The main reason against larger profile pictures is the amount of storage resources that images take up, and even small increases add up with the large number of users that would use larger images. Also its a fun tradition and challenge to have to work to make an avatar!Tailsfan101 wrote:Thirded.

In all seriousness, that makes complete sense. (except for that last part. Maybe I'll think otherwise once I do get an avatar though)
