What do Avatars mean to you?

[The Last Conformist]

Inspired by Marla's, you should have the British and Danish flags flying behind Den lille Havfrue!

Me and photoshop don't make a perfect match.

 

[Japher]

I have no use for Avatards...

Ask Lyonesse or Raijer. If you can supply a picture of Den Lille Havfrue, they can fix the avatar.

Here's what I consider to be one of my best works yet!

What do y'all think?

 

[Goober]

Not as good as the "Goober" one . . .

A close second . . .

 

[The Last Conformist]

One of the weaker Perfection avatars, IMNSHO.

Hmm, it kinda spoils the view of that lovely perfect pentagon.

 

[Perfection]

Critics, what do they know?

 

[The Last Conformist]

Everything, pretty much.

 

[Perfection]

Apparently not what a rhetorical question is.

A rhetorical question is a statement made in the form of a question, it is not meant to be answered.

 

[The Last Conformist]

Having knowledge does not imply acting on that knowledge.

But you should if you think the statement is wrong.

 

[Hamlet]

Rhetoric is usually garbage. It should be criticised as much as possible.

I just pick an avatar of something I think is cool. Actually, usually retro-cool. Thus, I used to have Doctor Who. This one is Captain Scarlet. On another forum I have The Prisoner.

But it's only 'cause I think it's cool.

I assume other people select theirs for the same reason. I don't ascribe much importance to them except as a small window into the posters mind.

I don't think I could have a female avatar though. Just seems wrong.

I got a new avatar. It's a bunch of money. It has to do with the fact that I want to be an investment banker.

 

[Perfection]

I hate you all

@Giotto, nice avatar

 

[polymath]

I find your avatar a bit too 'busy' nowadays, Perfection.

Is this thread still going?

I've been making loads of avatars recently, in Computer Help. Do people feel their avatar represents their personality, or goals, or is it just an asthetically appealing graphic with no value other than to excersise your right to use the allocated space?
