How do you identify CFC'ers?

[Godwynn]

When I read a user's post, I tell who wrote it by their avatar. Not a very good way to identify one since it changes, and when it does, I get thrown all off track. So when you all read a post, do you know who wrote it by their username or their avatar?

If you go by the avatar, remember which users used these? (Or something close to it) [Sorry if I did not choose your avatar, these are the three I remember best]

 

[Tomoyo]

In OT, I do it by the username. In the civ section, I do it by avatar.

 

[Colonel]

a sort of combination of both, For instance numerous OTers never or rarely change their avatars so I dont have to bother with looking as they are very reconisable,

 

[Bacon King]

I always go by avatars, and it throws me off track when someone who's had the same avatar for a long time changes theirs.

The bottom image was newfangle's avatar, right?

 

[Birdjaguar]

I rely on avatars and when regulars change theirs I get confused. But maybe it's my rush to senility that is the problem.

One down, two to go.

Good job!

If you go by the avatar, remember which users used these?

Al Bundy = rmsharpe
worker type thing = newfangle
hayek = luiz or a fellow south american `libertarian`?

You sir have a wonderful memory. Don't lose your mind, it will come in handy when trying to remember those anniversaries and birthdays.

Why, I even remember your former Lady Liberty avatar, I think.

Unless that was somebody else.

The one I have now? Or the one with the American flag with it?

Avatars. It always trips me up when somebody changes avatars, or when two different people at two different forums I frequent use the same avatar.

 

[Louis XXIV]

I always recognize people by their avatar, since its easier to do by a glance. If someone has a different avatar or the same avatar as someone else, the content of the post will usally raise some flags so I look at the user name to be sure.

The picture with a superimposed American flag. Though I must say I find the stylized version better.

 

[Gr3yL3gion]

I remember it by username, because most people can't change it anyway.

Do you remember my first custom avatar? Hell, even I don't.

 

[pboily]

Memory is a funny thing. I remember useless avatar crap but I lock myself out of my office at least twice a week.

 

[Yom]

I just couldn't remember the second one (not Newfangle's, but Hayek, the second picture). I think I wasn't active when luiz used it, because I always remember him having a Rasputin avatar.

I use the avatar for quick recognition (since a general image is easier to recognize than a word or name). If I see an unfamiliar avatar, I'm forced to actually read the name (as opposed to unconsciously reading it when I see the familiar avatar).

 

[vbraun]

By avatar of course.

I'm hoping that I won't change my avatar. (You never know, I could get reallt bored one day.)

 

[blindside]

I remember the old avatar newfangle had with his marijuana leaf and all those rainbow colors.

 

[bad_ronald]

Wow, I haven't even been here that long, and when I saw the picture of Al Bundy, I thought to myself: it was probably rmsharpe .

Oh, I go by avatars.
