Profile Picture
I can understand the new person just signing up here on BP to not have a profile picture but I would think that after using this a few times one would not only finish completing their profile but uploading a picture of themselves so others here in the community would know who they are actually messaging with? Personally, not having a picture shows they dont take this site seriously and I wish Josh would make it a function that after sign up if you dont have a picture of yourself up you will not be able to access the site except for your profile so you have to comply. Josh, where are you at on this? :lol:

I wouldn't require it
You know there are a lot of lurkers who have profiles but never participate, only learn. Why take that from them?
If anyone has an issue with non-avi's, they have the option of not participating themselves or interacting with the non-avi's. It works both ways.
