What is your avatar of?

ulillillia · 13th June 2007, 02:02

It's a common question on many communities - what is your avatar (the image below your name) of, if you have one? Also related, what is your signature about (the text added at the end of your post) and where did your display name come from?

My avatar is of my first released C program, The Interactive Animation. It's just a highly scaled down version of it.

Because I'm into programming and drowning Tails in the classic 2D Sonic games is the main thing that has kept me at the games for 1000+ hours, my signature is a C program that demonstrates what I do in the classic 2D Sonic games - drown Tails.

My display name originated from my stories I wrote ("The Story of the Wonderful Adventure III" was the one that had it, written in 1998). In the story, there was a character named "ulillillia" and because a letter combination like that is almost never going to be used when registering at a forum, I don't have to fight the "that name has already been taken" stuff. In fact, in the 6 years I've used the internet, I've only had this if I previously registered but didn't know I had registered.

Razzinno · 13th June 2007, 02:10

This has been done here as well. Last year being the most recent.

At any rate, my avatar is simply cut from my desktop pic.

Vie · 13th June 2007, 02:12

An Alfa Romeo 159/Brera/Spider front end.

Probably the best looking front end of a car, and in the case of the 159 one of the best looking cars all round, for some time. Shame the Brera is such a let down on the sporting front really, still nice cruiser and gorgeous car.

ScorLibran · 13th June 2007, 02:21

My screenname is an astrological reference; I was born on the Scorpio side of the Libra/Scorpio cusp. My signature is about being naked. My avatar is a publicity photo of Piper Perabo. She's a Scorpio who would look very nice naked.

Omit Name · 13th June 2007, 03:03

my avatar depicts an event a millennia after the fall of society, in which the only evidence of our sad civilization is a solitary spork discovered by an unremarkable archaeologist named fred. who is from a neighboring star system, that our scientists would have never thought to look into in regards to our current search for extra terrestrial intelligent life. these men, who have to carefully protect themeselves from the ravaged earth, dont understand how the spork survived in the environment, nor can they account as to why it is the only thing they can find. it will remain a mystery to the universe at large for time and time to be.

im just kidding thats all bull. its just some image my bro stumbled upon, that i thought was classy looking. i prolly wont keep it for long. its too hard to see the text.

Beautiful stuff, A. I grabbed a copy of all of them. And used one as my new background.

My av is the hitch cover and front grille of my truck. Name comes from an old IRC channel I was in, started as a joke and the name stuck. Sig... uh, what do I have in my sig?

alex_gamer · 13th June 2007, 07:15

my avatar is the text "im alex!" in binary (white == 1, black == 0) in big endian on one half and in little endian on the other half.

my signature says two things: 1) that every computer error can be traced back to a human action, and 2) that i do not do tech support over pm's.

No but he's neutered, castrated, which one do you call a formally male cat? I guess you could still ask if he's interested in marriage. Maybe I should start an online profile for him.

Male cat, 4, seeking companion.
Likes wrestling with housemate.
Likes destroying fabric couches.
Likes to get food by climbing the legs of humans.
