Why doesn't everybody have an avatar

MooseJam

There's loads of you that don't have an avatar, there's no excuse for this other than laziness , it's a very handy thing and can make identifying posters very simple so any of you that don't have one this is your chance to rectify the situation !

ironictoaster

I do have one, It never loads for some reason.

Owen

Just couldn't be arsed really.

Who cares, its not important.

GrumPy

Karl Hungus

I don't see why it's important.

Until there are two or three or ten people with the same one.

It's a genetic condition I have. You wouldn't understand.

Tigrrrr

where are the avatars?

_blank_

I have a special one that nobody else has.

Steoob

me too

Black Swan

Unless you import a unique one, many of the existing choices are blah. There are also duplications by members of those available, so the uniqueness is lost. A close friend on boards did my sig pic (after being resurrected from a site ban), I thought it fun, so I adopted it. Perhaps if the importation process for avatars was made easier, more members would use them?

Custom for the win.

I identify a lot of posters by their avatar, i also like to believe that some people look like their avatars.

Avatars are great for arbitrarily deciding the gender of any given poster

Ruu_Old

I used to have the small sonic one when I first joined and noticed one other user with it so when I subscribed, I got a larger sonic one and a few months ago changed over to Miles.

I merely sound like my avatar

Piste

I've grown pretty attatched to my avatar, couldn't imagine any other! Apprently I look like it too. I wonder if it's the online equivalent of owners looking like their pets?

I do indeed look like a mushroom dreaming of becoming another mushroom.

RobertFoster

I didn't want to step on anyone's toes when signing up by having the same avatar. I don't think I've visited the avatar page since.

eirebhoy

I got mine in a lucky dip.

Why doesn't everyone have teh aides? I guess because they just don't want them!!!!

i like to think i do... but mainly because a childhood accident has left me with an oddly angular head.

Hagar

I had to upload a custom one because at least one other user is using the standard Hagar avatar. It caught me on the hop once or twice seeing the Hagar avatar and a post made by someone else.

Volvoboy

Real name is a abbreviation of said cartoon man in avatar.

Tar.Aldarion

I am a hot anime girl, that is why I have that avatar.
Some people don't look like any of the stock avatars so can't pick one. I guess they are just unlucky.

Sarky

I look absolutely nothing like mine.

Mr Magnolia

Don't look like mine either.

wot this thread is still going, I'm just back from watching Transformers and it KICKED ASS, Optimus Prime rocked my world, if you haven't seen this film make plans to do so..... Autobots Transform !

WindSock

Yes, I like to think everyone looks like their avatars too. Thats why I'm a bit apprehensive about meeting anyone, I'm afraid I'd be disappointed. Mind you, I don't really look like mine, but I could...
