I'm not sure what thread this goes in, so I'm sticking it here. James' thread about an avatar in the Folc Productions got me thinking. There are some people (like LabRat, for instance) whose avatar instantly triggers a recognition in me. I don't even look at the name - when I see that happy looking dog I know exactly who's posting. (Mind you, I'm not saying that I think LabRat is a happy looking dog!)
Why did you choose the avatar you're using? Did you create it? Where did you find it? Does it have special significance to you (like a favorite ep)? Is there a subtle message or an image that you're projecting? If you've changed avatars - why did you do it?
Just curious (and trying to figure out what I want to use as my avatar).
