Iunno, am I recognizable without one?
You are, since you're the only person with ICQ and AOL.  Since they're in a square with profile and messages, it sortof forms an avatar.

I find personal text helps a lot. I usually get momentarily confused when someone changes both their text and their avatar at the same time; so long as one stays constant, I tend to catch on immediately. I don't find it difficult remembering names or writing styles, either.

Hello 3.  Seen 9 lately?
I thought 7 ate him?

Anyways, I tend to see everyone without Avatars as a kind of massive, split personality hive mind when they post. avatars just make people more recognizable.

You won't be surprised with the number of forums I've seen that have this name already taken due to bots. That is, out of the ones that actually allow names this short.

I find some people's lack of avatar to be an avatar in and of itself.
Like RAM, or MSH for awhile.

Evil Neko with a cannon for an arm? Sounds awesome to me.

That's actually a hair ribbon. She's a hell raven. With nuclear power. Slightly creepier than normal in that picture.

I'm surprised no one beat me to pointing that out.

As for avatars, I identify people by them primarily, though I do check names every so often. Writing style probably helps a bit too.

Ah, looked like ears to me. Still cool though.

This is my avatar. There are many like it, but I drew this shit, so this one is mine.

I should probably have my head checked, because I find myself in complete agreement with Nikov.

I personally hate people with really big animated avatars, because my poor little MacBook shits itself for a couple seconds while it tries to load it. And then I usually scroll right past it.

The sad thing is that for all the evil or creepiness of the picture, you can still see her panties...
