There will be an update to this thread when I feel you guys have earned it.
The premise behind this movement has already been proven to be wildly successful. So many of you have changed your avatars. The place looks better, fresher & new.
But some of you are recalcitrant. So, so sad.

I have let this drop and I need to pick it back up again. My bad, and I'll get on that.
One quick thing - am I the only one around here who gets @ZRod's & @JJ Husker's avatars confused when they're on the front page? Maybe it's the colorblind thing, but they look really similar to me, especially the shrunken versions.

You colorist. Just because they’re both green...I have let this drop and I need to pick it back up again. My bad, and I'll get on that.

Colorists are preferable to apostrophists.

As promised last week 
here's your update, you filthy animals!
Here are some people who need to change their avatars. If your avatar is in this list you should feel bad and make amends to your fellow HuskerBoardians.
These first few folks find themselves in the same list as when I started this thread a year ago. For shame.
@lo country What are you even doing with your life.
@PaulCrewe You're a leader among men. Act like it.
@hskrfan4life The person in your avatar is probably so creeped out by this they'll never join the site. You've cost us a potential member. Hope you're happy.
@Toe If you're going to steal anything from Reddit, at least use something cool.
@Undone Since you insist on keeping Grant Wistrom, at least use a good picture of him. YOU'RE WELCOME.
@4skers89 @swmohusker @Atbone95 @LumberJackSker @JoeHuskers! @billdozer15 @cheekygeek @Jason Sitoke @HUSKER 37 @obert1 @Head Coach Scott Frost I have nothing for you but the contempt you deserve for failing your fellow members.
Here are a few that I've found since my most recent update. If you find yourself on this list, you have work to do to repair your reputation and get right with your fellow man (and woman!).
@iLoveLamp It's too muddled. As a small avatar it's just a blur. Pick something cleaner.
@gorp512 It shouldn't be too much of a strain to change your avatar once in a while. Get on it.
@Cdog923 The bad boy Avenger? You think you can pull that off? Harrumph.
@skers83 There are plenty of Bobfather avatars. I feel like this is becoming low-hanging fruit.
@Danimal I wavered on where to put this. I get the chainsaw is a huge part of the character, but it's too small. Crop & focus on the head shot.
@grandpasknee Is this your son? Grandson? You? If not, take it down. Or, at least, get a color version of this thing.
@Thanks_Tom RR I get the reference, but I don't get the why. Doesn't go with your username. Fix this.
@soup Not dissimilar to @Danimal in that I like it, but you need to tighten the focus. Stick with the head shot.
@Judoka If you're not the dude doing the throwing, you're the dude getting thrown. It's confusing. Find another judo pic.
@Ulty Stop trying to make Ultimate happen. It's not going to happen!
@Bad2theBONES You threw a tshirt on the floor, took a pic, and that's your avatar? Low, low effort & visually confusing. C'mon.
THIS list is who all of the above should be emulating. These folks are doing it right.
@teachercd You've changed avatars quite a bit over the years (yay) and most have been good. This is another solid choice. Keep up the good work.
@Roxy15 I feel like I've rated this before, but I'm not seeing it on a cursory glance. Completely on brand, clean, & visually appealing. Nice job.
@Street Novelist These cretins don't get the reference, I'm sure, but it's a solid album cover from the days when rock was still rock.
@deedsker For as many big cat-themed sports teams as there are out there, this is a unique avatar on HB. Clean & tidy. Nice job.
@Scarlet Overkill While your name doesn't reference your avatar, Gilda Radner is a gem. Point Gryffindor!
@man eating mastodon While this is neither a man nor a mastodon, I'm presuming this baby is related to you. So it's awesome.
@Red Five The Bros. Brown. Even one inch tall, instantly recognizable.
@husker98 I don't even know which manga this is from but it's solid artwork, and (afaik) the only one of its kind on HB. Kudos.
@chamrocck Angry corn cobs are the best corn cobs, I always say.
@FearAmeer A true Husker hero as a tidy, simple avatar. Like.
@DevoHusker This is kismet - a golfer who loves Devo. Very on-brand. Very retro chic.
@huKSer SCHUUUUUULLLTZZZZZ!!!!!!!
@schriznoeder I don't even like South Park but this is solid. Easy to see, unique, timeless.
