I remember changing my avatar once, and received several PMs asking me to return to the usual, because they already recognized me.

You mean a turn-of-the-century oil baron. Wink

Other than him, whom I really imagine looking and speaking like the film character he's named for, I associate the avatars of Slartibartfast and the Baldies with the people behind them. That's pretty much it.

The Trower cover looks aroused, I do not find Trower particular arousing. LOL

Yes Iván, I think I remember you changing it once and I was all sorts of confused.  You're definitely one of those members who are not allowed to change it.  Wink  But it's a cool cover so why change anyway?  Tongue

I always thought I would go back to the peaceful Finnforest album cover, but now I'm not sure.  There's something to be said for girls with gunsBig smile
 
Actually I love the Starbuck character for the way she deals with evil.   As a society, we should be so lucky.

Eventually I'll have to go back to a vampire/Dracula avatar.. i'm just waiting for the right one to appear  Tongue
 
But I still have the moral obligation as a metal fan and an anti-religion man to display the sign of Baphomet for a while... (there's no signs for that so i have to choose the sign of the enemy LOL)
 
Also, my dark side has to be represented somehow.. therefore, the goat will stay for a few more weeks.

Just use a heptagram instead, it signifies a more highbrow kind of Satanism... the Baphomet I think is associated with LaVey's Church of Satan whereas the heptagram (seven-pointed star) was used by the Ordo Argenteum Astrum started by Aleister Crowley who took the entire occult business more seriously than LaVey did.

Incidentally, you find a heptagram on the cover of Celtic Frost's Morbid Tales which not surprisingly is similar in style to Venom (who had a Baphomet on their debut LP) but with a more artsy sensibility!

I use that image (Max Schreck as Nosferatu) most of the time. But it´s strange because I don´t often go out at night... I just think it´s a cool film still. Otherwise I´m a pile of Spanish bricks...
It's not that I can't find worth in anything, it's just that I can't find worth in enough.
