Do you recognize names or avatars?

[PoBoy321]

Just out of curiosity, when you read a post, do you recognize the poster by his/her name or avatar? I've noticed that when someone changes their avatar it usually takes me a second to recognize who it is.

I would have said avatars but I recognize you and you just changed your avatar.

[peachy]

i only notice avatars...if i know the person pretty well i might notice a chance after a few days or a week...otherwise i have no clue whos who

[Soul Daddy]

Names. Avatars are just window dressing.

I think it's about 80% avatar and 20% name for me. and you just changed yours apparently, so I barely recognized you here!

Sometimes I will skip over peoples posts I know when they change their avatar, then realize it at the end of the thread or something.

[WackityWhiz]

I liked the one you had a few months ago... i forgot what it was, but I liked it and I associated it with you.

and then you got the babe... but now that's gone too

haha, I'm considering bringing Gunter back at some point, but as for now I think I'm just going to stick with Kaga.

Most likely it was the guy lighting himself on fire trying to take a shot of 151.... my bandwidth ran out on that one I believe.

[PoBoy321]

The thing I liked most about Gunter was that he was eurotrash, and at first, I thought you were a gimmick account.

well that was the idea, having the avatar be eurotrash (as quoted by Moe in that episode), but i never intended to be a gimmick account. hmm, I wonder if anybody else thought this

Don't you dare! You are second on my list after Patrick. 2/40000 isn't bad.

[TheCroShow]

i recognize avatars more than anything. that is why i picked this stupid dawson's creek avatar, it's memorable right? sadly, avatars can lead to pre-judging. ='(

[ChipWrecked]

I recognize Patrick's more than any. Second, yours. Because then I think, "There's that [censored] [censored]."

Nevermind, it's not just your avatar.

[TheCroShow]

i'm not allowed to make a comment about your avatar? aww muffin....

[diebitter]

Mostly names, but avatars in a few cases - especially when it's a throbbing cherry

[ChipWrecked]

Yes.

The cherry went to a different kind of movement after the throb was 'outed'. Now best I can tell it has no motion at all.

That, combined with Gorie's on-again-off-again virginity, makes me believe there is something so deep going on there that I only get the most superficial of levels.

[Patrick del Poker Grande]

I go by name, but I skim by avatar.

[jdl22]

I notice the name of the OP for later posters in a thread it's avatars.

edit: it occurred to me now that I also recognize the name of the latest responder, so if I'm following a thread closely I'll recognize plenty names but if there are several responses it's mostly avatars.

[spamuell]

Avatar, but if I don't recognise the avatar then I look at the name, then I either skip the post, skim the post or read the post.

[Voltron87]

i go by avatar. when i see an avatar i dont know i check who it is.

What is it? RX8 engine?

[Patrick del Poker Grande]

I kind of wish that whatever avatar a person had at the time of each post would just stay with that post, instead of it updating every post with the new avatar. This thread would definitely make more sense if it did that. Certainly, avatar picking threads would be better and it would be more interesting when you go back and see old posts.

[spamuell]

Yeah this thread will make no sense to anyone reading it from now. But, at least I don't have to stick with that lame cowbell avatar.

It's just an animation of a general rotary engine and the wankel cycle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wankel_rotary_engine).

No way. This must be why they don't teach this in high school in England.

I really like your wankel engine
