What is the longest you have used a single avatar?

[Headsprouter]

Perhaps the Scraggy one, but I took a hiatus for most of the time I had that. At this rate, it's probably hard to believe I've had any avatar that was not Headsprouter.

Spoiler: Here's one I had for most of my time on the escapist, for which I was active.

My current one was done by the user Pinky. I was in the right place in the right thread at the right time, and some awesome Headsprouter art came out of it. The rainbow hat was "given" to me by Neuromancer.

I guess, it's nothing special that I'm using this one since I've been here. But I'm using this little fellow for years now on nearly every board or community.

 

[Poetic Nova]

On LastFM I still use a Squigly avatar, which I have up for around a year now. Normally I change it up every few months.
Previous avatars where 2 diffirent Hatsune Miku ava's, Gaige the Mechromancer and Max Damage, both Miku one's still being my favorites.

Current one is From the Grave, however I'm thinking about changing it to Shodan.

edit: Forgot the brief period where I had a Athena avatar (NPC turned playabled character in the Borderlands franchise).

 

[DaWaffledude]

Since I bothered to get an avatar, I've used this Waffle-Pichu.

 

[Something Amyss]

I've had this one since I've had an avatar here (a few days after I registered, tops).

I had the escapist's avatar of Winoa for quite a long time. Then I noticed someone else had that same avatar then I had to switch because it was confusing me but also I wanted my very own. Then I found this one. I think I've had this one for nearly a year? I'm not so sure. I like this one.

Has it only been a year? I thought it was significantly longer. I've always enjoyed this avatar either way, I just thought that I'd enjoyed it longer than a year.

I've been here for five years, and never once changed my avatar. I want to be well-known here, and changing it would make that much harder.

Who are you again? >.>

I had the weeping angels for at least a year, probably two.

That one? I'm glad you changed. I was afraid to blink whenever I saw your posts.

9+ months? (It's my current one, FYI). To be fair: I've used it before I signed up here (quite often, actually). It's one of my two standard avatars.

 

[Fijiman]

The longest I've used any of my avatars is about a year or so.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

You're looking at it right now.

The one I had before was a Silent Hill 3 one, and I had that for slightly over a year. Then BL2 came out with a trailer that had some Siren bro-fisting and I just couldn't resist. I think I've had this one for two years now...? I dunno, but I don't plan on changing it any time soon.

It's just too awesome.

 

[FPLOON]

I want to say since sometime early April after using an avatar that was more of an inside joke to myself than anything on April Fool's... and then decided to just flip over the avatar I usually use upside-down because why the fuck not, basically...

I was this close to temporary changing it to a gif for the first time ever... However, I love the way my avatar is to actually go through with it... So, I don't think I'll be changing it anytime soon... (Might change my title soon, though... But, I don't know...)

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

Well, I used

for yonks. But I just switched to this little avatar for funsies.

 

[SirDerpy]

Well, my username was entirely based around

Spoiler

And I used that for quite a long time, I'd say about eight months or so.

Then I watched Baccano and decided that this sexy beast had to become my Avatar:

Spoiler

Which was another six months.

After which I proceeded to play Tsukihime and started my current chain of avatars, each a different character in the game, for about a month and a half each.

 

[DanielBrown]

Had this one since about a month after I joined. Someone copied my then current avatar and I wanted something unique that no one would ever think about taking, so I went with a slightly altered picture of myself.

As for my favorite among other avatars it's hard to say. As long as they aren't MLP or fast paced/annoying .gifs they're all good.

 

[Colour Scientist]

That one? I'm glad you changed. I was afraid to blink whenever I saw your posts.

What makes you think that it's safe to blink now?

Beware the Stevie Nicks.


OP:

I just realised that you asked us about other people's avatars.

The looped Gary Busey gif has always been a favourite of mine; I have no idea what the guy's username is though.

 

[Drummodino]

Back when I rarely posted (2011 - mid 2013) I was a carved watermelon with a sunhat. Lost that image when I changed unfortunately.

I've had Kyoko for a while now, but the one I had the longest is my dancing Kasane Teto gif.

Spoiler

If anyone wants the source, here [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29-q7YnyUmY]. Turn off annotations.

Other than that I've had a couple of Yosuke Hanamura. Will probably go back to him when Ultimax and Q come out later this year.

EDIT: There are a bunch of good avatars on here, but I've always liked [user]TizzytheTormentor[/user]'s Happy gifs (even though I don't watch Fairy Tale).

Bah. I can handle Stevie Nicks. We've teamed up to defeat The Doctor before, you see.

 

[somonels]

Since always to forever, as I don't bother setting one. I have this one because [user]JoJo[/user] said something in a topic somewhere.

 

[Euryalus]

<-- the original and still the best. Haven't changed it yet and don't intend to.

Not even during april fools? You could whip out a random sea turtle or something.

OT: I've had a few, but previously I had several with a clown mask that I cycled through.

Initially this Majora's Mask one was supposed to be a short term thing. I made it to practice blending backgrounds better in gimp. I ended up liking it a lot for whatever reason though... For whatever reason apart from the fact that it's majora's mask I mean. It's one of my favorite games.

Spoiler

And ultimately villain when you realize the mask was controlling the Skull kid from the start rather than just being a powerful artifact.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Probably from whenever I started using this one 'till now. I used to use a Goku avatar, but I changed it because I no longer felt worthy to wear it.

 

[lacktheknack]

I used a Starcraft Medic avatar for... like... over a year when I first arrived.

Then I used a Cyriak "DNA Strands Made Of Heads" gif and the rest is history.

 

[Barbas]

(Snip).

Always link to that version. Why? Because it's better to ask forgiveness than to seek permission. XD
