Why did you choose your Avatar.

Mine was because I wanted to portray a certain image. A self-deprecating curmudgeon. Who's not really like that underneath it all.

Oh and a Celtic supporter.

Mine was because I wanted people to stop calling me Barbara, so I wanted to come across as being a double-hard bastard. :dabs:

i stole ziggys idea of putting my currently listening to album as my avatar, and got bored after half a turn

I can't, however if you could chose what would you have in it.

Perhaps you're someone who won't stick with the same thing. Chebus changes his on a regular basis.

Mine just popped into my head. I try to change it often as the mood suits :dabs:

I honestly have no clue. Probably was drunk at the time.

Would you tend to go for a particular type, is there a (loose) theme to what you choose. Or is it just a "whatever I see which takes my fancy" thing.

I find that I tend to ignore people with video game character avatars more.

I guess it's because I associate those types of avatars with lolboys.

That makes sense, however it is at a conscious decision level.

Do you think you are efected by the persons avatar being jokey, aggresive, silly etc at a subconscious level.

I have no idea. I'll need to meditate on that for a while, to access my subconscious.

You tend to go for things which will have either no efect or a positive, happy type feeling to them. Do you do this deliberately for the effect it is likely to have on people. The impression you will make, as it were.

I watched Saphire and Steel first time round. It was cutting edge Sci Fantasy at that time.

I also watched Blake's 7 first time round. It was UK Star Trek, with no budget.

I do remember watching saphire and steel but vaugley, I also remember blake 7 in the same catorgory. They did repeat the whole series of blake 7 on UK gold a while back so i watched a lot of them again. I used to have some of the blake 7 stuff as an avatar not so long back.

Ah how I miss them ,

I thought that was someone singing, but holding the mic a la Freddie Mercury.

I chose mine very shortly after becoming a moderator, because it fit with the whole idea of "moderators' secret powers" and such.

I've often considered changing it since resigning from my duties as moderator, but I think now it's become quite synonymous with my identity here on the board. I use a different variation of Wonder Woman avatar on most sites I belong/have belonged to for that reason.

EDIT: Whoa... I just read Barbie's reply in the other avatar thread. Freaky we used the same words. :o :ph34r:

I didn't choose mine, zed or doob did. :unsure:

Looks like me having a monged, fly catching moment anyhoo.

It has, you can't possibly change it, that would just be wrong.

I change mine whenever I find a cute kitty pic or gif. :lol:

I found your pic lilmiss way back when doob did his
"how do you picture a certain member" thread...Took me awhile to find the right Sherly Temple pic.:D

Point taken. I'll leave it as is, as long as yours doesn't change either. Mr. Falk has become a board icon.

Agreed. Pinky Promise.

I've had three avatars, a drunken Simpsons knock-off, an ashtray full of butts and my current badge,which represents my desire to hide behind a facade of low self-esteem.

All self-deprecating. I truly hope that this does not reflect how you really feel.

I don't have one. =/

Indeed, then the question becomes - why did you pick the name.
