The same rules for avatars will be used as before. Please only apply when you have a minimum 1,000 posts, and the avatar should not be more than 50x50 pixels. Heavy animation will also not be approved.
The timing also matters. If you have been here for a certain time, you can still get one, by contacting Mr. Custom. Some people have 10K posts in a year and some people can't even have 1K after 3 years. Each case is handled differently.
This thread should've been opened in the feedback forum, but now that you have the answer to your question, I am going to lock it. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact any of the mods/admins or open a thread in the feedback forum.
