Yeh some avatars really annoy me. Especially ones that have sci-fi characters in. I mean how childish is that?

im not fond of animated avatars that catch the eye, and yes you do seem to distinguish a person by the avatar in posts often.
cant remember why i added one, is just a whisp of smoke, think i felt i needed a mark, maybe i should get a new one!

aye the very ones, and then multiply that by X due to all the other people posting that have them too and you get a sore head fast.

stoo - are you Zorro?
the DPM tarp in mine has a stooboy beneath it and the other is me - this was taken about 10mins before PC "Move along lads" turned up and ruined our planned brekkie. Just liked the sunlight in the cold.

I don't mind that at all. I think mine was too animated though. G4ghbs is far more subtle.
I find people more quickly by scanning the avatars than reading usernames...Kind of instant recognition
I think we ought to have Avatar badges at the Moot for folks
Only the Mods got them last year and they were pretty small.
cheers,

Until this post i hadnt sorted out my avatar, its of me sitting at the world scout jamboree in chelmsford in my leather hat, and i love it.
I Like G4ghb's and toddys as i instantly know who it is. Some sites that allow HUGE signitures and flashing avatars give me a head ache, here its far more pleasant.

I like to think that my beard looks better in real life and I don't look like a cross between ZZ Top and Gimli

I think they are good way of recognizing and remembering people on line. Maybe we should get some t shirts printed up for the Moot with avatar and user name on the front?Then a first timer like me might have a chance of knowing who's who.
Mine is of me in Norway (in august) quite high up and remote, just on the way back from the top of europes highest waterfall.

Like others have said, I often look at the avatar before the user name, and frequently recognise the poster.
Mine is currently the first "bushy" thing I made...a pot hanger, following the instructions from Uncle Ray's book, whilst camping with the kids on the edge of Windermere (on Fathers Day).
Brings back happy memories

When i joined i had a picture of me in full combat gear with my AK. it didn't go down well... still the mods were understanding and now i have my ol guitar avatar, ripped off from a comic strip about the game portal from penny arcade
Been there and done that. Thought this was a hunting site when first posting but soon got put right. That and being made aware the use of an upper case signature is "shouting".
Cheers
