You're quite wrong.
Let me use the power of rephrasing.
If we could use custom images the number of amrmatars that could be uploaded would be nearly infinite. You could use an image of almost anything aside from inappropriate images.
Being that there is media in the world that is popular in many cultures and sometimes around nearly the entire world certain types of images are most likely to be used by several users.
Also, this is a gaming site.
Therefore, I feel, you would be bound to see certain types of armatars that a similar to many other gaming sites. I assume you would see:
- Halo, Call of Duty, Half-Life, Need for Speed, Angry Birds, Assassin's Creed, Portal, Madden, The Sims, Command & Conqueer, and other
video game armatars
-
Sports related armatars
- Batman, Spiderman, Superman, X-men, and other
superhero/comic book armatars
- Batman Darknight Rises, Batman The Darknight, Batman Begins, Inception, Fight Club, Pirates of the Caribbean, Lord of The Rings, Avengers, Avatar, Twighlight, Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, and many other
popular movie armatars- Dexter, Weeds, Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, True Blood, Big Bang Theory, Phineas and Ferb, Simpsons, Family Guy, The Office, and many other
television armatars- Naruto, Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Full Metal Alchemist, Fooly Cooly, Death Note, Drangonball Z, Gundam Wing, Bleach, Blood +, Sailor Moon, Samurai Champloo and other
anime armatars- Crush the Castle, John's Blue elephant, Stick figure bases, Kingdom Rush, Gem Craft, and other
flash game armatars-
Pictures of users faces and pets armatars-
Car, motorcycle, airplanes, jets, tanks, military vehicles and other vehicle based armatars-
Military based armatars-
Guns and weapon based armatarsDo you get the point I'm making? People are going to pick from these categories and they're most likely only going to pick from a very limited number of items in any given category.
Being that this is a gaming site and most the people on here are younger, they're probably going to go with
Halo and COD armatars or very typical armatars from the other categories I listed. These are images that are seen as avatars on many other sites.
Uniqueness to the site is lost.The armatars that we have now where
made for this site only (for the most part) it makes them
unique to this site and original. And if you see an armatar on another site it should remind you of Armorgames.
