I did this a while back as i recall

Do you prefer a forum member like say our Arista who keeps the same avatar and when he posts you know immediately its him or so you prefer someone say like Nicky91 who changes all the time. Or do you prefer a theme changer like say TSII and his naked men in white nappies?

I will do a poll

I don't really care, I look at the poster name before the avatar anyway.

That said, whenever I see Dua Lipa's album in shops, I still think "oh there's Nicky"

One time, I changed my avatar from the original to the reverse mirror image and changed it back the day after. I done this about ten days running just to see if anybody noticed. Nobody noticed.

I prefer people to change them every now and again..maybe once a month.

I like to change mine once a month unless im out on the wander cause i might post photos off my phone as an avi for a few minutes to show what i saw...

I think an avi is a good prop and one that should be played about with...and perhaps have moving ones.


I used to also make mine really big and bright, but ive swallowed my pride and bought reading glasses so dont need to be so bright anymore to make it easier for me to find myself.

I dont think ive judged anyone on what they have as an avi though!

I like it when they stay the same because you build an image of the poster having that avi it’s kinda nice

Yours are usually more serious compared to LT's, so you're in a different category of iconic, Marsh... it can't just be compared like that... all that's left for you is to drop your ava's color-bits to Grayscale if you wanna go vogue... then both of you will be ready for the archive, like forum treasures :love:...

I helped you out that one one time when you transitioned to a traffic cone, but I couldn't just simply do a Marsh ava on my own... I fail as a designer. :bawling:

(Edit) To be fair... it's very hard to re-create avatars for other people (I think)... there's something that we put of ourselves into our own ava choices that can't be emulated by others... so yeah, changes can be very interesting... it's an art :love:

Mine more or less changes with my mood so you can kind of tell what mindset I'm in based on my avatar.

Tbh I like a mix. There are some people who can change every so often and it's fine, and there are others who MUST NEVER change or the forum will implode e.g. Arista, Kirk, Livia.
