I don't have a picture because I feel who I am on the internet is a different person than the fleshy sack that is my soon to be corpse. In the real world I am a figure of anonymnity. Truely you can see me, and remember my face, but here I am InsomniacWolf. On xbox live I am InsomniacWolf. I am not meat, nor bone, nor flesh, nor soul. Here, I am simply a characterization of a dreaming cadaver.
Why not?

This isn't the same kind of thread. That's telling people to take a picture of themselves and put it on here. I was just wondering what peoples reasons were for not having a real picture. But as i stated it really doesn't matter to me if you do just...wondered.maddawg IAJI said:

This guy's who I'd like to be. I'd love to give up on trying to live a normal life and just go out and fight criminals, but I lack the dark past and combat training to do so. Give me ten years, and maybe.
Also, Facebook's linked (I think) so people can go see who I am. If it's not, it will be soon.

One reason there are no pictures of me on the internet is because I have no camera >.>
I do actually have a picture of myself, and I have a little challenge on my Formspring [http://www.formspring.me/Greyfox105] to have it revealed. But only if the challenge is beaten.
Otherwise I'll just delete it.

What people look like is of little concern to me, in both the virtual and real world, and I don't really get why people would be interested in seeing what I look like if they're not going to meet me in person. I would show pictures of myself if someone specifically asked -- I don't think I'd ever be an interesting enough target for identity thieves or such.
I dont reckon myself as Fugly, but I like to have a picture on a game forum of a game, hence my N7 mass effect pic.
Hi Mr. Google, I'm Capt. Crankypants, and I'm at the helm of this boat that we both seem to be in.
*Ahem* Anyway, I put a photo of myself for a few reasons.
1) First, (and most obviously) because I'm devestatingly handsome.
2) Because I take responsibility for the things I say, and am not a retarded troll.
3) As many funny Gifs as I have on my PC, none of them are the right size or are too large in filesize, and those that are don't adequately represent me.
There we go, class dismissed

No recent photos. I like this because it has generally no meaning and is as objective as I can bother to be while keeping a pic of something. And I like Fallout.
Thats true i actually remember seeing your picture way before i put mine as actually meCapt. Crankypants said:Hi Mr. Google, I'm Capt. Crankypants, and I'm at the helm of this boat that we both seem to be in.

Putting up a pic of myself never really bothered me, but avatars are the quickest representation of your interests so it makes more sense to me to have an anime char or some other picture up. If it's something slightly less well known it might even start up a conversation about the avatar and start a friendship.
I feel a large part of why people don't reveal their true identity on forums, online games, or the internet in general is that they no longer wish to be themselves after a day at work, classes, etc., and I think it's a large part of why forums and online games are so popular. When Erik Lawrence comes back from a string of exams, he doesn't want to be Erik Lawrence that evening; he wants to be Shado_Temple, the Huntsman Sniper. This form of escapism is what brought all of us here (videogames), and is why we would like to take on a different persona than that of which we use in real life. It provides the average person with a sense of renewed confidence; that they can be accepted for reasons other than those people normally judge upon in daily life.
I don't post pics of myself because if you've seen one white nerd in his mid thirties, you've seen 'em all.
