You guys, seriously. Gawd damnit. Stop changing your avatar pic all the time, it's driving me crazy. Your avatar pic is NOT your e-peen, your forum presence is.

Aahhh... I'm a skinner.. I can't see the same image for too long.. hurts my eyes..

PS: That remind me I had a better version of my last avatar.. thanks! :P

Mine gets changed when the forum's rules on form factor and/or resolution for avatars is updated. Otherwise, same old picture. I think I may have been a "forum king" before I finally broke down and made one.

I can see your point. I usually look at the avatar before reading the screen name. It's faster for me that way. I like slight variations though, based on the same image. Some members often do that with the change in seasons, or they'll add something temporarily as a joke or to match a theme, but still based on the same image.

When a member completely changes an avatar, it makes me think it's a whole different person.

That could also implicate that your impression of another user may have been wrong for all this time. Another solution would be no avatars at all. I thought about ditching WotL for some time now and just using my name/photo instead but meh.

I don't think it is actually "a problem" (for which someone could find a solution).. feels more like a specific "preference" for some..

In any case, it also happens to me what Swingdjted said, but I think it happens mostly in THESE forums since there are people with the same avatar for 10 years or so (and the forums are even older..). I don't think it happens in other "younger" / smaller forums..

Holy crap, Sawg!

k_rock923 · 19th August 2014, 15:24

I've had the same avatar for what? 6 years?

swingdjted · 19th August 2014, 20:40

Almost the same. There was that really odd time when we all went blue. Or was yours blue already? I may be hallucinating, but were you red at one point? Either way, same enough that we all knew who you were just by the avatar.

k_rocks was initially red I believe…

Another member "blued" mine up and I stuck with it...
