Hahaha, I see that I have become a PA superstar. How flattering.

I always associate avatars with people, to the point that it's unsettling when someone who has had one for a long time changes it, and on larger forums where I don't know everybody I often can only recognize the avatar of some poster.

I actually have a picture of myself I was planning to post, but if the people would rather not see my face then so be it.

if you own a sodastream i hate you

It would be weird if you changed your avatar, in fact, it is almost always weird when people change their avatars, it means I have to actually read their name to see who it is.

Wow, that is a great pun. LOL

Lots of cats in avatars isn't there?

Wow, I didn't even think about that while I was writing it, that just makes it a whole lot better. LOL

ah yes, apparently I've recently been told I'm an emo!

That's actually the first thing I thought when I saw your avatar.

Did they exist before 1989?

As with all pre-89 music, emo was once actually something good that's now been debased by modern usurpers. Dig classics like Rites of Spring and Embrace for an example of this phenomenon.

Mr. Plainview... I think you should not change your avatar, I swear I cannot imagine you not being a gangster... please, don't change it, the same to CPicard... I was thinking on changing mine... but don't know what to put... maybe I playing keyboards or guitar... not sure... the girls are taking my place too much..!!!

Change the program inside... Stay in silence is a crime.

Whenever I see WalterDigsTunes, I see a Frank Zappa that hates all post-1989 bands.

Oh, and yes, I am starting to associate avatars with the real people. Do any of you associate me with an extremely happy boy giving a "Peace" sign from a video game?

Yeah, I do associate the avatars with the people. I can't imagine seeing any of you outside the internet. I always think of people using computers as people that don't do anything outside of the computers if you know what I mean.

I am ACYL, that is about it really. No real drug connotations, just something that reflects my taste in music. I used to be the Up The Downstair cover, but that is now in my sig.

Yes, I do make the same association.

I noticed that quite some PA veterans used to change their avatars like they changed their socks, but after a few years stuck with one avatar or returned to an old avatar. I'm not inclined to change mine often either.

I changed mine recently to Captain Obvious after having a couple of comments made regarding my obvious responses. I think that it is the 5th or 6th different avatar that I have used during my time here. I'm sure I'll probably change back to something Rush-related eventually.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Ok, I admit it.

I'm not actually Will Ferrell.
