Avatars

ok how do i get one? i cant find anything in my profile editor and i read the FAQ about avatars which says:

How do I get a picture under my username?
These small images are called Avatars. They are displayed below your username on all posts that you make. There are two kinds of avatars: those provided by the administrator and those that you upload yourself.

If the administrator has provided a set of avatars, and avatars are enabled, you may select an avatar that best describes your personality.

The administrator may also have enabled custom avatars, which allows you to upload an avatar image from your computer.

For more information about avatars, click here.
I have noticed anyone who has an avatar has a special title like VIP member or some mod title, is it possible for anyone without a "special title" to get an avatar? If not how does one get a "special title"? Is it a certain amount of posts?

Alex (Imprezer) does lots of random things like "Hey post here to get VIP status" or "Post 20 reviews in the Review section to get VIP status." You pretty much have to stay active and jump on the offers when he makes them. I think he also has been known to give status to people for post a lot in the tech forums.

Alex did this at one time but currently does not award VIP status or avatars. A high post count is not related to receiving an avatar. We encourage posts in the tech (performance forums) but hope for 'quality' posts of genuine technical assistance. A simple '+1' for someone's choice of catback or BOV does not count for anything. In other words, postwhoring in the tech forums will get you noticed, but not in a way you're gonna like.
