Over at The Bosque, we use avatars, but nothing too extreme. I think my avatar of an arrested James Brown is the most "over-the-top."

You have had several over the top avatars, but the godfather of soul is the best of them.

You have a lot more control over the content though.

I keep pointing out this board as the ultimate bad example ... animated avatars AND huge blinky signatures.

A lively bunch you have over there... http://ciberbosque.org/viewtopic.php...er=asc&start=0

Whew, that was close. My old heart couldn't take that.

the lack of avatars makes recognizing people and navigating threads harder. just my 2cents

But maybe they'll read with less partiality that way?

I prefer not having avatars.
Like wearing uniform in school, it forces everyone to appear equal.
