Weird, but true I guess...

Yeah, I'm trying to make sure I have a completely different forum avatar on every forum and site I join. Hence why I have a different avatar for here, vBulletin.com, my own site, .org, etc.

I just find it so predictable when people use the same avatar and such for every site they go to.

 

You got something against being lazy?

Course, some might say its a solid branding move too.

At least you do know who is who with some confidence.

 

True, but my username is a pretty good branding move. I mean, it's near enough no one else using it, especially on page 1 in Google:

Predictable? What do you mean?

What would be a disadvantage of using the same avatar, or do you just not like doing it?

 

Meh, I don't use the same avatar everywhere because I just find it boring. Besides, it currently means I get to try a different avatar and profile picture on every single forum I'm a member of, which means I get to mess around with lots of official game artwork and sprites.

 

I use the same avatar everywhere. then when i join a new site, someone who doesn't know me by name but has seen my avatar before is like "Oh yeah, he is not a n00b" and on one site, they bumped me outta the "can't post links until you have X posts" group...

 

I generally use different avatars. Very rarely do I use the same one on different sites.

 

i have different avatars and signatures on every forum i post on, i remember on one forum i was mod on, i changed it every day but run out of pictures!

most of the time i make my own avatars, nothing special really, i dont think any of my graphics would ever be as good as some in here, but theyre ok. one of them i change at different times of the year, i will add on santa hats and stuff at christmas

 

I made this avatar.

<----

First bit of major graphical work I've done in about 5 or 6 years.

 

I use the same one on almost every forum, except for my own.
Alot of people know me by my avatar. I only recently changed mine here, because it's exactly how I feel!

 

mine changes too much to change it everywhere I go. I guess if I am active at a forum and I'm bored with the look of my avatar it'll get changed.
