Then, I had the avatar of the stick figure who would endlessly douse himself in gasoline and burn himself to a tiny crisp.

To be honest, i actually preferred this one to your current one. Not that a flamethrower-wielding dwarf isn't awesome. ;)

I've never had trouble with Jakkarra's name. When I saw that avatar, mostly what came to mind was "I remember that, good taste!" because it had come up in long winded discussions on other forums.

Dunno about my avatar. I don't really 'like' it, strictly speaking, since it's a clan logo for a dead clan in a dead game. But I've been using for... five years now I think. And don't really want to sow confusion by changing it.
