Some people kept it.
Some people still haven't returned and thus are unknowingly ducked forever.
IIRC that's about what happened, someone will have a link to the exact thread. I know I posted in it.
Incorrect, you're thinking about the avatar that I'm using. (For the record, I didn't have a fake key, I just wanted to use this avatar).
The mallard avatars were placed on members with avatars exceeding the new size limit. And yes, some people kept them.
