I'd take that.
Doesn't need to be TOO much bigger, especially since even a small size increase would cause an exponential increase in server bandwidth load. Would probably require some slight redesign of some pages too, since all of the forum pages and player pages are designed right now around avatars ALWAYS being 75x75.
But even a small increase in both dimensions and file size would be quite useful for the agents.
Hate to bust the bubble but you're talking some serious expense here. Reason? It's been suggested before (bigger avatars with more file size) and the reply back then (as best as I can repeat it here) was that it would cause a major drain on CPU capacity... enough so that more would have to be added... and that' not something Bort and company are eager to plunk down mega bucks for... yet. Perhaps, someday... but not today.
