Subject: Avatars and Members

Well what I'm asking is if you look at a certain avatar, do you think of a member who usually has that avatar? For example, everytime I look at that avatar with Seargant Johnson comic style pointing, ICEMAN ASSASS1N always comes to my mind. How about you?

Skillet was here and referred to himself in the third person.

Yes, many times. Especially in my groups. Like whenever I see the crouchng Hunter..I think of natedogr.

Or when I see the fist with the lightning bolt..I think of Zee JollyRoger and X 10000 Fists X.

BobBQ and Ghandi. They don't post next to each other often, but when they do it's hella-confusing!

Jeff McRae and Can O Whoop Az, oddly enough. I'm used to seeing his avatar in groups then Cans one on the main forum.

I do that a lot, that is why I picked an avatar that is rarely used by members.

I'm easily confused by the avatar a member is using. If they have the same avatar and phrase their sentences the same, basically, it gets real hard figuring out who it is. Of course, until you look at their name.

I've had that problem. It gets to the point where I assume that person is who I'm thinking of, realize they aren't typing the way they normally do, then find out that it's actually someone else with the same avatar.

Everytime I see the Elite going crazy with the sword I assume it is Delta Archer...and his blasted arrows...grrr....

We are one. You will be grammatized. Resistance is futile.

I won't say for certain that it's the same two that I was thinking of... but I know what you mean.

We should do something about that.

I think the easiest way to rectify that would be to change their avatars. Maybe you'd even want to change them to something no-one else could choose...

(10:19:49 PM) Scruss: oh and pezza, i saw what you did to that cat
(10:20:17 PM) Pezza: You were the one with the video camera breathing heavily. Of course you saw.

Yeah. Whenever I see Butane i always expect to see the Marathon Icon he had, whenever i see God Phrophet I expect to see his. Hopefully you all expect to know who I am when you see my Icon..


Yes Spartakus..

It sucks when gamerzgirl and ferret post chatting with one another. Sometimes ferret says something very drastic and gamerzgirl does an action like *punches* or something like that. Yea, I mix them two up a bunch. And same with JAVA and other people that have that avater. That was a run on sentece if I ever saw one.

Defidently. Crouching Hunter brings natedogr to mind, blue Elite brings Skillet to mind, Hand with lightning bolt brings Zee, 10000 Fists, and m00z to mind, the floating Spartan brings ferret to mind, and the flood brings JAVA to mind. I hate it when someone who I haven't seen much before has any of those avatars from above. I get so confused!

I'm guilty of it too.

I've found myself easily confused in some threads when two members with similar phrasing and identical avatars were responding to each other.

It can get confusing.... but then I stop looking at the picture and look at the name instead.

Thats why emblems were created, but sadly mine is gone now, so I look like everyone else in the forums.../cry

Yeah, you and mabian...wait, what? recon and tgp?! wtf?!!

I hate it because i'll confuse myself with anyone else who uses my avatar...every time. I'll look and think "hey, i don't talk like that!" and see it isn't me.

This makes me very compelled to make my gt pic my avatar (because i've never seen anyone else use it), but i also like my current one...the hardships of life.

when I see your avatar I don't think of you.

I think of someone clsoe to you, and a little older.
