    Hey guys,

    In an effort to make the TouchArcade forums an even better place for gamers and developers to hang out and discuss iPhone games, we're making a somewhat radical change to the forums. Developers will be able to set their own avatars to something that signifies their game, or company to make them easier to spot as they participate in threads.

    If you're a developer, this is part of the perk of being admitted in to the private developer forum. For more information on what's required, check out this thread.

    And of course, thanks to all you guys for making the forums awesome.

    Just took a look at one of Little White Bear Studio's posts to see an example - very well executed and unobtrusive. :D

    Ooooh, nice! :)

    I've put my request forward... I hope I still qualify, because although I am not a coder/publisher, I am a game-designer, having done the UI, layout, designs, artwork and animation for Parachute Panic & Mr. Mahjong Touch, and am currently working on Beyond Ynth and another game tentatively titled Buzz Off, all as part of the FDG Entertainment team. :)

    Did you help design the game Archibald's Adventures by any chance?

    I think all the awesome members should be able to have one, and right now that means only me.
