    Default When people change their Avatars...

    Uhhhh... this may have been done before. If it has then --->

    Just curious. What do you think when people change their Avatars? For me... it's all wierd! I end up associating some Members on here with their Avatars for sure.

    Like... recently, Bipper changed his Avatar and, for me at least, Bipper just didn't 'go' anymore But he changed it back. Yay! Bipper suddenly 'goed' again! And everyone's favourite Norwegian Levian recently fooled around with a bunch of Avatars, all of which didn't suit him, until finally he changed back to Wakka. And, Yay again! Levian 'became' Levian once more!

    Sooooo, uhhh... yeah! It's kinda strange for me when people flick between Avatars. What do ya think?

    It depends how frequently that person has avatar changes. If it's change to a long-term avatar then it can be upsetting; no doubt I would have gotten used to the avatar being with that member, and I'm not too good with change. On the other hand, should a person change his or her avatar every couple of days or so, I won't fuss about it. Not enough time for that avatar to work its way into my heart.

    I change mine eveytime I change my sig, which is normally every couple of weeks. Sometimes shorter. It doesn't bother me when people do this. But when someone whose had the same one for a long time changes it, it just doesn't feel right. I get used to it pretty quickly, but there's always a time period of "I DUN NO U!1!"

    I'm constantly changing my Avatar/Signature setup. I just can't find one that I'm willing to keep permanently. I did have a nifty elf sprite theme from FF1, but I got bored of that in 2004.

    I might resurrect it for a while, just for nostalgia's sake.

    My avatar and sig represents for me my mood so if i wanna mark smth new on my life i make new sigs and avatar! When I'm down I make more gothic style... Perhaps people think I'm crazy for doing that so i don't reall mind when people change their avatar or sigs!

    I don't mind too much so long as they don't change their username. Now that is annoying.

    Someone here had been paying close attention on Levian and Bipper.

    What's worse is when long time and well known members change their name to something seriously inferior and no where near as memorable. Like say something along the lines of a spoonerism for Batman for example.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    I change my avatar and sig all the time. I like to think my name is enough for people to go by to remember me.

    It depends on which member it is, when it really comes down to it. I couldn't care less for most members.
