You can express yourself just fine with words.
Googled anime/game pictures, Gaia avatars, and band pictures are hardly an expression when randomly smashed on a profile. This is an art site; express yourself through ART.
If you want to express yourself with random pictures, pack it up and move to MySpace.

[quote="cloudsfan09"][color=darkblue][/color]i think that the people are just expressing who they are and on this site we are allowed to express are selves with r art work, so why cant we do the same with are profile pic?[/quote]

Yeah, but it makes profile pages slower to load for people who want to read them. Like most people, if they go to a profile with a million pictures, all it does is irritate them, and make them scroll to the bottom as fast as they can.

Who [b]really[/b] wants to see 25 800 x 600 wallpapers on some fan-girl's profile? Not me! That's where PhotoBucket and MySpace comes in handy. Rolling Eyes

[quote="NekoNinja"][color=darkblue][/color]i hate all those avatar things, you know? like, they make like 20+ and make them in their profile so it looks really big >.<[/quote]

Yeah. They're really getting annoying. Mad

1- dA's "profile" fields are for things like favorite movie, anime, etc. and each field is limited to 50 or so characters in length.
2- Only dA subscribers are allowed to display images in their journals, etc.

Then you should've taken what I said into reference of a dA subscription. I thought you would take it as a rhetorical statement to the potential of what you can do on dA.

Why not do the same here? Put in somekind of limit for images and letter charecters...?

Far as I'm concerned, the SIZE and IMG tags should probably be disabled anyway, as they are the vilest offenders.

I'm not really one to talk, My profile is a day and a half long and ninty-some odd percent boreing text but, profiles like this are irritating

of course you have thew standard issue three day long picture fest. there are more than enough of those, I don't think I leed to link one I assume yall have encountered one at some point or another.

http://www.fanart-central.net/profile-myspace789.php (oooh booze)

http://www.fanart-central.net/profile-cheesepuffsrockoutloudya.php (WTF, it's some 2000 px wide)

Its odd that it be called expressing yourself to paste images in your profile, isn't that expressing someone else?
And the gaian avatars... The first thing I did when I joined that site was go to my friend's profile and ask her if there was anyway to get rid of the ugly chibi I had been assigned.

I don't mind if one, two, three, or four images are in a person's profile, but if those four images are 800 x 600 wallpapers, yeah, I get kinda annoyed.

I agree that you can express yourself just as well as with words, and not visuals.

Oh yeah, those chibi avatar things from tektek.org are annoying. I wouldn't mind one or two on somebody's profile, but 50 of them are just outrageous. Something definetly needs to be done.
