Bravenet we believe it's time for you to implement a section for forum visitors to post avatars (gif images and such). Now there many forum websites who offer free and paid forum services which provide this avatar feature to their clients.
Bravenet it's time for you to implement this feature, atleast for now. There are many other features that are needed such as the display of how visitors are currently live within the forum, ability to maintain forum by creating different sections or topics for to speak instead of a long strand of topics.
For now we would settle for avatars. To many years have gone by for Bravenet not to have done this already.
