It's an emoticon, not an avatar, and don't you forget it.

No avatars is the awesome. People can always put something on their profile. Back during a, um....(shhhhhhh) certain s-a-f-a-r-i time I remember how horribly annoying their site was. Ugh. You could barely read the comments through all the avatars and signatures and whatever else they had going on. Seizures is right! It was like Mary Hart's voice over there.

If this is a serious thing we're talking about, I wonder if it's possible to have the "sterile for work" view not include avatars? I'm not saying it's a deal breaker for me, but having avatars all over the screen is going to make discreet browsing from work more difficult.

If you want to put your pic up, you put it in your profile. If someone wants to see your pic, they look at your profile.

Because the profiles are there, I really don't see the point in 'avatars.'

Do we really need to tackify the place, like so many 'tattoos' (so we can express our individuality like everyone else?)

Profiles, people. Profiles.

Besides, I don't want to look at some of your mugs all the time.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to post a giant mind-blowing annoying signature. kthx.

Avatars are rarely someone's own picture.

Could you choose another color besides Blue? We need to dress the place up a bit.

infinite monkey · 10-17-2011, 12:20 PM

Yeah, they're like tattoos.

And didn't this whole thing come up because people thought they would recognize people more? So, which is it?

Meh, you've all been wanting me gone for a long time anyway. Avatar your face off, and have fun. Might I suggest sheep faces?

BrilliantDisguise · 10-17-2011, 12:21 PM

I've used avatars like this before...

infinite monkey · 10-17-2011, 12:23 PM

OHHHHH, yeah, I can see how Pete will recognize you from now on!

Whaaaaaaaaaaaa?

BrilliantDisguise · 10-17-2011, 12:25 PM

By "flagatars", are you talking about my 3 tiny little flags in my signature?

infinite monkey · 10-17-2011, 12:26 PM

It's a play on words. Flagatars, Avatars, Tattootars, sigtars...really, anything much more than a concise thought (ahh yes, thoughts) is annoying. Just mho.

But I DID love jimhelm's 10 or 12 flags in his signature he had over the weekend. Brilliant!
