I was actually really surprised that they took that away when they did. I mean, I never really paid attention to the avatars because I usually didn't know the people there, but still... That feature'd been there since forever, it felt like. =/
@Con. Especially when there's so much public dislike about it. But you make an interesting cash point.
@Freya. Mhm, it was refreshing to have somebody new everyday. Plus they would get lots of attention (wanted or not). It was a neat thing. 'Something to achieve.
I knew a few of the featured avatars from the AF, so it was always cool to see them up there. Now I never see it, so I've nearly forgotten about the featured avatar thing. The blog is kind of stupid.
