Avatars as "rewards" to longtime members?

I like the "registered before" idea.... it could be a rolling 24 months or whatever.
I like avatars because they are a visual cue to who authored a post. And they usually take up less space than sigs because they appear in the whitespace below the member name on the lefthand side.

Damn that infernal Bill Cosby and his "reverse psychology" bullshit!
BTW, I really, really like that avatar...which horror film is that from again?

Not sure if I mentioned this earlier but why not just allow "hotlinking" of avatar images. For example, I would be linking to a graphic from my own website, and DVD Talk wouldn't be charged for the bandwidth--I would. So, if avatars would be allowed, members could only have one if they had a place to host their image.
