It would be a funny social experiment if people were to choose my avatar

Your avatar is still too large.

Image

Read that very carefully. It says that your avatar should not be greater than 80px in any direction. Why don't you download the image that you want to use as an avatar to your computer, edit it to be the correct size, then host it somewhere. There are tons of image hosting services out there, such as Imageshack.

Ill do that sometime but i find it odd that anyone is allowed to have any specific sized avatar. There is nothing forcing you have a specific sized avatar besides maybe admins telling you to do it.

That's because 99% of all users here are capable of reading and following the rule stated on the profile page, and of the remaining 1%, 75% follow peer or admin request to size their avatar down without too much questioning.

Besides, this system would be able to reliably check the size of a remotely hosted avatar how exactly?

Can't CSS set the image size? and then it doesn't matter how big the image is?

The issue is not rescaling, it's bandwidth. Downloading a 2MB jpeg and rescaling it is going to eat more bandwidth and take longer than downloading a tiny png.

Not to mention that IE doesn't obey and shows the image in its original size.

And CSS rescaling is focused on speed rather than quality which means people waste bandwidth downloading huge images which end up being rescaled and looking crappy.
