Do you use an avatar?

Do you use an avatar? If so, did you use it cos you saw someone else using it?

Dinner · 26-05-2005 3:49pm

Why yes, yes i do. I didnt for a long time, then I had a look and picked the one I have now.

Adam · 26-05-2005 3:49pm

No, I used mine because I like it.

bringitdown · 26-05-2005 3:49pm

I made my own*

Squirrel · 26-05-2005 3:50pm

I use mine because it seemed like a good idea at the time, and it's different to a squirrel

Maximilian · 26-05-2005 3:54pm

Is this not the most pointless poll ever?

Dr.Feelgood · 26-05-2005 3:55pm

I put a fly in your avatar wedding cake

Although i'll probably end up with one someday

Dades · 26-05-2005 4:00pm

Unlike Squirrel, I use mine because it fits nicely with my name...

Sherifu · 26-05-2005 4:00pm

I don't use one at all...

I'm a compulsive liar

How do you use custom avatars?

Crucifix · 26-05-2005 4:03pm

I picked mine because it's a star wars lego forest stormtrooper, and because at the time I hadn't seen anyone else using it.

Poo.

yossarin · 26-05-2005 4:20pm

i could never think of one that suited me.
off the subject: how do you subscribe if you're in england and can't transfer money? I feel i owe boards about 200 squid by now.

Feenikusu · 26-05-2005 4:21pm

I have an avatar, don't know why.

Blisterman · 26-05-2005 4:27pm

I picked mine because I dont think aanyone else had that.
Sig Pics are much better.

Shabadu · 26-05-2005 4:31pm

< Mine's David Bowie. Smoking. Literally and figuratively.

Bejasus! There are LOADS to choose from! Go get yourself one now.

Goodshape · 26-05-2005 4:39pm

Custom avatar of Michelangelo.. you can see a bigger-sized version of the same in my profile.

Before subscribing I was using the boards.ie Michelangelo.. but this new ones far more bad-ass.

Picked the Turtles because it's the first TV show I was ever 'in to', picked Michelangelo (despite the well known fact that Donatello was the best) because my name's Michael.

Matthewthebig · 26-05-2005 4:39pm

I picked Bob because he looks big as he is a dinosaur

and afaik i've only seen one more person with it and they don't post regulary

they probably ripped off me as i was here first

Hester · 26-05-2005 4:42pm

Mine's the closest I could find to resemble Hester the hare (from His Dark Materials). Haven't seen anyone else with it yet...

_blank_ · 26-05-2005 4:53pm

@ TheAtheist.

Dude, that's my avatar.

His Dark Materials ROCK.

Was Hester the Texans daemon?

penguinbloke · 26-05-2005 4:56pm

I had the penguin from batman but I got bored with it so I changed to this one because I hadn't seen anyone use it for a while.

It has been popping up a bit recently though...

Creamy Goodness · 26-05-2005 4:56pm

yes i use one and it's the same one since i signed up 2001.

He is ALL of our avatars... :eek:

Nevyn · 26-05-2005 5:03pm

My Nick is an anagram of Death,
and the avatar is Death one of the endless from the Dreaming.

it all makes sense now!

That's right

It gets so confusing when people have the same avatar. I begin to think of them as the same person

It's not a forest stormtrooper. They are called scout troopers.

Chong · 26-05-2005 5:10pm

I dont think anyone else on boards uses my avatar.

Raphael · 26-05-2005 5:15pm

When I first registered I had the nick Jaffer, and Wally as an avatar. Then I got a name change to Raphael, and decided to change the av. The turtle fitted the name.

Surely that would be the most pointless poll ever?

PurpleFistMixer · 26-05-2005 5:46pm

I like gir.
It matches my sig.

Why would somebody pick an avatar because someone else had it?

rugbug86 · 26-05-2005 5:48pm

i don't use one...

Oh wait...

it sucks when ya see someone else with the same one posting in the same thread, ya think its yersmelf!

DonkeyStyle \o/ · 26-05-2005 5:57pm

I stole horsefumblers avatar.
And I do it again.

Crash · 26-05-2005 5:58pm

I've had this one for over 3 years now i think.

*shakes fist at slydice and fuzzylogic for using the same one.

Matthewthebig · 26-05-2005 6:25pm

petals · 26-05-2005 6:27pm

I use mine cos I like tigger

Nightwish · 26-05-2005 9:05pm

i picked mine cos its the best out of a bad lot of crosses available...wish i could customise it

tSubh Dearg · 26-05-2005 9:20pm

I picked mine because in my head I look just like Jessica Rabbit. *ahem*

I was the only one using it at that time too (that I had seen) and now there are a couple floating around.
