CloseI thought it might be interesting to have people's view on avatars : is it a representation of the person, something or someone he or she likes, does it deliver a message? what is a "good" avatar according to each, how important one's avatar is for each one. Its actually one of the rare means of uncovering some side of ourselves on any site.
As for me, I swtiched to somethihg that represented sides of myself, to some one who's really important for me, to anonymity. There's also the aesthetic side of an avatar, well, how do You choose your avatar ?

It's generally just something I like. But yeah, some people's avatar choices are very telling. Although, not having an avatar at all makes it harder to remember who you are. :(
There is nothing cooler than Breath of Fire III Ryu in Final Fantasy 3/6 sprite style. Not even sliced bread.

People who switch their avatar too often annoy me. Anything more often than 6 months confuses me for a while, really. And I honestly can't remember why I chose this one. It's art form an incomplete project, the character being an asshole raven.

I just like to choose something that shows some imagination. I think it suits being a member of a creative community. Can't remember a time I used an avatar that had anything to do with rpgs or gaming though.

In this community. I don't know
In a lot of others it seems that avatars really show you who the trolls are.

When I see someone with an "arrogant little shit" type avatar (sneering and the sort), I have a hard time taking what they say as anything worth reading, because unfortunately, that's most frequently true. No other avatar seems to give me any sort of impression like this, though I do appreciate unusual, artistic or inspiring graphics or animations.
Usually I go for avatars that focus around the account, such as a face graphic for any clear names. It has been far too long since I've had to worry about any other choices as I've used nothing but accounts like these in forums for years.

I really like to pick avatars that are weird or cool faces.

I totally have an arrogant little shit avatar that is sneering at you right now. It's really amusing to think that by the same logic when the above was my avatar, everything I said might have come off as drunk out of my mind XD

Serious post: I usually pick an avatar related to what I'm really into at the time, be it a band, game or TV show. Otherwise it's just something cool/hipster like my current one.
I've been watching Community a lot lately so I'm probably going for an avatar change soon. Stay tuned

My avatars (before this current one) were all drawn by myself back in the day. I changed it pretty frequently, but they were all in the same style, so people didn't get confused (I hope). Not that I really post enough for people to recognize me by avatar anyway.
Here's to you, Living War Machine! Avatars change, but may you always haunt this thread.

I'm posting to see what my avatar is.
I'm also not a fan of changing avatars often. I think mine is a Chinese Telephone album cover. I like avatars that are distinct from other avatars. Usually the person's personality take over the avatar anyways, so it almost doesn't matter what it is.
Would rather people define themselves by what they say, not their avatar.

This. And

I can never find an avatar I like. I feel like having no avatar would suit me best sometimes.
I usually try to choose an avatar that represents myself and nothing else. So it´s usually me, something I made, or something I heavily edited.
I'm getting sick of my current one though.
