Hello,

The old email address that we used to receive new avatars is now so overrun by spam as to be pretty useless.

So, from now on, please send any pictures you would like to use for your detective avatar to this address:
sleuth.avatars@gmail.com

The rules:
1) This offer is only open to current subscribers.
2) Portrait photos only. No cartoons, illustrations, full body shots, etc.
3) Try to stick with the style of the game.
4) We reserve the right to refuse to post avatar images for any reason. The most common reasons we refuse are:

It can take up to six weeks to turn around avatars, so please don't freak out if you don't hear back right away.

If you sent an avatar to the old address that has not yet been posted, please resend it to this address.

Thank you! (And thanks to the volunteer avatar wranglers who help get these prepared and posted).

Not total freedom, read my post again Joey. Admin (or mods) still need to scan the entries and click yes/no to the uploaded avatar (meaning, the avatar cannot be posted in public before they green light it). Anyway, i don't even know if the computer program can do that, but it is a suggestion. sorry if i'm beating the dead horse LOL.

I do agree that Ben probably have read this, and from my limited experience here with Ben's character, i am guessing this means Ben is working on something but it's not the time to confirm anything yet. Otherwise, he's just not the type of person to say no when it's really a.... no. I think the old timers are a better judge of that.

By the looks of things, with so many new things appearing, I'm sure Ben will provide soon enough. I wouldn't be surprised if he's working on them now. If he wasn't, he would have said so by now.

I don't think Ben will have seen this, becuase he would probably have posted to let everyone know where they stood. He probably will soon though. Just don't hold your breath ;)

*releases a tiny breath* Oh well. I hope it does happen eventually! I can't wait for my new face! ;)

If there is anything I can do, let me know. I'm pretty good at picture editing and everything.

I can help with the manual stuff if needed be. My graphic ability stops at doing charts with powerpoint.... (really nifty charts, that is).

Yes, Adam, i would have suffocated long ago if i was holding my breath.... :-P

The squirrel does a fabulous job editing and cropping the pics. That isn't where the hold up is. Ben has a few batches that need to be uploaded which only he can do. Like Adam said, with the new things popping up in the game, I would be surprised if he wasn't already working on them :-)
