When to Move On (Change Ava/Sig)

(1/4) > >>

vicious796:
Though my profile says I registered in '06, I'm fairly positive I've been around longer than that. More importantly, however, is the fact that I've had the same ava and sig since I first started. I've only ever made one change to it - I had a friend insert the Fortress Forever patch on Vicious' arm and downgraded the picture quality for a "rustic" look. Now, however, I feel it may be time for a change.

Some of you guys, like Nikkoru, change your avas and sigs more often than your socks. Others, like Ace, are more like me - post it and forget it. In fact, I've decided in my mind that Ace is Rob Zombie or his clone. I've seen pictures of his trips and know he looks nothing like him, but in my head Rob Zombie is replying to my posts.

So, the question is simple. How often do you change your ava/sig and why? Is it with every anime you watch or just when you're bored and feel creative? Those who feel like chiming it about it can support or deter my change as well.

When I first joined I would change it fairly regularly. Now I only change it if I see a pic that I particularly like that would make an easy avi. I no longer care about actually creating something in photoshop anymore and tend to forget I even have one since I keep all avis/sigs hidden.

Kendjin:
I used to change it so much more often. Now that I am in the latter part of 20s. I've kind of settled on one, though honestly. I really need to find a better version of my current one. It looks a bit too much some sort of Avi pack.

SeventyX7:
How you talked about Ace being Rob Zombie is how I think about avatars.  I consider my Scott Pilgrim robot avatar as part of my persona here.  I wouldn't consider changing it, both because I've done like 2000 posts with it, and also because nobody else here uses Scott Pilgrim images so it's unique.

When I'm in the politics forum reading posts I often don't even look at the names, I look at the avatars first and am like, "oh, it's vicious posting" or ace.  I like people using the same avatars either forever or for long periods of time at least.

Its funny you mention this. I use dot just look at avis and decide whether or not to read the post. Now I just have them all hidden tho because I browse publicly more then I used to and, well, I just dont want that visible.

My tracker avatar has not changed since the day I joined.
