Avatar confusion.

    Sometimes, when someone has the same avatar as a regularly posting member, I read their post and think: "Wow, that certainly doesn't sound like so-and-so, why would they say that?" Then I realize it is someone else.

    I definitely associate certain avatars with certain people. You definitely can't have the same icon as someone else. It just fucks me all up.

    Anyone else notice this? :sunny:

    Definitely. That's why you should all pay a few bucks to get a custom one :p

    That's what signatures are for, and why I very rarely change mine.

    yes i definitely get confused sometimes because of the same avatar.

    i used to use the stoner one with red eyes and a joint in his mouth, but it's really common. not too many people use the pig one, and it fits my name pretty well.

    and as TNS said, you can use your signature as your calling card too

    I use Avatarblock, so I don't see peoples avatars. I think it's all about the words people write and not about their avatar.

    it's rare, but it does happen.

    usually when i see someone else with the jackass avatar, and think "when the hell did i post in this thread?"

    I did it one time with you and skitzo as you have the same one. I was reading one of his posts and thought "I was sure he was married", meaning you. Was rather an odd feeling and thank god I checked the post before posting it or it would have made no sense at all.
