heh - choggie used to change his, what? once a week or so. Drove me nuts. Then I did the same for a bit until I found my dead little Santi.

Seriously, I think the writing style, tone, typical content, etc. is more identifiable than anything else for most sifters.

Too late. I just changed mine tonight. Instead of Balloon Jesus I'm now Bazooka Squirrel. And I hadn't really planned on it until choggie asked me just to try it as a test because he was having trouble changing his, so he wanted to know if I would have the same problem. So I did it just as a test, but then I liked it so I kept it.

So Choggie and I both changed ours this very evening. This isn't really helping matters, is it?

HA!

HOW YOU LIKE ME NOW MUTHAFUCKA??! CONFUSED YET?! READY TO EXPLODE?!

[Edit] - Wrote this comment while using Dag's avatar as my own.

^lmfahs - shame all the pics don't update immediately.

Sarzy speaks words of wisdom here. I get all confused as well as to who used to have what and if they were the ones I remember writing something. Visual Identification is a powerful thing.

That is important. Yes. Avatars and all that good shit. Blah, blah. But, what's more important, in my opinion, is the flagrantly biased use of the Lucky Lemon yellow in the "type preview" window. What's up with that? I liked the standard Blankfist Blue, myself. Who's with me?!

Dont worry my avatar will always be cyclops.

karaidl: I want to see a bunch of BorgAnts.

But I can see why avatars can be important to easily recognize people.

*quality IMO.

Awarding Sarzy with one star point for this contribution to Sift Talk - declared quality by ant.

I don't really change my avatar a lot, mainly because I find my current one pleasantly hilarious/creepy (one of my favorite Japanese singers caught on film with the wierdest fucking look on his face).

I will be changing temporarily to my usual Siftiversary avatar in February.

I'll compromise; my avatar will always be Lil Miss.

I'm not going anywhere with this avatar. It has a certain distinguished feature about it no? For those of you who wonder how much shampoo I use on on a daily basis it's 2 bottles.

Yes... I happen to be rather fond of my raven, so it will stay.
And also, I am easily confused when people switch up their avatars... choggie was the first I think, who would do it all the time, and I would yell at him repeatedly... but I've adjusted and gotten used to it.

Sometimes I just have to find a new dragon... Keep losing 'em...

I've changed mine a few times in the past but have realized that I can't find anything better than four guys sitting in chairs...

Yea, while reading this all I can think of was choggie. He kept changing his avatar and it drove me nuts as well.

But then again he's one of a kind, and let's hope it stays that way

I hate you all equally anyway so it doesn't really matter if I recognize you individually.

What about donning a dapper hat? Is that okay?

Sorry for the trouble, but I'll probably continue changing my avatar. There are a lot of pictures in the world.

I wouldn't dream of changing my beautiful avatar until she wins the election and runs our country into the ground.

Big comment upvote to karaidl because (and I feel stupid admitting) I really was very confused after reading that comment until I later noticed the "karaidl" next to it in the top comments sidebar.

And another big comment upvote to jonny for saying LMFAHS!

As far as the post's topic goes, I've always had the same avatar (plus or minus a Santa hat), but reading this makes me want to change it.

Moths are short lived, so i might need to find a new pic one day.

>> ^smibbo:

Yeah, but Lil' Miss is gonna have to put in some really cute overtime to beat your current avatar!

Yes, Sarzy, you've reminded us all it's time to change..
gotta dig up another one.

Hmmm... I think I may have done more harm than good with this thread.

Nice job Sarzy. Way to go.

I'll stick with the sleestak...

Here, here, always a plus when evoked, I am just tickled pink to be associated with change, that's how we all should roll-change good/static bad.

T-man, there are many other sleesatx pictures

WHOA DUDE!!!, check this out......!!
Sleestax on yer pants!!!

OK Karaidl. That was funny.

what's the point of commenting here after karaidl's?

Our avatars are bigger than those on most sites- we get some flack for that, but I like it. There is often a lot of meaning and subtext in people's avatars and it helps if they are big enough to read text, when included.

I love the size of our...avatars. Not that I'm compensating for anything.

...this dag and "doppledag" thing is throwing me off.

Dag's avatar reminds me of this Aphex Twin album cover.

avatars are for noobs. i'm old school like that.

BTW, after a comment gets a star, it's impossible to downvote it?

Economically? Militarily? Sir: we're 100 feet off the ground and pointed straight down. The next guy (or gal) isn't exactly inheriting a picnic and I sure have my ideas on which pilot was the slow kid in school.

Today's comment was brought to you by the letters G and W.

Amen Bamdrew

it's posts like these that MAKE me want to change my avatar.

*promote

Promoting this Sift Talk post - promote requested by schmawy.

Sarzy must be some kind of disease. First his avatar catched onto the rest of us, and now blankfist and Schmawy seem to have gotten one of his talk posts as well! What's next? Will all our videos slowly turn into dupes of Sarzy's? Will we slowly absorb all his star points? Will I get his diamond? And most important: Is this the end of VideoSift as we know it?

Stay tuned for more!

Up with miniskirts.
