Not sure if anyone else gets this, but there are certain avatars that *** me off because some users that use them regularly *** me off.

Prejudice via avatar. I guess that's what happens when we all have to use the same ones.

    Seriously though, that's the kind of narrowminded thinking that is wrong with the world.
    It's like thinking all americans are the same, or all whites are the same, etc, etc.

    It's just an avatar. It is an reflection of taste or experience sure, but thinking "only *** likes x" is completely wrong. That kind of thinking will only hold you back in life.

    I personally don't hate anyone on the forums, or get an influenced impression because of the same avatar being used by people. However, I DO mistake some as other users until I read the name, so its only a split second thing. When I see people with the avatar I use, I do a double take sometimes thinking "I don't remember posting in this thread" :D
    Edit: And yes I agree with others in this thread and the many other threads and users in the past who have asked for custom avatars :)

    Yup. I've hated this aspect of this forum since beta. I'm a visually-oriented person, so I rely on visual cues to distinguish people. Makes in hard when at least a dozen prominent forum users are using any given avatar. I think this hamstrings any feeling of community here, since no one can really completely personalize their profile when everyone looks the same.

    It works in reverse, too... I always feel alarmed when someone else using my avatar says something I disagree with. Like... what if they confuse that poster for me?!

    So yeah. You're not alone, OP.

    Living vicariously through my characters.

    My Girls:
    "If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"

    Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
    Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
    Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
    Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
    Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
    Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
    Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
    Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
    Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
    Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
    Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
    Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
    Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
    Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
    Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
    Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
    Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"

    Nah, Focused and channelled hate can be one of the strongest ways to focus on specific tasks, kinda forces your mind into a "get things done" attitude. ^^

    Better than paying some idiot whos just going to throw documents at you and make you fill them out to see if you "fit" a certain type of person and go from there. Circles upon Circles..
