A new forum feature: an ingame "no character portrait" sign instead of random avatars

Yesterday I've noticed that new users who haven't installed their own pictures as avatars get an ingame "no character portrait" sign instead of random avatars:
I don't know whether it's a good idea, though: while getting something BG related is nice, the fact that all forumites without own pictures have the same avatar is strange.
For example, I've got used to @lunar having an orange avatar, @abacus - a blue one and @FinneousPJ - a green one. And now they all have the same portrait.

I quite liked my little insane smiley though...
Because it's hard to undestand who are many of these people:
Go https://www.google.com/
type "YOUR NAME site:forums.beamdog.com" , for example, "ygramul site:forums.beamdog.com"
When seeing the result "YOUR NAME - Beamdog Forums" (ex., "Ygramul - Beamdog Forums"), click with your left mouse button) on a triangle and choose "Cached copy).
Then the forum will be opened in a cached version that will include your previous random avatar.

Little things like uploading a profile picture make the community a better place. Thanks!

Frankly, its harder to tell who people are at a glance with these new avatars than the old ones! Not to mention these look like they were carved on leather bags.
(sigh) My cool blue smiley... Dammit. Just for that, I'm going to get an avatar that has no relation to my name whatsoever-- no "brer" anything here. :{
