ashacat Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Accurately or otherwise, avatars always give me a mental idea of the personality/age etc. etc. of the poster who has chosen to adopt it as their graphic representation. So I would like to find out why people choose the avatars they do? Are they significant to you? For example, who is the bloke on Libyas avatar? Why is Bino a rat? Any significance to the mask cdnvik? So come on fess up, why did you choose your avatar? does it represent something about you/your life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdnvic Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 (edited) Any significance to the mask cdnvic? It's a mask from the Haida indian tribe who were native to the west coast islands here. The mask is apparently a "secret society mask" although I fail to see how wearing a special mask helps keep it a secret. But I assume they know what they were doing.

peter991 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Mine is to represent that I live in Australia - but my heart is in Thailand. Even Issan kids recognise the kangaroo (jing-joe). Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helicoptor Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 My Avatar is of one of my moggies, I caught him in this pose (mid self-grooming) as I was walking up the stairs with my camera as I was taking pictures around the house I lived in in the UK for rental purposes, he and his fat uncle are now with me and family in LOS!

TRIPxCORE Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 This topic has been done ad nauseum. My avatar is easily recognizable as a U.S. dollar bill. But why are there triangles moving around it? That's a secret and has a much greater underlying reason behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Gorgon Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Careful if you're in glaring range, Peter and my old friend LBD. That is an imposter of me in my younger days, Peter. Not even close. Grace Kelly grew to look like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otherstuff1957 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Mine is the door to a crematorium at Wat Salagao in Nakhon Sri Thammarrat. My wife's 97 year old grandfather was on the other side of the door. If you look closely enough you can see a flame colored spot in the middle of the door.

November Rain Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 My new one is Lady Wynter. I was on 3 different avatar websites looking for one that was a bit Gothic (was fed up of the cutesy girl & dog) & went with Winter or bad weather (november rain). I liked her. And, as Jet pointed out, she has hair like Jet!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Although this has been done before, there's a new set of members answer each time (the old hands don't give a flying fart about what [if anything] avatars mean). I like to think mine represents my no-bull attitude to life, I don't suffer fools gladly, in work I'm a JFDI (Just Frigging Do It) person, engineers can get like that as they get older. Besides, I thought that as a road sign, it just about sums up LoS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
