Yoda Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 What do you think about avatars (the picture under your user name)? Are they a big part of your daily dose of posting? When you see one, do you attribute that certain person... as to how they are? For instance, do you judge the person if they’re a guy or a gal because of the type of image they have in their avatar? I’m just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I like to change mine based on moods, or current happenings on the weekends etc. I sometimes judge people on theirs for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I like them, because that's one thing that can never be too big or in the way of posts. However, it's sometime to kind of associate a poster with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Gleason Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I love avatars, as long as the person using them has given some thought to what they are using. I've seen some great ones, and I've seen some that are just stupid. I don't like it when people just use the generic ones offered up by some sites. I mean, give it some thought people!

SoxFan1 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I definitely associate avatars with some posters. For instance, every time I see or hear of Mike Caruso, it reminds of Kalapse. And any Family Guy references bring Balta to my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBlackSox8 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I'm random.....anything and everything about anything and everything for my avatar/sigs. I do register avatars to different posters....and it's irritating when they are changed constantly hard to keep up on who's who....gotta look at the usernames constantly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 The Rally Crede craze caused me to realize how much I rely on visual clues to see who is posting. I change avatars probably too much, but if I didn't, who would read my posts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamTell Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I'd like to change mine to deal something with William Tell. Like put an arrow through the apple and say my name on it or something.

southsider2k5 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I like them except for the vid avys. They break up the reading and give a reflection of personalities that can be hard to gleen off of the black and white of a persons postings.

Well, sounds like a personal problem and you just insist on taking it out on our poor avatars that are just trying to fit in with the rest of Avatar Society.

It doesn't distract .... that's the key, imo. You can read a post without the av being a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
