to upload large animated gifs. The SC:L gifs are exceptions because:
1) They are just StarCraft units, and more importantly, controlled by us.
2) They are highly compressed and when you have people with the same avatar (like baneling and theblade), users only have to load one gif instead of two if each person decided to host his own.

Hey, this was like the "like" system that Facebook had and everyone copied (youtube, twitter, etc.), yet before FB even had it...So I guess yay to BF and SCL for having thought up of it before.

And glad to see this system back.

EDIT: I think it would be nice to have more SC2 animated avatars. I'd like to see the other portraits:
Scourge, Broodling, Overmind, Dominion Officers, Civilians, Firebat, Spectre, Goliath, Dark Voice, Narud, Mira Han, Matt Horner, Raynor, Raynor (Marine), Brutalisk, All the other Marines, Egg, Cocoon, Merc Portraits, Vulture, Mengsk, Valerian, Hill, Zeratul, Wraith, Scout, Warfield, War Robot, All the critters, Urun, Tychus, Selendis, Tosh, Tassadar, Tal'darim Executor, Swann, Swann (Marauder), Stettman, Stettman (medic), Science Vessel, QoB, Kerrigan, Nova, Scientists, Preservers, Orlan, Mohandar, Mengsk Statue, Medic, Lurker, Leviathan, Kate Lockwell, Vermillion, Infested Terran, Hercules, Predator, Karass, Larva, Nydus Worm, Diamondback, Dominion Marauders, Dominion Medic and Abomination.

I'm not saying put 'em all up at once, but put up a few every time you guys get the chance and if you have the time to make them. It would be really appreciated! :P

While that would be awesome, what about the few staff members that use the unique ones (Zero and myself coming to mind)? Sure, you tell who is on the staff by the color of the name... but you might be surprised by how many people ask if I'm a staff member. :S

Maybe there should be regular avatars that anyone can have, ones that can be earned, and a unique one for a staff member (should they choose to have one). I'd like to keep my avatar unique since there aren't that many female portraits. :P

[Arkalis]

How about melee portraits get to be the standard, campaign (mercs/classic units) are earnable and heroes are unique?

[Blazur]

So is there no way to see who left you reputation? It appears you're only indicating what thread your rep has been earned on along with a timestamp and optional comment.

+rep if you agree we should see who left rep for you :P
(ugh...and so it begins...)

[Perfecttear]

I would like to know if there is a limit to how many rep points can you give out?
I've alredy given out quite a few, so just wondering if you can run out of them?

+rep if you agree we should see who left rep for you :P
