Why do some people change their avatar so much ? I noticed how it's hard to keep track who is easily identifiable as who nowadays. Some change their avatar every other few days !!

Well i used to change mine every few hours :D
I think people change them because;
A. They find something better
or
B. They get bored with their avatar quickly.
You've only changed you avatar once, right Leon?

i didn't really 'change' mine... i enhanced it or rather; i put the enhancement mailed to me (thanks Kvan) in it's place..

i think it brings a sense of familiarity if you stick to a certain avatar. Already i'm associating Rhett with smoking pot.. :D

Is that what yoda is smokin'? :D
I do associate people with certain avatars, but I like changing mine a lot cause I got bored easly with the ones I use :)
I hate it when people use an avatar that someone else used. That can get confusing (i know all I have to do is look at their name)

I've only used three in my short time here...the default TIE Defender....then two versions of a Gand. The one I'm using now is pretty cool, huh Kvan? ;)

Leon, are you planning on changing yours soon? You've had that avatar for long time...

Hehe.... just what I've always wanted people to associate me with. :D

I don't think I'll ever be getting rid of this one. It will probably go through quite a few incarnations though... I'm really liking this latest one. ;)

i plan on holding on to this one for a while, yeah...
at least until the boards are really booming with life.
then it's total chaos anyway. :D
well, i guess i'll change it eventually, but н'm really looking for one that's a bit out-of-the-ordinary. So no 'typical icon hero' stuff.

Gamma I associate you with a Gand (maybe its just because I've been working with your RPG character) :)
For some reason When I think of Leon, I think of a giant pink head...odd...I think it's because of YD's smileys..

What about mine? I have had only two avatars since the launch of this site.

The first was said to scare some people because it looked like the devil.

The second one is basicly a new version:


he looks like he smashed a nintendo controler after dying 15 times at the same spot.

I gave Rommel a Plo Koon a while ago ... So now you look like Rommel (It's hard to look unique ... especially when we switch a lot)

Yeah, that's the avatar I associate Rommel with.

I've had 3 avatars since I've been here. First Star Wars card Thrawn, followed by the TIE Interceptor that Tie gave me, and finally my almighty clawcraft (which I like better than all my others).

Dare I ask what you guys associated me with? :sweat:



BTW If there was another avatar I used just mention it. :D

Could one you guys help me out. I'd like my clawcraft to be colored, but I don't want the shading messed up. A grey or grey/blue would be good. Please help. :D

Hmm, i've had a buch. I started out with the TIE X2 in the death star trench. Then i got the spinning TIE Int, then the defender. Then i changed mine in quick succession, when i started making my own. I had that RA2 one for a while, which i liked. Now i've go this A9, which i pretty cool i think, and i'll have it for a while.

BTW, you've had that avatar for so long, leon, that i'm beginning to think that that is what you actually look like. :D

I always associate Rommel with that Snowtrooper he had in the beginning:D

Why do some people change their avatar so much ? I noticed how it's hard to keep track who is easily identifiable as who nowadays. Some change their avatar every other few days !!

The only reason I change mine is because I'm advertising what avatars I have on my site:)
With that in mind go to my site...NOW!!!;)
