Title: Do you recognize posters by their avatars?
Post by: GilloD on March 29, 2008, 11:03:18 AM
Because I do and I'm afraid that if I change my avatar everyone will forget who I am.

Hell yeah.  These images get burned in my brain.

There's a guy over at GAF that's using that Kevin Smith avatar that I used for awhile and for some reason every now and then I'll do a double take thinking that I made a post without knowing about it.

Yeah and PD confuses the hell out of me whenever he steals someone's avatar.

Yes, I'm trying to stick with the Johnny Five avatar too

When I first started posting on GAF, lots of peole would know my posts by the Elisha Cuthber avatar I used to sport

kinda. If I like or dislike what I'm reading, then I make sure to remember the username. But yeah, some people sport the same avatar forever and after that it's kinda hard to go back.

I used to have quite a few different avatars, but I'm probably going to stick to this one since I never seem to get tired of it.

For the most, unless I don't recognize the avatar, then I'll look to see who it is. PD is the main reason for this. :P

Yeah, but mostly by names, so it kills me when people change theirs.

I only know you as the "Lenny avatar guy"

No, study them by their posting style, so you can identify future alt accounts

Yes, except for demi. He always has Nick Frost in his avatars.

I could never keep track of PD and Himuro.  Those guys change their avatars like every week it seems.

Which you shouldn't, btw.  Keeping a steady av > switching it up.  (unless there's a theme like w/ demi)
Title: Re: Do you recognize posters by their avatars?
Post by: brawndolicious on March 29, 2008, 07:08:04 PM
I have avatars turned off but people probably change them too much for me to keep track.
Title: Re: Do you recognize posters by their avatars?
Post by: Candyflip on March 29, 2008, 07:10:16 PM
On GAF I did, but since the amount of regular posters here is so much less I really don't anymore.
Title: Re: Do you recognize posters by their avatars?
Post by: CajoleJuice on March 29, 2008, 07:10:48 PM
Who is that in your av anyway, Candy? It is so awesome. :lol
Title: Re: Do you recognize posters by their avatars?
Post by: T234 on March 29, 2008, 07:11:30 PM
I was wondering that too.

It's the lead singer from MCR

Yeah, what demi said. I don't even know what the context of the picture was. All I know is every time I see it I feel like breaking his jaw and laughing at the same time. Especially when he starts shaking his head at the end :lol

Only if it's a threesome with Simon Pegg.

I still remember Candyflip's old av :lol
Title: Re: Do you recognize posters by their avatars?
Post by: Madrun Badrun on March 29, 2008, 08:30:11 PM
Yes.  I will never change my avatar.  Unless I could get a similar one but with a wombat instead.

Post by: Powerslave on March 29, 2008, 08:39:17 PM
No, I recognize everyone by their username.
Title: Re: Do you recognize posters by their avatars?
Post by: pilonv1 on March 30, 2008, 12:43:27 AM
I recognise old people by usernames, but I filter out new posters by their avatar. Anything animu/nintendo/MGS is instantly ignored.
Title: Re: Do you recognize posters by their avatars?
Post by: hyp on March 30, 2008, 06:02:51 AM
username mostly.  but it throws me off when someone's had an avatar for most of the year and switches it up outta nowhere.  maf is a whole 'nother story though.

I'm pretty sure people recognize me by the trail of corpses I leave in my wake.

PD's new avatar is a bit of a mindfuck for me... I keep thinking it's a Cajole post when I see it...
Title: Re: Do you recognize posters by their avatars?
Post by: Darunia on March 30, 2008, 01:59:38 PM
Add Uncharted to the list too.

T234, I keep thinking you are a PD and, PD, I keep thinking you are Cajole.  Man you guys are messing with my mind.
Title: Re: Do you recognize posters by their avatars?
Post by: CajoleJuice on March 31, 2008, 01:24:09 AM
PD is a shithead. T234 only is doing that in response to PD.

FINALLY SOMEBODY SEES IT

Also, cajole, who is that in your avatar? It doesn't look like Ms. Belmont.

Of course it is!

On GAF I do, for those who have been around a while and don't often change their avatars.

Here, notsomuch, because you guys seem to change 'em too much.

As for me, well, I've had the exact same damn avatar for 8 years, except for a four-month stint when I had my MRAF avatar.

Heh, good way of dealing with idiots. Add Uncharted to the list too.

Killzone is probably a bit higher on the list than Uncharted but still accurate.
