When to Move On (Change Ava/Sig)
Nikkoru:
I just get bored easily and find looking for new backgrounds and icons for my desktop or avatar images for my forum accounts to be something that I can waste an hour or two on thoughtlessly. I don't particularly care about the effect, the effort is occasionally enjoyable. I don't have photoshop, so I just use freeware to clean them up and refit them to my purposes. I'm not particularly aesthetically oriented, so they're more or less the original images.
I'm not concerned with outward expressions of my personality. I hope my posts' contents accomplish this well enough. If you can't recognize me by my writing style alone at this point then I've failed or you're unobservant. I don't generally pick from series or characters I dislike, however.
Ixarku:
In the few forums I've ever posted in, I've always used a Zoidberg pic so it's become a personal tradition. I do, however, frequently change my forum signature & personal text, usually to whatever amusing snippet last occurred to me. Puns, stupid jokes, whatever pops into my head, regardless of whether it's original or not. I have a whiteboard in my cubicle at work where I do the same, just write whatever silly thing I think of. The latest one I've adopted is, "I certify this to be deflect free." which, speaking as a software tester, is immensely funny to me.

I've had mine for ages (read: 2+ yrs, I think). Tatsujin made avatars and signatures for me. Honestly, I doubt I'd change it.

Yeah, I tend to spice up the text in my sig every few months or so... might be time to do it again.
Saras:
I tend to keep one image for a better part of the year. I change them whenever I stumble upon something interesting and think "I want that as my avatar".
However, I do look at avatars. A lot of the tone I read a users message in comes from my interpretation of the avatar and yes, I believe that Ace is Rob Zombie.
