Has anybody changed their avatar recently...
Edited on Thu Dec-16-04 10:44 PM by Longgrain
I've been thinking of changing my own...

Has anyone else tried a "new Look" recently...

As a visual artist I tend to notice images more often than not. When I see a user that I know with a new avatar, I tend to notice...

No reason, just curious...

3. I'm just interested as to why...
You can trust me...I see some poster's avatar image and I think I recognize them...but then I read the name and realize I'm not talking to the person I thought I was talking to?

Is this a common problem?

4. If you are a visual thinker
then that seems right. I often have that problem, with a few exceptions.

26. I haven't been able

6. I'm keeping my avatar...
the upside down flag, in protest of vote fraud, at least until after the inaugural.

But I'm interested in an individualized one, one that would display my artistic side.

(BTW awesome pics down there in the photo group:thumbsup: )

7. in the spirit of the holidays, i changed mine tonight
now it's cindy lou who from the Grinch, isn't she just the cutest? i love to make a change every now and then, it is kind of freeing :)

i am very visual myself, i love to see what people use as their avatars and what they change them to.

Sorry for the false alarm!

Someone else started using an Eye of Horus. It was no longer unique.

(No offence to the person using the Eye. It was just my signature symbol and didn't feel the same with others using it.)

I'll find something else unique soon.

20. I don't think I will ever change my avatar.
I've learned not to say "never" but I love my Joe Strummer picture and I don't see me changing it soon.

24. I did! I did!
The news is so depressing, and I still see my country as being in distress, but I desperately needed a pick-me-up. Something to make me smile again. George fits the bill. :-)

27. Nope, not me.
At this point it looks like the Bucs won't make it to the playoffs but I'll keep the avatar till the season is over anyway.
