Avatar holdouts: going to stick to your guns or eventually get one?

All who view Galactus see only what they can see. Some beings are more perceptive than others.

Northern_Piper, can there be only one? Highlander reference

Pretty much exactly where I sit. I never opposed them back in the day, never argued for them. For me they neither add nor subtract value. I simply don’t care and too date can’t be bothered. That might change tomorrow. Or, I dunno, maybe in 2023.

No avatar. Get off my lawn!

Howzabout this?

No need to be an S about it.

I had no opinion on the old board–those who used them, that was great; those of us who didn’t, no problem.

But here on Discourse, I find them handy. The “Recent Posts” on the main page shows the avatars, and I can recognize them, making it easier to follow particular posters. Plus, it’s interesting to see how posters choose to portray themselves.

What’s yours?

That’s a great one! Good work!

@BippityBoppityBoo

Did you just change yours?

I could never understand people that thought avatars were going to be huge animated gifs. Admittedly, I don’t read many message boards but I never saw one with avatars that were anything but like we have here. The flashing gifs seemed to be reserved for signatures only.

It’s funny to see how many were against them in those threads that have an avatar next to their names.

There’s a 2 click rule on this board for a reason!

How would that happen? If 10 people have different Star Trek avatars is that cliquish?

How about Northern Mosquito? We can all vote for our favorite.

Froot loops versus a cosmic entity that drains planets of their energy, destroying all life. Hmmm.

Eh, why not. Thing is though that’s evil mummy Tamerlane, the ancient curse of Russia. Seems a bit harsh for a bloodthirsty warlord.

Maybe a happy cartoon kitten…:wink:?

The avatars have been fairly modest. The trouble now are the motion emojis and large photos people (somehow) post. Also posts with no information or even no words at all, just a photo or YouTube link.

It’s an Avatar

Yes. Sharp of you to notice. Long story of why. I’m a woman of mystery.

Pretty sure that’s the same thing.

Google last airbender if you are curious.

Of course, I should have recognized that! Totally looked at it wrong.

It is. It came from a thread in which we were supposed to give a description of our Board names. I hadn’t thought about it before, just that I’m nuts about cars. But then I had inspiration that carnuts are those little bits of cereal and other foods that fall to the floor of cars, especially cars with tiny human passengers. Therefore, Froot Loops.

I thought it was a herpes molecule.

I’m not sure this is the compliment you may think it is…

No, no! It’s a hummingbird with a bizarre skeleton wing! I just can’t see it any other way! :rofl:

Bingo! :rofl:

Oh my! :joy: :rofl: :joy:

needscoffee’s avatar seems to show that needscoffee already has coffee. Isn’t that a bit oxymoronic? :slight_smile:

(Maybe the username should be needsmorecoffee? One can never have too much coffee!)
