I think that FUDforum should come with a standard set of avatars, but I'm no artist and don't even know where to find predrawn royalty-free avatars. Is there anybody out there who would be willing to gather avatars, zip them together and post the file here? What about including them in the distribution?


Unfortunately I have little time to locate royalty-free archives of avatars and lack the skill to draw some myself. So, if someone is willing to draw some or point me to an archive where royalty-free avatars can be found, I'd definately consider adding them into a distro.

This was exactly what I meant. Somebody could 'give back' to the community by compiling a set of avatars. As this does not require coding skills there should be plenty of people capable of doing it.

Well, I will see about making some avatars. Not a ton mind you...but...what style should I do? I am a quite talented at cartooning, so I could do some original catoonish characters, and allow FUD to use them exclussively or something...
Anyone have some other ideas for a style for the avatars? Keep in mind they must all be original. I will not steal anything to make the avatars.

Cartoonish/exagerate style would be quite nice for default avatars, IMHO. I'd suggest basing the images on various state of mind, for example 'happy', 'cool', 'depressed', etc...

What do you think?

I already have all kinds of avatars on my machine. I'll find some more, and send you a "compilation" of them. Very Happy

I've compiled a modest sized collection of them. If you'd like more, or avatars of a certain nature, just tell me, and I will try to find somemore.


---Edit---I read the terms on the archives after uploading the avatars... Shocked AS usual, the legal jargon is confusing... Here are the links I used, if anybody can figure out if you can use these avatars...

I'm pretty sure you can use them all... But, I'd rahter not violate copyrights. See these links:
http://www.avatarity.com/
http://www.nutrocker.co.uk/
http://www.hotavatars.com/

I would make some myself, but... I have no idea how to make avatars on the computer....

@RushFan

Thanks for the avatars, they look great! However, I don't think we should add them to FUDforum unless they are free (released into the public domain).

Does anyone else know of such avatars that can be added?

Best regards.

Frank

Just a quick note to let you guys know that FUDforum, starting with release 2.8.0, now ships with some default avatars.
