No...who the hell are you people? Where am I? What year is it!?

But seriously, I recognize some avatars but I have no idea who anyone is. I have no friends D: (except duckymcfly99, he is my Tom)

I can identify most Escapists by their respective names.
I sometimes look at avatars incase I forget. >.>

Yeah, because all escapist users have a big escapist logo tattooed to their forehead. Whenever I see a fellow scapist on the street I challenge them to a pokemon battle.

Oh, you meant on the escapist.

I go by avatars/ avatar themes, for 'tis pretty easy to put a name to an avatar and an avatar to another avatar.

I know quite a few users by their avatar and username. I remember avatars easier though, so don't come complaining to me when I don't know you after an avatar change.

I recognize a few by username, but most by Avatar. I only really notice the username when someone quotes them.

A good number of them, yes. Some of them by name, some of them by avatar, and some by the style of post.

Seriously, you knpow who wrote some topics without looking at the name.

I recognise avatars first, of course I do, they're meant to draw the eye.

If I don't recognise an avatar, I look at the name, just in case someone decided to change their avatar.

The ones who keep the same avatar for months on end are pretty easy to recognise such as Daystar above me and yeah, I do recognise quite a fair amount of people here by username and their posting style/the opinions they hold which probably speaks to the fact that I really need to get out more. XD

I recognise a few by avatar, most by name and a handful by the way they act on the forums.

Will you hurry up and settle on an avatar Sass?

You're stealing precious millisecond of my life every time I have to indentify you :D

I'm afraid I can't do that, Daystar.
I must continually change, or I might be known as a one avatar guy. This could impact my respect amongst my peers. D:

Hey, at-least I'll always recognise you, we can be overshadowed together ;-)

OT: I can actually identify a lot of users here, firstly by avatar but if I see them enough or they are particularly recognisable I'll end up learning their username too. Recognition does depend a lot on where people post though, as I'm primarily an Off-topic/Role-playing User with the occasional foray into Religion and Politics so I won't know those who mainly stick to the Gaming forums and they won't know me.

Nobody relies on indecisive avatar guy. If you can't even decide what avatar to have, how can you be trusted with anything else?

Only by avatars. Even if I learn their names, if they change avatar I'll assume it's someone else and be none the wiser.
