If its any encouragement, I find animated avatars irritating - particlarly repetitive movements like Dantilley's

Less irritating than none at all. Which seems to be the popular movement of the day.

Minimalism is better for the overall energy consumption of the planet.

Thanks for the input, though it doesn't work for me. It looks a bit reproductive like a giant sperm eternally missing a tiny egg.

Interesting perspective, but surely you'd know that has no bearing in your case?

Why not make your own animated avatar? Walt Whitman forever removing and replacing his hat?

I love the Mexican duck, but alas it makes me crave a Mexican roasted duck (OK, chicken really) with a black mole sauce and can't get that here so too frustrating, really.

OK, now here it is. I am using the bubbles rising out of a hole. It is growing on me. I feel the bubbles represent my abundant posts emerging from a mysterious void of nothingness. You might call them brain farts but I prefer to think of them as thought pearls. OK avatar or not?

BTW, I found the site with the ambiguously arty bubbles by googling on annoying irritating gifs inspired by a post here. The site was about arty animated gifs though, not irritating ones.

I like it, but my preference is for funny cartoon style stories. I wonder if the new memory size allows for these?

I think 'arty' was meant either as a euphemism or rhyming slang.

Hey, it's in black and white. Good enough for Woody Allen, good enough for me!

Doesn't stand out like the WW one did...(and i had noooo idea that was Walt shitman before u said so).. Maybe the new one doesn't stand out because it is black and white?

I usually notice a person's avatar when reading their post, before i notice the name...but your new one hasn't clicked in at all over the last few days... after reading a few of your posts i had to look at who was writing them.

How about an animated avatar of Issac Newton with an apple falling on his head...over and over..?

Yeah I get your point. However, I feel the new avatar suggests the existential void and the ultimate meaningless of life, which of course cheers me up, in a Portuguese Fado music kind of way. We'll see.

It could well suggest that to people....for those that notice it...

Nothing wrong with Portuguese Fado... esp in a nice cafe, 11pm at night, end of a bottle of red at hand....it's at its best

FWIW... im much preferring your psychedelic avatar

I'm going through a schizo phase in my quest for the right avatar. I'm not committed to anything yet. Even the dancing Spiderman is calling me a little bit.

I can see how it would be difficult to commit to just the one Avatar when there are so many available for every mood

Indeed. Maybe I'm an avatar slut.

Maybe just Avatar curious. Or maybe it could be the animated ones. They are new to you and just that little bit different. It's natural to want to experiment.

Yes, it could be my graphical orientation is disoriented. Is there a 12 step program for that?

(Still open for avatar suggestions. I'm like a junkie!)

There was a group forming, but they realised that the acronym 'AA' was already taken, so they disbanded.

No reason not to have both.
