If you use these without giving credit, I have a half a mind to pubically state you "stole" these avatars.
Free feel to use these, but ONLY if you give me credit for finding them" That's not really fair if each artist didn't give consent. I know a LOT of graphic artists who do not want their art out for free use, unless otherwise specified.

Where many of those Avatars came from it clearly states that "direct linking, stealing, archiving and posting elsewhere is strictly forbidden. Pay the artists a visit from time to time, and when used give credit to the artist (they underlined that, not me) of the icons and ***** ********." I will keep the Design co. name out. The graphic artists names are submitted with their work, and they have galleries for a reason. To be recognized.
No one should have to give you credit, no offense, simply because you've "found them." You did not spend the time making them, which by the way can take hourssss and longer. We're all searching for images at some point or another, whatever the purpose may be, which means we all spend time doing so.
There is no mention of the artists name near the avatar you are using.
When other artists take their time to create you custom graphics, do you credit them?
In RE: to CrimsonDOOM: Removing images from one section, may help
(the artists in particular), or may not. I have found my work stolen (work that I rendered, from stratch), so I understand it sucks to have work which you have spent hours if not days on, taken. However, there is the internet, and it allows for right clicking. I don't only work with graphics, I'm more of a hands on artist, and I've had my work stolen/copied in the real, too... it happens to be a cruddy fact of life. 
I'm in no way at all meaning to be rude... I'm just writing here (from a different viewpoint, trying to make a point, and sense, at 4am)... I hope you, and others who have posted here can appreciate where I am coming from.
