Yes, avatars are unfortunately limited in size and resolution (though, we like to think, unlimited in coolness ). But since the avatar pic is the one that people see all the time, it's a better aid to recognition than the profile pics which people see less often, and the idea here is to help people recognize each other even though they may never have met before in so-called real life.
Yeah, I figured that... my new thing is the photoshop-styled head-fi icon to the left of my post.

Kind of defeats the whole identification-aid purpose if you go changing your avatar 4 days before the meet.

Yeah, well I've only been using the Canjam logo, so I figured I'd get something more unique...

That was my thinking too. A red canjam logo that's tilted isn't quite as unique as the polar bear. That said, I am off color and tilted.

No, I was talking about your avatar. I see that it's 100 X 100, but it gives the illusion of being bigger than everyone else's.
Sort of like an avatar on Cialas.
