Guess I make some sort of contribution here then, even though you can count my posts on your fingers and toes ;)
Cheers everybody!
Someone should save and rehost all these pictures so when we change them back, we'll have a record of the fun we had for future generations.

Wait... what pictures?
IT'S MY TRILOGY, AND I WANT IT NOW!

I'm already doing that, in case I forgot what someone looked like ;-)
Maybe you can upload them and send the links to Anchorhead and he can keep them in the first post.

Great idea...I would hate to forget what I look like.
I would hate not to; you really turned out to be an ugly old coot!

Don't forget happy!
How could you not fall in love with that face?!
Well, I hope I don't miss anyone. I guess I'll send them when this is all over :-)
Perhaps it would be proper to get permission from people previous to posting their pictures perpetually .
maybe a Brady bunch style montage?

Yeah, I was actually thinking that too.

I've already saved as many as I could. I was thinking of doing some sort of 'shopped image with them. Kicking around a few ideas.

I agree.
What seems most weird about all this, but actually kind of nice, is that others around here responded in kind. I only started the thread to show how much I've changed since 1981 (a picture I had posted previously in a different thread). It was not at all to get others to do the same, but they did anyway. In fact, the thought never crossed my mind.
It's also been a sobering reminder of how much time has passed since I first sat in the theater in 1977. It damn goes by in a flash, man.
I think it's cool that it got some non-off topic regulars to visit off-topic, if only briefly.
The "what's with the avatars" questions on other parts of the forum have been fun too.
You mean...someday I'll be as old as Anchorhead?
*sobs*
Feel free to flaunt my fetching face on the first post (or whatever you guys want to do)
I actively attest to your abundant affinity for amazing alliteration.

Yeah, you can throw my ugly mug up there too
Yeah, me too. I'm pretty sure the feds or whoever aren't going to track down a 3-year-old or whatever I am there.
You can put mine up, too. It's up to you whether you want to use this one or the sandwich one (which can be found in the "what have you been eating" thread).
I vote for the sandwich. I usually do....
I think anyone who posts their picture on a public messageboard implicitly gives up any rights to control it, and I think most people recognize this, so I wouldn't be aware of offending anyone, Anch. Anyone comfortable enough to change their avatar won't care about a well-intentioned bit of fun using it.
This got me thinking...
I know I'm kind of bursting the happy-go-lucky vibe around here saying this...
But does anyone have a picture of Laserman? I feel like we need a memorial for him. I mean, we all know he's dead right? It's something that only a couple people sort of uncomfortably acknowledge. He was a huge part of OT.com history--hell, as far as I know, he came up with the term GOUT, which ironically may be his most lasting legacy. Do we have a face to go with the handle? Or a real name maybe?
