On those who change their avatars multiply, and with out real reasons
« on: June 24, 2009, 12:09:24 pm »
Like me! Even though I know people from their avis too :P

So, what do you think of them? I'm going to rant tomorrow, since it's 0:10 am here...

It's always a little off-putting when someone changes their avatar. There are IMO 2 kinds of people who have avatars:
1. those who change it so rarely, or in such a small way as to be almost un-noticable (I'm thinking of Aqizzar mostly, but i think most of us are in this catagory)
2. those who change it often. I've noticed that even they usually stick to a general theme.

Some months ago I tried changing my avatar to a rather disappointing rendition of Ben via the City of Heroes character maker.  It didn't go over well at all.  Conversely, this green bearded Ben drew only a couple comments, but I'm not quite as active as I used to be.

I do miss a few long time avatars.  Like Umiman's guy-typing-in-a-vat-of-pudding, and Sniper Joe's frogs (dammit).

I stopped using that avatar because people always used it to assume I was being sacarstic or cruel when I was just being neutral.

Then I can't help but wonder why you thought a masked Nazi would make you seem any less sarcastic or cruel.

Now that's sarcasm!

I actually like umimans new avatar, I think it suits him better.

Heh, I always get a little shocked when I get mentioned fondly like that. XD But yeah, new avatar because I haven't been as into frogs as usual.

Also I miss IWMs Flan. She's cool.

Aww, you shouldn't be. ♥
I am quite... found... of you.  ;)

((OOC note:  o_O ))

I never changed my avatar or sig, ever, and I've been here for a while. It's actually one of the more stable parts of my life.

I don't have a theme, I either make my own(crappy) ones, or I use something that's been on my mind alot recently.

Anything from Touhou brings a smile to my face.
Flan brings a certain girl from Tsukihime to mind...

I just finished Tsukihime(One playthrough only), and I admit I'm a little shaky/disturbed/sad.
