Ditch the actors and musicians avatars

[MacGig]

I don't use them. Does anyone? lol

removing them reduces SMF download size too...

just a thought... not a big deal, but a suggestion anyway.

[Arantor]

This site still does, and so do several sites I've encountered.

If I'm not mistaken, it was discussed a while back to replace them with something more modern.

DUMP 'EM!!

Have cartoon characters. They're kinda timeless.

Dunno about copyright issues, though.

Mind you, wouldn't having actors and musicians, essentially, need copyright clearance?

That's something I've always wondered with the current set...

Oh well, too late to complain now, eh?

Unless you're an actor...

I am, when the old lady wants me to be

You act like a good lover?

Try doing that for real. She'll appreciate it.

Unless you mean your mum, of course...

If the original photos were offered under a license that allowed re-use, probably not. Given the size and manipulations it could be argued as a fair use defense if it came to that. Not sure how well that would play out, however.

Cartoon characters would be a bit worse of a situation as they are often trademarked.

SMF Team members!

[Arantor]

As long as it's not former team members

Only nekkid, female ones.

* JBlaze proposes celebrity versions of past and current team members

I prefer my idea.
