    The title kind of explains it, but I'm suggesting that we have an archive of our past profile pictures.

    This could be useful in many ways. Here's two I can think of right now:
    - Retrieving old avatars (if you don't have them on your current device)
    - If someone is reported for their avatar, but then they change it before a mod check the report, the mods can still see the one being reported.

    Here's what I think it could look like on the profile page:
    upload_2016-8-15_15-43-19.png

    Also, the profile owner should be able to control who is able to view them (but mods override it)

    Neutral. I like the idea but I don't think we need it.

    I like the idea of having to see our old profile pictures on forums, it is cool :D I really love watching my old pics but I think we can live without having it implemented.

    Alright, but what if you changed your profile pic, then wanted to change it back but couldn't find the image?

    Well, I guess keep your pics in your PC otherwise what you said may happen.

    Switching pc's, deleted it, etc. many cases where you can make careless mistakes and lose it.

    I know many people that do, especially in the tech community, but is an 11 year old gonna back up their PC just to save a profile pic?
    (It's not off topic as it's related to the suggestion :p)

    13>11 and I didn't say it was impossible. I meant it is unlikely especially in this community.
