Come Now, It's Really the Proper Thing to Do...

[sparroa]

I just don't think it is relevant to have an avatar featuring your person... An avatar helps for name recall, but that is about it.

Sweet god we have some paranoid members. :lol:

I also agree that the main thing is the information shared and conversation. However it does help to become familiar with someone if there is some kind of personalized image is used. Whether it is a pic of the person or their favorite pipe, or something that reflects their personality is not important to me personally.

I choose to remain somewhat anonymous (is that like saying "very unique?) because I have a reputation to hide.

Mine is of Money, and it most resembles the true me.

My best pictures are when I'm annoyed. I just share those moments with the rest.

Some who do not have their pictures in their avatars have shared their photos in one of these threads -
1. Post Your Picture With a Pipe
2. A Photo of You
3. Photos of You

I just spotted @rothnh on the street—snapped a picture for you all, his avatar is accurate after all!
(just teasing rothnh!)

 

[schmitzbitz]

sometimes I don't always have a photo of myself, other times I do...and sometimes I put photos of my son like my current avatar is...
I wish I can take a pic of my butt so you all can kiss my ass [:rofl:]

You mean you're NOT Spiderman? *mind-blown*

Hey, it's all about what each of us want and feel comfortable with.

Yep, I do agree — hence my avatar! ::

I'm not paranoid. Just ugly.

 

[wagnon85]

My avatar IS me! Only thing is I am covered in a Boba Fett costume! But that is me underneath! hehe

 

[cigrmaster]

I think that everyone should show their face with their home address so that way if you piss me off I can track you down. :nana:

Uploaded an avatar of my beautiful bald head for you!

 

[johnny]

I didn't think I was that ugly! :nana:

 

[captainsousie]

I should change mine to "I am The Stig's fat American cousin" but I'm too lazy.

I try not to let who is saying something effect how I interpret the information. All opinions should be given equal weight. This is why I don't want people to know if I'm a 20 year old black female or a 89 year old white Chinese man. Keeps the playing field balanced, in my opinion anyway

"I don't always use an image of myself in my avatar.
But when I do it's Robert Conrad."

Since St Patty's Day is over I have said goodbye to the pipe smoking leprechaun and replaced it with a pipe smoking bunny. I'm so cute I make myself want to puke.
