How often do you change your avatar?

I feel like avatars are more of a symbol that represents you, rather than an image depicting you. The avatar is representative, unlike a profile picture. Thus, I feel like avatars should be changed far less than Facebook pics.

I started using this image of Azrael, the angel of death, back in 2008 on the MMORPG.com boards. Being rather fond of the symbolism, I kept it when they shut down the R&P section and I "migrated" here.

So yeah, not all that often.

I like to chance my avatar according to which album I'm currently obsessed with. So a few days ago I changed it to the latest Paradise Lost album, which is epic.

I changed mine only about 3 times. Before my current one (The Album Cover for an Album I've been working on for a while), was a Spy-like Character from an Escapist Film Contest I entered. Before that, it was a Box with a smiling face. And Before that... I don't think I had one before that.

Sadly, I don't have any of those old pics anymore, but I could redraw them so everyone can at least guess what I had.

I've changed my avatar once. It used to be Phoenix Wright with a coffee grenade dangling from his face.


Now, as you can see, my avatar is Lilly Satou. Why? Because she's amazing, that's why!

I think this is my second avatar on this site. I was inspired by 2X Double.

In general, I tend to stick with an avatar once I choose it, at least for a while. I would say I average a change a year or something like that, maybe less.

Once since I became a member here. Sticking to this one for recognition!
I am the same way I never change mine because it is a good way for people to get to recognize me and if I change it all the time people will just confuse me as 2 or more people.

I've had this the whole time.

Eventually I think i will change it though. The Dres needs some time off.

LOL, very nice. Would you mind if I use your old PW avatar? As you can see I'm in the market for one. :)

Never, I pretty much love my avatar. And I'm like kinda lazy to change it anyway.

My steam avatar is this and I pretty much love it as well

I'll change my picture on Facebook when I get a new one I like, but when it's an avatar, I keep my first choice.

I generally try to keep up with a Pony avatar to show that I'm a fan, but every now and then I come across something too unique or adorable.

Thus, Jack!

Rarely, these days. I'm invisible enough on these forums without me switching faces every ten minutes.

I have never changed my avatar here, and I rarely change my avatar on anything else.

I am a counter-troll here on the internet. I am a level 3 master troll that has harnessed my considerable power to fight for all that is good and classy! That is why this avatar never changes. They watch my post's back as it fights the good fight.

Going on 5 months now and I've only switched avatars once.

Fun/weird idea, lets all switch our avatars to that of the poster above us. I switch mine to a picture of Counter Troll, Sarge034 gets Calvin, Regnes gets Joshua, and the poster below me gets Kool Aid man.

It's just an idea.

This is my first, and until I decide to start doing gifs it'll be my only one.

[sub]In other words it'll be my only one forever.[/sub]

I've stayed with the same avatar here since I joined. I've been toying with the idea of changing it, but one of the reasons I'm kind of against the idea is because I like to think that people recognize me for it, but that's a wild dream I'm chasing.

I don't change my avatar often, but when I do, it must have the swag-tagonist from Persona 4 in it. He's kinda my symbol here.

Both are equally epic.
