We Need Custom Avatars

I don't know why this wasn't implemented. This was a feature on the sims forum and many other forums. I thought this forum was supposed to be an improvement because the old sims forum was supposedly showing its age which is why you guys decided to shut down the sims forum. I'm sorry, but everything in this forum is a downgrade. It's more difficult to navigate through posts, it lacks features as compared to the sims forum and many other forums, and it's visually unappealing versus the sims forum and other forums. Was it really that difficult to keep the old sims forum running? Did you guys really have to ruin a good community? I'm sure a lot of people from the old sims forum won't be making their way to this forum, that's for sure.
