It makes me laugh. I think it gives you a softer side.

i certainly notice them but they don't have any conscious effect on how i view posters. that could be b/c i spend of my time in the strat forums though.

It took me a super long time to realize what that dcasper's avatar was flipping us off because it was so small.

I usually get pretty polarized comments about my avatar. People either seem to love it or hate it. I don't think it says anything about me other than that I have great taste in movies.

Charlie, I liked you before, of course, but the fact you're using an image from my favorite film of all-time just put you into man-crush territory. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I had to rake through adblock to see tuq's avatar, no wonder I blocked that. Terrible avatar.

I think people with hot girls are unimaginative or something, at least the ones that just look like pictures taken straight off a model's website. If it's not totally airbrushed or classically posed it's usually alright though. The ones with total plastic girls make me kind of wonder.

There is also the group who have Emma Watson avatars, I generally just flag them as virgins.

Anything with a really bad aspect ratio instantly makes me think the poster is a dip[censored], as do avatars that are just some random crap or are badly shopped.

I'm pretty superficial when it comes to avatars.

I wish long-term posters wouldn't change their avatars. Slight alterations (such as Christmas time) are ok.

Other than that, I have no thoughts on avatar/traits correlations.

I hate it when people change Avatars. I find random names much harder to remember. The combination of name and image allows me to keep track of people.
Kimbell175113 yes I recognised him though I couldn’t be entirely sure.
ifoughtpiranhas yes I'm sure all the British posters recognize Private Walker even if they can’t remember his name they remember him as the spiv. Id keep it, it represents a wide boy with a sense of humour.
Kdawg your cat with bear bottles is a prime example of my inability to separate posters from their Avatars. Every time I read your posts I’m expecting the cynicism and apathy of Boondocksaint who mods a Politics forum and used that image for a long time.
The only Avatars that I really hate are the very fast moving animated ones especially if they flash. I just don’t read what that poster has to say they give me a headache.
