Just a curious thought:

Why are profile pictures limited to 100 px²? (Really it should be 128 px² because that's a more common logo size)
&
Why can't you use a Scalable Vector Graphics (.svg) file as your profile picture?

1. It's the size that are chosen and it fits the forum layout nicely. You can use Gimp to scale a picture.

2. AFAIK .svg is not supported as profile/avatar format in the forum software. You can easily export an .svg to eg. .png in inkscape.
