How to encourage people to set an avatar?

An awful lot of members here haven't given themselves an avatar. I'm not sure why, so I thought I'd see if there was anything I/other members could do to help those who are "avatarless"?

There is a big scrolling message at the top of The Forum for anyone who doesn't have an avatar, explaining what one is and how to set one, but if anyone would like further help then please just let us know by posting here!

Thanks. :)

Perhaps let those who do have an avatar set one for those that don't - it could be interesting......
I have thought about that, but then I thought it would be a bit unfair as there may be some people who deliberately do not want to set an avatar, for some reason!

If you are one such member, I would love to know your reasons why. In idle moments, I sometimes do consider doing a Google Image Search for avatarless people and setting the first appropriate result for them!

The real big avatar question is why do some members always bloody change theirs, aaaargh!!!!!!!

I change mine at Samhain, Yule and if I can remember Ostara. Then I change it back again lol. I was a member of a site once who really did start banning folk for not having an avatar, it rapidly degenerated and I wasn't a member long after that.

I change mine when I get bored. or have an inspiration for a new one, and I do adjust the age on it if it lasts over a year.
Hmm... it's due to change soon and I have a pic of me in short trousers...

i'm not that fussed about having an avatar tbh

however, its pretty easy to find myself a number 9. at least it would get rid of that annoying 'you haven't set yourself an avatar' pop-up
