How often do you change your avatar?

[linkzeldi]

I've come to notice lately that I change my avatar every few days. Usually every time I settle on a good avatar I find a better one. Perhaps I'm just indecisive. Well I don't usually make my own avatars, so I form no attachments to them. I'm like a magpie, I pick up whatever is shiny.

So the question is escapists, how often do you change your avatar and why?


Edit: My various avatars. . . for those who are curious

Never. My avatar has been with me on this site since day 1. It'd suck to change it.

 

[Sassafrass]

I am not getting rid of Dr. Cox over there for a while.
It's too awesomely awesome for me to part with.

 

[HeySeansOnline]

I rarely change avatars on a whole. But as for the Escapist I've never changed it.

 

[Palademon]

If I had an awesome animated one, then I would. Put I rarely change since I'm always nervous about it. I've only had two avatars here and avatars are one of the best ways to remember people. So I am often worried that the very few people who notice me may forget me.

 

[RyQ_TMC]

Haven't changed mine since I've set it. I've had the same Skype avatar for the past 4 years... And on fb, I pretty much stay on one profile pic for a few months, then decide it's time for a change, cycle through a few in about a week, then stay on it for the next few months.

I guess I'm just too lazy to be bothered. On fb, it's probably because I see my friends changing their pics.

Oh, and it's "magpie".

 

[delet]

Whenever I feel like it. I'd like to return to my lovely old 'LEAPFROG' avatar, but I can't due to size restrictions. Unless they change them restrictions, I'll be changing my avatar whenever I care to.

 

[WrongSprite]

Nah. I tried before, but a lot of people stopped recognising me, so I changed it back. I do recognise people via their avatars.

 

[khaimera]

Mine has been a servbot for all of time here except for my first week where I had this.

Thanks go to Number1Zero for my current avatar.

 

[Skorpyo]

Haven't changed mine. Ever.

Thought I'd get a new one to celebrate my 1,000th post, but it never happened.

Haven't changed mine since I've set it.

And don't you ever. That "Bouncing Tits" joke never fails to make me laugh.

 

[T-Bone24]

I have changed my avatar every few months. I stuck with Mega Man for about a year, then the tentacle.

I don't think I shall change Kim Pine for quite a while, thank you.

 

[Frequen-Z]

Seldom. I can count the times on one hand. Twice, I think.

Gone but not forgotten

 

[EviladeBlazingDemon]

I can change it? I don't post here often but I suppose it would make sense to have it as something to better represent my personality and taste, as much as I love Vincent Valentine(in a totally manly way).

 

[ckam]

My female version of Guan Yu has been there for me since the beginning of my register!

 

[Pandalisk]

Meh time to time, i plan on keeping this for a while though

 

[tomtom94]

Change?
CHANGE?

How can you improve upon perfection?

(That said, at some point I would like to touch up the pixels that got messed up during resizing. Maybe when I can be bothered.)

 

[Casual Shinji]

Whenever I get sick of looking at it.

And changing your avatar every six months or so has the habit of gaining some fresh perspective.

 

[Lord Mountbatten Reborn]

Only changed it once, to this one, and haven't moved from there since.

 

[hittite]

never. it's pretty much the most memorable thing about me.

 

[PureChaos]

i've changed it twice depending on what i was into. when i joined i was playing Ocarina of Time (one of my all time favorite games) so my avatar was a pic of Link. after that i re-did Killer 7 so i changed my avatar to Con, my favorite character in Killer 7. after that i changed it to Kiba, may favorite character from Naruto, and it's been him ever since and i don't plan on changing it. he has become my avatar for every site i'm on
