View Full Version : Anybody else turn off avatars?
It started at work, to make things a little less conspicuous. I don't miss'em at all. Prefer it that way actually. What say you?

I turned them off the day I signed up. Just show me the details. Save the extra crap.
I'm so thankful there's no huge animated signatures here too.

Turn em off the day they were instated. They're like a status symbol here, so F that noize.

I like them. Having said that, I've decided NOT to have one for a while.
Some are funny. Some interesting. It's an expression of self.

I agree, avatars are pretty annoying. Especially the ones that show a picture of the person posting. How friggin' egotistical can you get?

Little things like avatars don't annoy me, in fact, I enjoy them. If they annoy you, though, by all means, turn 'em off.

There are forums that I just can't deal with because of the avatars. I like them here..they aren't too big, and they are all pretty tasteful, despite jazzandmetals looking like a big vajayjay..:D
