If you don't have an avatar, I don't recognize you 2

Its weird to me when people have several thousand posts on here and still haven't chosen an avatar. My default method of ID'ing posters is their avatar. (which admittedly causes confusion because people sometimes have identical avatars.)
I mean if you're a prominent/memorable member I'll read your name and remember it if you don't have a pic. But most of you, nope.
It kinda sucks when prominent members change their avatars though. (and especially people who's names display in an unreadable color )
I figured I can't be the only one who does this. Thought I'd point it out. I love how unique some of the avatars on here are.
(I really need to make a more complete version of my own avatar someday. The full animation varies between two finger snapping animations. The alternation between the two is very visually pleasing for some reason.)

I remember people more by their sig. I use my phone to browse shroomery, and zoom in just enough that the whole left bar with avatar, post count etc. doesn't even come into my screen.

I'm the same way. I know avatars.
I know some sigs too, but avatars are more memorable.

Most people are more likely to remember visual cues (I think)
I will get around to finding an avatar someday. I just haven't stumbled upon a image that I find suitable for use and I don't have a computer that is ideal for image editing. Just a shitty laptop with a broken USB mouse.
I'm ghetto.

Lol, no, you know me. We've talked a bit over the years. I think we even traded. I just go by usernames and have sigs disabled too. Grew up on GEnie, Prodigy etc BB's. Didn't know what an avatar was when I found sites like this one.

I made mine on a shitty laptop from 2007. I know its not spectacular or anything, but its mine. You could make one on yours, I bet.

Thank you for believing in me! You're right though. Someday I'll make one! Just not tonight.

I dont know when it started, but it was before i joined in '11.
i never participated until last year, and i havn't bothered switching my avatar back because i lost the original image when i reinstalled my OS
ive just grown accustomed to the hat. keeps my left ear warm

I used the same avi for about 2 years and I absolutely love that one.

Then I started to use my current one, and it's cool and all since I drew it but, meh...

I don't have an opinion on whether or not you should switch but that's an awesome drawing.
I wish I had art skillz.

I constantly try to figure out what my avatar should be, but then like a day later I decide it was a bad idea and abandon that idea for a new one. This has been going on for a while. I still have no avatar.
I'm currently debating between a picture of mario from the original super mario bros, a view through a real kalaedoscope, or a close up of that chemist dog who says "I have no idea what I'm doing." I will probably abandon all of these ideas by next week.
