With the large recent and upcoming influx of new members (and many quality posters too), I'd just like to point out that it's a bit hard to discern all the new folks from each other. It's a lot easier to remember who the person is if you have an image to connect with the post.

Go to your control panels and set up your sexy brand-new avatars - today!

I agree, especially for members who have similar names. I immediately identify a user's personality with their avatar.

That's no good, considering who me and El Mech have as avatars...

Your avatars change over time - so people don't get too attached to them

I need to either do this very soon or just hope that bacon stops posting....

I consider the avatar to be a bigger part of a poster's identity than their post count or rep points. So definitely pick a memorable one, newcomers!

Not to sound like 'the teacher's pet', but Roosh's avatar is genius lol. Did he come up with that logo by himself? Should trademark it and make t-shirts.

Actually the logo was for an Uncle Roosh t-shirt: /thread-8064-post-118610.html

I didn't promote it well and it didn't sell. But I kept the logo for everything else. It was designed by a British guy.

Get El Mech to promote if. Ghetto FL bitches will have it on the back of their jeans in no time.

Maybe you could allow a little larger avatars? 200x300px?

Post: #18

I actually wanted to change my avatar. I didn't though because I always get confused when someone has the same avatar for so long and then they change it. It's like they are a whole different person. I don't even know them anymore.

I've had a few members tell me that they though that I was black. Most people probably assume I am because of my av. It's a powerful thing. Even had someone post a picture of The Rock in the "what do you think forum members look like?" thread, which is about polar opposites of how I actually look lol.

Would probably stretch the web page a bit. I think 100x100 is optimal for forums and viewing.

I would be happy if it could auto-resize any size pic to Avatar size.

I liked it when Ali and el mech both had bird avatars.

Post: #23

Thanks for the reminder!

I never heard the word "avatar" until I joined this forum. I thought "Avatar" was a movie.

My avatar is that fact that I don't have one.

Should I get one or should I just remain the "no avatar guy"???

I think it might be time for a change!
