Why do you change your avatar?

[Dayvo]

I changed mine from a geek (me in real life ) to the Big Lebowski (my hero, and Jeff Bridges being my favourite actor).

I noticed just now that Noodley has gone from the ultra cool Fletch to a pig!!!
And Melville, who used to be the cool dude from Kraftwerk to a some (no) body.
And there are others too numerous to name.

Why? Aren't we content with the persona we assume?

Mine is seasonal,as it says,but when i change mine,its because i like something else,so change to that,just an out of favour thing i suppose?

Mine usually sticks, I can't be doing with constant changes. However, the current one feels...appropriate at the moment.

I changed mine, back on ACF, from the praying mantis to a galaxy. A few days later I was out of ACF. Made me wonder whether changing avatar was ill-omened, for me.

I found that changing my sig line was quite effective in that respect...

Simple really, I have about five or six avatars, when one gets dirty I put it in the wash and take a clean one out of the cupboard.

I can't get mine to stop......

I only changed mine from Fletch to the pig to wind up bonj in his soapbox thread

But I have been told the pig is cool and I should keep it

I think Fletch is much much cooler, but I don't want to go upsetting anyone. Should I start a poll - Fletch or the pig?

If by any chance you post on any Islamist forums - well, changing your avatar to a pig might have 'interesting' consequences.

On second thoughts, they probably don't allow avatars on Islamist forums...

That's okay. I don't ride have any connection with Islamists, only bikes.
