Has anyone got their avatar printed on credit cards or bank cards? That would be good. Some banks offer that these days.

But then I'd have to change bank cards every 3 months… ;)

Sorry, HJ, but it's [i]that [/i]time of year. Secret Santa :santa3: has brought many of us a whole new bunch of avatars, to be worn throughout the coming month. It'll all work out just fine afterwards, though (maybe... :unsure: ), as most will revert to their 'real' guise :ph34r: for February. I just thought it best to warn you B) ; meanwhile...
All change, folks, and Merry Christmas..! :lol: :P

Don't worry Jack, I'll never change mine.

:)

Edit to add that I'm happy you did away with the terrible Canon mug. Everyone knows Nikon mugs are a lot better.

All that time and effort spent matching up forum names to avatars, and in some cases even noting their real names, and then people go and change their bloody avatar!

Why?

What's wrong with you?

Are you so bored that you could find nothing else to do today?

We need a software update. Any avatar left unchanged for a year and a day should be autoconverted into an Avatar Tattoo that cannot be changed or amended without a long and expensive treatment.

That'll show the bastards.

ps: Just in case Dad3353 thought this might be aimed him, damned right it is!

;) :lol:

These are called smiley faces. They mean that there's no need for anyone to take this too seriously. :rolleyes:

On the other hand, it the cap fits ... :ph34r:

Ok I'd have never mentioned it before, but since you brought it up...Jack, that avatar of yours is without a doubt the gayest Spider Man I have ever seen. But hey - not that there's anything wrong with that :P!

Just to remind all of you that it's SECRET SANTA time, and therefore soon AVATAR UPDATE TIME.
Yes!
Only one day to go, so hurry up if you're interested, and register in its thread:

So, is it a requirement to modify your avatar every year?
[/quote]

Just in case it's a serious question:
Nope. It's just that some people on BC participate in Secret Santa - http://basschat.co.uk/topic/296150-well-jingle-my-bellsits-time-for-basschat-secret-santa-already/ - and that some of those again follow the idea of having a pic of the secret santa gift as their avatar - traditionally until the end of January, but I've seen many examples of people keeping the avatar for a whole year.
My own gloriously beautiful, intriguingly intriguing and weirdly tantalising avatar is an example of the latter.

There better not be any more of those really irritating moving ones :angry:

Irritating animated GIFs can be banished with the use of an Ad Blocker. Simply right-click the avatar in question and open it in a new window. Then copy the resulting URL into your Ad Blocker's banned list. You'll never see it again.

I changed mine in mid 2012 cus i was asked too...
it was the dancing girl with the tattoos
so i changed it to the dancing chickin,
i like the funky chickin better anyway, its exactly how i dad dance even without beer. :D

But on a more meaningfull level....

I like to think Its also a bit of a nod to rufus thomas, as that was the song he defied all the police and organizers requests of trying too keep all the predominantly black audience in their seats.
If ever there was an autobiography that should of been written,
Go Go Go rufus. gotta love them boots. :lol:

I've used other avatars in the past, but was asked to change them.

I have no idea why.
