50 x 50 is pretty damn small IMO, I think 64 or 75 would be better since it allows for avatars with decent amounts of detail and mb even writing :)

If you're worried about bandwidth then leave the file size as it is, an internet user worth their salt can get their avatar comfortably within 5k

We gots bigger avatars now. :)

Little bigger than the dimentions you mentioned.

With the bigger avatars, you might want to implement prereq constraints. Say, for example, no avatars allowed until you complete x posts, or until x days have elapsed after registration. That way you would eliminate storing the avatars for lurkers or 1 dayers.
