Subject: How often do you use avatars to recognize people?

KillaGod is my alternate Bungie.net account with my Gamertag linked to that account!

Ty92PrideFireZ is my new alternate account with my new and permanent Gamertag linked to that account.

I usually remember names, but sometimes I find myself recognizing members off from their avatars.

I use them all the time.

Why not add the .05 seconds it takes to read someones name to your reading of the post?
Why not burrito?

(~~)
I think it's because I'm not burrito.

Granted, by using the Mustasche Bomb I'd be forcing people to read my name. But I'd rather earn that by posting comments that are worth other users time. It must sound odd coming from me as I typically post one liners.

Original? No, but since it's so amusing to see you react to it, I see no reason not to do it every few months or so.

I always think it's me posting too. That's why I get a little feisty when other people use it, because I look in threads and can't recall making those posts or ever having entered that thread.
Same for me more or less.
I was looking at a thread with you two in The Gathering when this change happened. My mind physically exploded.

Nice avatar Mr EAKLE. I'll admit though that I get confused between our posts a lot because I mostly fail to forget seeing the name (this instance being the only exception). The other day I thought I was talking to myself and hence called a psychiatrist.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

I use it a lot, quickly glancing at an avatar is easier and quicker than reading a name for identification.

Anyone with the mustache bomb avatar is automatically burrito for me.

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

This guy. Whenever I see his avatar I just know it's him. Burrito usually has something neat to say about a subject.

Just yesterday some guy in the Halo: Reach forum was like, 'You know exactly who I am' and I said... 'No. I genuinely have no idea who you are.'

Because I don't know names. Ah well.

All the time.

That being said; if you share an avatar with someone I recognize as someone I hate, then I too will have a strong loathing feeling about you, and anything you post.

Most of the time I rely on avatars. Examples: burritosenior, Hylebos, teh puma, Obi Wan Stevobi, urk, and Achronos are all easy to spot.

I rely on them a lot too. Although I'm pretty good with names too.

  • 05.08.2012 8:49 PM PDT

Actually quite often here in the Community.

Let's just say if they weren't there, we would loose all hope of recognizing each other, not that it matters that much on Bungie. :D
You would still recognize admins by their text though.

I have returned from the Untamed Lands. MOAP is dead.

That feeling when you don't know if it's a recycled thread or if somebody bumped an old one.

I actually read posters' names so I don't need their avatar to recognize them.

  • 05.08.2012 9:35 PM PDT

Constantly.

This is why people who change avatars are terrible people.

More often than I do their names.
I always look at the avatar first. If I don't recognize it, then I look at the name.

  • 05.09.2012 6:36 AM PDT

I go mainly on names but when I'm looking for myself in a thread I look for my avatar because as far as I know I'm the only one with it.
