Who has the best avatar?

Postby Doug R. » Thu Jan 20, 2011 7:09 pm

I consider avatars very important aspects of forum life. To me, a user's avatar represents them, to the point where they are the avatar in my mind. This is why it drives me nuts when people frequently change avatars, or, God forbid, use someone else's. Who has your favorite avatar? Who has the most appropriate? Whose is best in your mind? Feel free to suggest more than one. I'm just curious to see if everyone else is as opinionated as I am. (Could list old avatars too).

Well you have a good one but I'm a bit biased since I drew it. It's sort of scary. Meem has a nice one, it's pretty. Sure flowers are quite neutral but it seems fitting.

I like Indigo's.

I dont like mine and was going to change it since it was the only pic I had on that computer at the time, but its kinda too late now.

Indigo's I think is the most fitting.

As for overall best, I have to toss my vote to Armulus Satchula's goggled cat. I used to smile every time I laid eyes upon it.

I do love my avi, though. I parted with it for 48 hours last year and came running back.

I saw that! I didn't like it....I'm used to your "BEWARE OF DOUG" avi, and the dog was like, "Is that Doug... uh.... I'm not...used to....looking at usernames...." xD

Well it says it all. A balding guy, with power, who is not all that serious, and like to play poker. :D

As for my vote, I haven't seen it for a while, and can't remember who it was who had it. I have to investigate and get back.

:oops: Well... thanks! :)

@ChromaKey: though you have that beautiful, sweet and witchy (this last adjective has been given to me from someone else :wink: ) gaze, I like the one you have rigth now more, sitting down glancing at... the ocean? :)

My favorite? Doug's, without doubt. I find it so fitting, he showing up his face just a little behind that warning :lol: :twisted: I'm not sure if the idea was Doug's or Seko's, but, thumbs up.

The second position in my ranking is shared by Echo's and CN's avi. Echo's avi (and the explanation he has written here) is soooo fitting with one of his chars :lol: And CN... well, I simply love that pic. Moon behind the trees in a not-so-dark night.

I was thinking about switching back too. I had a lot of PM's telling me to change it back :x

EDIT:
Okay my friend just pointed out, that cat has human eyes. It's officially creepy.

My favorites are Seko's, caged_bird_sings original one, but my favorite one.. and I hope someone can help me out here as to who the player is (I believe, to one of the non-English players)... depicts a rabbit being swallowed up by an amoeba...

Don't change it Armulus! I've gotten used to this one, that looks like you.

I think everyone's suits them. You get used to identifying people by the picture, it's true. I'm sure I mucked people up when I switched away from the one Seko did for me.

People switching or adding(sumbum) avatar's messes with my head.

:P

But I agree. You do get used to the association and I don't often look at names if they have an avatar. Faster to scan over the pic.
