What do you think of DeFacto Avatar Day?
I think it would be neat to have everyone's avatars be a real picture of themselves for 24 hours. What's your opinion?

As this requires no effort from me ... I'm all for it
When the first siftup video was posted it was pretty interesting to put faces to the screen names.
However, I'm not sure it would be the same in a little thumbnail.
There's caching issues to consider, too. It might be better to make it 2-3 days at least, since it's not uncommon for someone to change their avatar and not have it reflected for a while. I seem to remember @MarineGunrock changing his a couple years back and it taking a few months before siftbot finally woke up and started serving the correct image.
i don't know why i voted yes. I think anonymity is truly valuable. Or priceless.
I am just going to copy the pictures and put dicks for noses etc. etc.
I actually looked like this once ->
But I won't reveal more, it would go against my internet rules.
That was really fun to watch, and so well done!
It makes my idea smell like cheese and fail.

I know it's hard to believe and all, but I really AM a cat wearing a tiara.

Same here, I am really an ant. I wish I can prove it to you in person tomorrow night in L.A. meet, but it doesn't look like it will happen.

No...no requirements.
Interesting to see, but the...mystery of the spirit on the other side of the words is half the fun...seeing past their exterior to an inner world.
Now if we all posted our butts instead of our faces....
Then we might be on to something.....

Here's mine!
I worked long and hard trying to find this picture. And it took me even longer to format it and upload it. There's no way I'm ever going to change it. If you wanna see me, feel free to head to my facebook page.
This will make
mystalking that much easier, so yeah.I'm... too sexy for the sift.
Edit: The masochists out there can find me via the videosift-facebook-page. Will accept almost all friend requests! And yes, I wear skirts most of the time (... most of the time I'm clothed).

I - like - big thoraxes and I cannot lie
you other ants can't deny
that when an ant walks in with a wasp-waist
And a round thing in your face
You get stung!

Not all species can sting. I am a species that can sting. I never had to use it though.
I changed mine to my face on a whim the other day. I had my hoodie bunched and tied tight.

I look just like blankfist. with hair

Me too. er... wait.
When I first read that, you still had your TNG-crew-in-funny-hats avatar, so I was like - you're Wharf?>> ^kulpims:

My profile is linked to my facebook page and I never bothered to change it.
I am Heavy Weapons guy.
But in all honesty, I'm heading to an Airshow in Detroit in a couple weeks. I still have a promise to fulfill from like last year saying that I'd send a picture of me in a Videosift shirt, however, my Videosift broke.
I have a Vidcu ft shirt now, because the lettering fell off. It's sadly not the same.
So, it won't be in a sift shirt, but I'm sure I'll have a picture of me standing in front of a plane, or something.
Voting for this poll ended with the majority of users voting Yes, it would be fun to see the face of a sifter..
I like the opportunity web anonymity gives, allowing ideas to be exchanged without judgment being made based on gender, skin colour, physical attractivity, etc. Then again, I'm one of those people who hate having their picture taken but love taking/looking at pictures of others (with their permission of course), so to all you yay-sayers, pics or you didn't happen!
Done.
Four years and counting.
I don't know who the guy in my avatar is, this is what I really look like.
