Since IslandPacific ( all for you my friend ) didn't think she could ask the question I did it for her.

Does your Avatar have a specific meaning ?

If so can you share the story ?

My Avatar is actually this bum who won't pay rent and won't move out!

I'm pretty much a "what you see is what you get" sort'a Guy. My name
really is Ron, and I really live in Regina, and my avatar is really of one of
my dogs from a picture taken in my own kitchen. I use that picture 'cuz it
looks (to me anyway) like the dog is laughing. :lol:


I've used a couple of different Avatars since I've been on CC. I have noticed
that people respond differently to me depending on the Avatar I'm using.
What I don't know is if "I" behave differently when I use a different Avatar.
When I used a picture of myself, I seemed to end up in the most adversarial
situations, strangely enough. These are some of the others that I've used:

And he's a ridiculous character from Metalocalypse, bassist of the band DethKlok

I like to pick things that are tangentially representative of what I guess is my "online persona", but also represent things I am "into" at the time- I also like to try to pick things that get the point across in the tiny square provided

Usually I just place a picture that I like as my Avatar.

The one I am using currently is for a person that likes wolves quite a bit.:smile:

Where do you find these avatars? It's only since I've posted on this forum that I was aware there even was such a word, but I guess that comes from being an old Hill Billy.

You can find them everywhere!;-):p If there is a picture that you like, save it onto your computer. Then you can use the option in your Control Panel to upload the picture from your computer to use as your Avatar.:smile: There are also many to choose from in the Avatar section.

Just google avatars. Lots of them out there. Being an artist I prefer to use my own art.
