Yeah, but what about the profile pictures?

Depends what the community looks like in the flesh. Likelihood is it will make this a very disturbing place...

I'm not sure why you're using the future tense there...

Profile pics in the forum? Where? I see nothing! Nothing! 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

If you want to see the picture of the poster then hover over their profile link and voila! Therefore, no need to go to the trouble and download overhead of putting tiny pictures of each message poster.
I vote for don't bother.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

I think it would be cool. It's just nice to get an idea of who everyone is ya know. Much better than just a screen name.

You may end up turning these threads into looking like conversations between serial killers[^].

NNnnnoooooooooo next you will go all touchy feely on us and want us to register our emotions and what we are doing today.
I think there is a fair percentage of us who have absolutely no interest in the more social aspect of the interwebs.

It's possible to set the cursor-hover to reveal the eyesores (as I have) - so, in that sense, there's no actual need to post the pic next to each post.
If saving this task allows you an extra 15min nap, enjoy.

I think you should position the profile pics so it looks like the poster is actually speaking their words.
And animate them for a more realistic effect.
Because that's what the World Wide Web is for, dammit!

Associating a phone-number or a picture could lead to easier tracking. Face-recognition is advanced these days, and there's camera's everywhere.
I can show you the other fingers, if that's helpful?

If you're that afraid of life, make sure you never leave the house. Someone might actually notice you.

I'd have sent a resume if I wanted to be noticed.
Then again, that's not the point - it's not about going unnoticed, it's about going without tracking

Except for having so little to do, home or away, that you contemplate other people's avatars as not meeting your impeccable standards.

That's childish. You just got ghetto down voted, like we did back in the day - with words!

"People wanna see what people look like" - no, you want to see what people look like. I prefer people looking like what they feel like looking like.
There's all sorts of things people do that deserves you outcry. Perhaps consider complaining about people, when live and in color, having their faces buried in their hand-held device. Even couples in a restaurant over dinner. Or those who take their pets out to defecate in public streets. Or that the Code Project website seems to smell ever so slightly from gin.
On the other hand, I suppose eye contact isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Lighten up. Seriously. It's like you have nothing better to do than argue with people online. Your life really suck that bad?

$20 says you don't get along with women. You can deny it to save face, but I already know the truth.

Jeremy Falcon wrote: Your life really suck that bad?
Oh dear. Projecting again. I would say the appropriate description for your comments about the world not meeting your needs (avatars, women, &etc.): misery loves company - and you've been feeling a bit lonely of late.
Jeremy Falcon wrote: $20 says you don't get along with women
Let me further disappoint you: that quality time you spend with a smile drawn on your hand with lip-stick doesn't really equate to you getting along with women. It is, however, probably responsible for those blisters on you palms.
