Prometheus Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 I think that every member should at least use an avatar. Reasons to: 1) Makes it easier for readers to quickly see who is posting. It makes it hard if they don't have an avatar. you actually have to read the persons name to see who it is.... I know avatars change, but if people just don't change it every three minutes, then people would be like "hey, whos' this...* see avatar, read name* ok" Then everytime they see that avatar again they can know who it is....Then if they ever change it........."Who's this.......*read name, see avatar*......oo...ok....new avatar..." I just do'nt like the fact that almost all the new members have NO avatar or signature what so ever. It makes it hard to read, and very annoying. / rant I know thats a terrible argument, and one that won't get anywhere probably.... I just have a problem with it... ~P Link to post Share on other sites
ChiefLouk Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Second Your reasons are the same reasons I like avatars. Easy to see who posted. What I have noticed, however, is that many people who don't have avatars don't have more than 50 posts, so it is all good. By the way, you numbered your reasons, but you only had one of them.

DrewLawson Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 I still have to read whose name it is when I see my avatar because me and Diemaco use the same one, and I forget where I posted Link to post Share on other sites
gazchap Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 I don't actually notice avatars or signatures. I used to have sigs turned off but I turned them back on for some reason. I just read the posts, I don't actually pay any attention to who wrote them. Link to post Share on other sites
Dominion28 Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Personally I think its a good way to be that little bit more unique. Especially in a forum where a post can be easily overlookded if there's not something to catch the reader's eye. Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 I don't know about anyone else, but I've tried this thing called "reading." It's really good for telling you who's posted, and what they've said. Link to post Share on other sites

Prometheus Posted February 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Thanks for the heads on my mis numbering. I just think its strange not to have an avatar. And, whoever said that it is mostly people with under 50 posts not having an avatar are partially wrong. I've noticed several members with 100+ PC and no avatar. ~P Link to post Share on other sites
Sao Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 I find the signatures, especially large ones, annoying becuase it means more stuff to scroll past and it makes it harder to browse stealthily at work Avatar's. I really couldnt care less, I read the names, it takes all of what 0.0002 of a second to read the name, unless you're dyslexic or a bit slow on the uptake Link to post Share on other sites
BoB SoiL Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 (edited) You could always turn sigs off? Edited February 20, 2006 by BoB SoiL Link to post Share on other sites

I find it funny that, 1) No one without an avatar has posted, and 2) no global moderators have posted. Link to post Share on other sites
