Oh, I think this should be delved into. We need serious discussion about this!! Surely there is a deeper significance to how often people change their avatars.

Are you suggesting that these are the type of women with whom you regularly engage in sexual activity?

Does my slave girl count as a sexually charged avatar? I've had everything from trees to animals, a trace of dna, landscapes, funny people, sexy people, fictional characters, politicians, pictures of myself and also no avatar. What does jumping around between avatars say about someone? And what does staying with the same for several years say? (andy, woodruff, lackattack etc)

Oh, you're not an oracle? Okay, sorry then. I'll have to turn to BBS for answers I suppose.

To quote or not to quote, that is the quoted question.

I can't speak for Andy or lack, but in my particular case, I'm pretty sure all it means is that I am a combination of boring and lazy.

Personally, I prefer when users stick to the same avatar. I like associating the person with their avatar; it helps me to visualize them in a weird sort of way, and, in a more practical way, to remember them!

As for me, I like mixing things up from time to time, but I still like having an image associated with me specifically. Something a bit more tangible than the general tone of my posts and my username. Thus, I tend to stick with different images of the same character. In my eyes, never changing avatars is representative of a more stable, dedicated type, while changing avatars frequently is representative of a more unstable, flighty character with fleeting desires.

It's interesting to note that more members of TeamCC stick to certain avatars than change them...
