No, I often dress up in coats of many colors in real life.

Mostly, though, I use words and actions to express my individuality. I have that option.

Is your name Joseph? Do you interpret Pharoah's dreams?

Wow, I think that's Donnie Osmond playing Joseph.

I don't think an avatar would take away from someone using words to express their individuality here. But again, that's just my opinion. The consensus seems to be no avatars, so it's really a moot point.

Then why is it that 95% of forums use them?

Most other forums suck?

Yeah, that's it. Most other forums suck, and appeal to a lower common denominator.

If you are really clever/bored, you can use text art in your Location to create an avatar.... maybe?

I had one on my old forum. I've grown used to not having one. I kinda like it now. Fortunately the posters I generally ignore have easily recognisable names.

I was just trying to make a point. There is nothing wrong with wearing black. I wear it quite a bit myself.
