What are the most popular avatars on boards?

    Just something that popped into my fevered head a second ago, I see a lot of transformers around, and a lot of marilyn monroe's. What's the most popular? Is there a top five or something? Also does it confuse people when they see an avatar they identify with one poster being used by another? Sometimes I get confused. But then I'm confused a lot of the time. I'm going to take a nap and I expect responses when I come back. Chop chop AH! Friday night after NY's, you know you've nothing better to do. Oh my head is sore. And what's with the sciatica? My hamstrings are twitching. This is what real stream of consciousness looks like, Joyce was a bluffer. You all think I'm drunk now but I'm not, unless I'm still drunk from two nights ago and I don't think that's possible, or if it is I should be in hospital.

    Yeah the marilyn one is quite popular as is the cookie monster one. Speaking about avatars I'm tempted to go back to my cushion one, I alwats preferred that.

    So therefore its names that stand out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Holsten

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,213 ✭✭✭SoWatchaWant

    I just feel bad for posters who have been using non-personalised avatars for years and then some n00b comes along and takes it too. Sorry eoin_s, but I actually look like that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,008 ✭✭✭Bijoux


    A lot of Ariels / Little Mermaids too :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,031 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU

    Some poster had the same avatar as mine once.
    He's...
    Well he's gone now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,815 ✭✭✭✭galwayrush


    I never looked / noticed if i have one,i'm posting this to check.:pac:
    Edit, none, thought so.
    Am i correct in thinking you have to be a subscriber or a mod to have a personalised one?

    He was number 3 on that list of enemies I told you about.
    I'm only at number 35. It's been a long few months of abusing power.

    Yep, same here. I never remember anyone's name, I just go by their avatars :)


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 32,865 ✭✭✭✭MagicMarker


    I don't know which is most popular, but I do know which is the best.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,729 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    The Cartmans popular; so are the Mr. Men.

    You've been here 2 days. Give it time.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_


    i used to have a "far side" god avatar, but someone else nicked it, so I subscribed and now use my own unique one.

    which reminds me.

    time for the santy hat to go.

    I'd say your avatar's the most popular among the lady folk.

    Think i only saw it once on a new girl. She changed it :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,566 ✭✭✭✭Ghost Train


    mines quite ugly... I think thats why I don't know anyone else with it


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,641 ✭✭✭✭antodeco


    I like mine. Get a lot of comments on it!

    ChewChew has it! And I'm sure I've seen it on at least a couple other not-so-regular posters...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,716 ✭✭✭✭Earthhorse


    The Marilyn one seems to be popular with women alright. I guess a lot of them can identify with one of cinema's brightest icons.

    Despite my customised avatar I actually browse with them turned off; too confusing.

    Sweetie, you're a man of words. Will you review your thread title, it's making me twitch. You sure you're not drunk?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,165 ✭✭✭✭brianthebard


    Lolz what would you prefer as a title? I was feeling slightly delusional earlier, nap cleared that up a wee bit. Definitely not drunk though.

    I think she might be referring to the unnecessary possessive apostrophe you put in "avatar's". Maybe.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,183 ✭✭✭Peared


    I have become the thing I hate :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,716 ✭✭✭✭Earthhorse


    Well, at least you have a fairly original avatar.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,815 ✭✭✭✭galwayrush


    I can't put up a customised one.:confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,183 ✭✭✭Peared


    This is true. All is not lost.
