thts just one reason ..
there are several other reasons.. like
there are 5-6 member who register on this site each day … but neva post …
there is no point allowing them to upload their avatar n consume the disk space (gs is so far not earning tht much to support such lavishness :p)
n the rule doesnt mean tht u cant get an avatar b4 1000 post …
if u r regular poster .. u can request for avatar … i m sure the admin will listen to ur request :)**
