Forum Descriptions off FTW. I like avatars so I keep those on. I do not bother with sigs because it makes the page even longer.

i've never had a problem with any of these things?
its just a picture or a few words. helps me put a backround to the person i'm reading about.
i don't think it would be the same (to me) with out them.

I would rather form an opinion about someone over what they actually say...not what their sig is. That is like judging a book by it's cover.

i'm not forming an opinion of them through they're avatar. (or sig for that matter)
just putting names to 'faces' so to speak.. or opinions to pictures
so i can more easily remember what someone said or maybe even get an insight as to what they like.

I see it all. Avatars, sigs, forum descriptions. I don't even have anyone on ignore. I guess I just like the clutter? 
And I've had the same avatar since the beginning. Now when I scroll through a thread I can't even find my old posts without it. I just look for my avatar, not my screename.

i hate it when people change their avatars all the time. more often than not, i get to know the users more by their avatar than their screen name. i changed mine one time, back in the dont make otd gay protest days. and i still kept the same avatar, just added some rainbow faggotry...

yeah i hate it when people constantly change their avatars too. it's a pain in the ass. what i really don't like is how everyone is constantly changing their screen names these days. i'm not on here enough to keep up with everyones stupid name changes. they might as well be puppets for all i care.

uhh...I don't get it, so what if people have the same avatars. You have to turn them off if people aren't changing them? Do they really bother you that much? You are coming off as some kind of internet elitist.

For the second time in this thread, you don't understand what the fuck I am talking about.
Did I not say that I wasn't complaining about anything, and that Pillow's avatar is a classic/

I really didn't expect you to act like such a little bitch over a comment. I didn't realize you were that sensitive. I apologize sweety.
