I've been putting together a page to house all of the avatars that I've created over the years. The page is far from being done, but I thought people might find the Doctor Who avatars interesting. I do have one request, please don't link directly (hot link) to the image. Please save it to your computer and upload it to the hosting service of your choice. If you don't know how to do that, let me now and I will explain how to do so. Many thanks and now here's the link... paratime.ca/avatars.html

Great stuff!
Also, once the Matrix is up and running I'd be happy to host images for folk - I've still got bandwidth (one eMagazine, one review website for Aussie SpecFic and several RPG wikis - and still my biggest bandwidth hog are my fan made music videos for Farscape)

Thanks Curufea. All of the avatars on the site are a year to two years old. I should do some more when I get a chance. One thing I did do is I added a link to the title image so now people can click on it to return to the main page, or use the back button in their browsers.

Only if you want to have me host them mind. I don't want to appear to be grabbing other people's content just for the sake of making my site look good.
I'd prefer if you created an account so the images would keep attribution.
But there's no rush as there are a few kinks I need to work out with Drupal anyway it doesn't yet cross reference how I like, and I haven't worked out a taxonomy.

I have no problem with you hosting these avatars for people here, but it might be easier if you did it by request instead of making a mirror site. That way should I add any new additional avatars (which I'm very likely to do), you won't feel the need to catch up. I hope that makes sense.

That works.
Currently I'm allowing users of the site to upload files, so they could upload from your site into the Matrix site itself (or from anywhere else) thus hosting files there.
I'm not sure of the htaccess for the images though - I'll need to check and see that if someone does put images in the Matrix, those images can be hot linked.
