How are some people's avatar pics so HUGE?

I think it's if you donate to AW, you get to have a bigger avie. (hint, hint)

Plus the moderators probably get larger avies, cuz, well they're awesome.

When you get to 50 posts, you get more PM space and a larger avatar.

You don't have to donate.

Look, there's a stunning and emotionally moving FAQ: Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Avatars

I collected a bunch of dirt on all the mods (you should hear the stuff I found on Silver King and ChaosTitan) and paid the mob to frame Mac for a couple of heinous crimes.

I got a bigger avatar in fairly short order...

PM me. The more people who know, the safer you are.

This thread reminds me that I should enlarge my avatar in the near future. When it comes to fish, size does matter!

Fish Dude, because unlike Certain Other Mods with feline and doggie and dragon avatars, YOU have never cruelly mocked the deathless prose of my emotionally moving and intellectually stimulating FAQs, or my wretched spelling, I'm at your disposal with respect to increasing your visual impact.

I've written the information on a piece of paper and hidden it under the welcome mat outside your door. Read it, then burn it.

Actually it's two pieces of paper. I needed an extra page to fit everything I have on Silver King.

Excellent! I'd prefer something larger, say by about thirty percent or so?

(The existing one was masterfully rendered by you some time ago, if I recall correctly.)

I've committed the information to memory and burned the evidence. For some reason my eyes are stinging though. And my brain is scared. Very scared.

Thanks so much, guy! It's not that I think my picture is all that or anything (Smirks), but was just curious!

Girl, your picture is all that. Great name too.

Just means it's working. Nothing to worry about. If your spleen starts itching, you might want to meander toward an emergency room, though.

I loved it. It was better than Cats. I'm going to see it again and again.

One of the best avatars ever, supersized:

Poor little fishie....

Or is it just leaping around in a generally joie de vivre kind of way, and not because it's stuck on a fisherman's fishing hook? That would make me happier.

Noted. Though I sometimes get my spleen and my ovaries confused, so I'll have to pay special attention to the specific symptoms.

She was angry and fought for her life, then seemed content to be alive after she was released.

What if she'd refused to leave, though? I often wonder what would happen if the fisherpeople landed a whacking big fish and then released it and it leapt back on the boat. Because that would be scarey, wouldn't it? I'd have nightmares about that.

Not to derail or anything...

Fish almost always run from danger, especially when hooked. It's not unheard of, though, for them to turn and jump toward boats, and even land inside of vessels; but that happens rarely, in my experience.

The fish in my avatar, a tarpon, weighed about 150 pounds. I took that shot while fighting the fish, no easy feat. Soon after, the camera was set aside and the tarpon brought to the boat, where she was revived and set free in good condition.
