I know that the mods for pictures in posts are probably sufficient enough for
what I'm asking, but can you make an option to create customizable member
avatars (profile pictures so to speak) like in the Brickfilms Forums
(http://www.brickfilms.com/phpBB2/index.php)? Much appreciated.

Maybe.

This might be OK, but I would suggest the following limitations:

1. No animated images, period.
2. All avatars must be a certain fixed size.  It looks crappy when
    you are at a web-BBS where some avatars are 40x40 and others are
    50x100 or whatever.
3. Some sort of moderation process to avoid icons that are obscene,
    offensive, etc.
4. Don't call them "avatars".  Icons is fine.
