I know this has probably been done before, but avatars have changed. so who thinks they have the best avatar?

[snotty tone] I wish I could participate in this but I have to contribute to get one [/snotty tone]
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Moonbear's is my favorite.

Loren Booda has a cool one.

Hypnagogue's is pretty.

There are so many. I loved MIH's robot. SOS's donkey. Tsu's puppy with an attitude.

I like Gokul's.

Holly's fanged ferret was great.
 
I always liked Boulderhead's.
Janus has a cool avatar.
 
should we bring this into categories?

cool-
favorite overall-
pretty-
attitude-

am I missing anything?
 
There are probably a lot that I haven't seen yet, because I only go here or GP. There are a lot of really good ones. Overall, I think I have to go with Moonbear's because that was a poster that I loved years ago. The disparity of concepts in it is hilarious.
 
Evo's is the most beautiful avatar. Danger's is the ugliest .
 
Ok tell me ppl..Is there any way I can get an avatar without payin money?...comeon ..its just a .jpg image under your name?...this shouldn't involve money!

Danger's is the ugliest. I swear I almost threw up the first time I saw it.. (somehow, I've gotten used to it now)

Danger's avatar reminds me of a Magog. Nasty buggers they are. I wish Evo would put her other avatar back up, you know, the one in semi-profile with the raised eyebrows. :wink:
 
  • #15
Alkatrans is the best.
 
  • #16
I think there should be a thread about all kind of avatars:
great
frightening
disgusting
and of course ugliest one.(nobody will reply to this one)

Well, I was going to vote for your green guy, but now that you've gone and voted for yourself, I'll have to cancel that out with a vote for myself. :biggrin:

Who is it that has that big eyeball? That's a good one, though I always feel like they're watching me when I'm reading their posts. :smile:

Thanks. :blushing:
You should have seen the reactions of some of the folks I encountered out on the street when I was bar-hopping. :biggrin:

Hey, that's right. That resemblance somehow never occurred to me. The closest thing that I could think of was one of Glory's 'minions' from Buffy.

Kakarot: Those are good kitty pictures, but you could have warned us about the sound track. :-p
I just remembered one of the other ones that I really like: Rekon.

No, he left the country and canceled his membership.

I'm still confused as to what everything in danger's avatar is.

Is there any way to get an avatar without contributing?

No. That is one of the perks of being a contributor.

Boy, I'm going to have to talk to Greg about this. If you and Dr. Drain want one that bad, then perhaps we should raise the price!

:smile: I'm pretty sure a week's worth of salary from a paper route should cover it just fine.
