Well, I can't think of a single good poster that uses the dollar sign avatar.

wtf? why do you discriminate against avatars? thats the dumbest thing i have ever heard and it looks like a lot of people do. wtf does someone's avatar have to do with that person, especially when the avatars are limited and provided by AT.

this proves that people are inherently stupid

I still don't get this. I've never changed my avatar, and I've got the trout.

I like crabs, eagles, and cows. Cows are the best, most of us just chill.

American flags can be asshole-like sometimes

I also do like some people becuase they have the same avatar as say Rossman...or lets say Olds or EagleKeeper or someone...

I picked an Eagle when I finally signed up here because of So and other cool eagle dudes..

Name some people that disgrace or make popular an avatar...?

<obligatory, I disgrace the eagle avatar comment> ;)


not to mention when you see Mosh's hot avatar IMO it makes her seem like she is really hawt in real life, hance if she posts she gets tons of responces becuase of all the hormone driven teenagers who are trying to suck up ;)...or just peeps who entered this thread becuase they saw mosh in the title...point proven

no offence to Mosh if she is hot or not or w/e...I need pics ;) (BTW i do hope you are a women, of not, see my "are you a man with a women's avatar"


I also wonder if I changed my avatar to a blonde chick, I would have the cliche "more fun" type of thing

hmm, I might do some field research on this...;)
shaddup :p

And since you havent proved otherwise, what can we infer from that?
and another fine example of stupidity
An intelligent, direct question you were incapable of answering?
If you dont know what intelligence is, why do you feel the need to crap on other peoples?
Or did I just answer my own question?
Not sure, if only someone could explain it to me.

Off course I'm avatar biased. People who have chosen the same avatar as I get a head start on all the rest of you lamers (muhahaha). :p
But for real now, I'm ok with most avatars, but there are a couple of stupid ones (*thinking about what I just wrote*... ok, stupider) which do get me perhaps a little less focused when reading that person's post/reply, though I'm not going to mention which ones.

whenever I see the old white-haired dude with glasses I immediately think "ROLLO!! grrr" then remember he's on vacation

if I see the dollar sign I think of JLGatsby, ugh, and then remember that he too is on vacation

Then I think of the yellow nuclear logo and thing "O YUK that SparkyJJO guy...!" then realize o yeah that's me :p

I was the official thread-killer here till you bumped it.

Well, what we have here is pure fear you see.
I was going to ask something similar regarding avatars, and then I started dreading the "ATOT repost troopers" (these guys memorized every thread ever posted on ATOT, and they just can't wait for you to make their day), so I decided to make a through search this time.. :eek:
