I don't know if I'd say they're opposite, but they are incompatible is a better term.

If a function of the hack allowed avatars to be used again, after ALL had been used once that would solve the problem and allow for enough diversity that they would never run out. Meaning that All used once, then it cycles again, once Avatar 1 has been chosen twice, it again is removed from the list until all the other avatars you have are used a second time, etc., etc.

I mean the value of the hack is there, no doubt about it. However admins will have to make a trade off here. They either have to keep adding more avatars to help create a neverending supply, OR they have to always allow custom avatars from the get go without post requirement.

I made 777 custom avatars for my board, that is a ton and could last for years with this hack. However, since I use a post count point before custom av's allowed, it would eventually run out of avatars. After 777 even if I didn't have the post count rule, it "could" eventually still run out or I'd have to delete inactive users to keep avatars available. In short, I like your mod, but I don't want to make anymore avatars after months of doing it. lol
