So, the "use someone else's old avatar" theme died pretty quickly. Post your suggestions for the next theme in this thread. Here's some suggestions so far from others:

- your favourite musician (dark_jedi, Ziggy Stardust)
- dogs, cats or other pets (Puggo, Mielr, mjpollard)
- yourself as a kid (Ripplin) or your own kids (Hotrod)
- superheroes
- SW-related avatars (bor-ing)
- famous people or celebs you have a resemblance to

Other possibilites:

- one of your old avatars run through some generic crappy photoshop filter to give it an embossed, pencil drawing or crayon look
- porn stars in action (face shots only - risky!)
- mug shots
- sprites from old videogames
- cover scan of the most embarrassing album you ever bought

However, events like this make me feel like returning to the Stressed Eric avatar...

I quite like the yourself as a kid one. Might have to go with that one if I ever get around to scanning my old photos.

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

I guess folks couldn't handle the confusion of seeing other people's "faces" with the wrong names. I suggested that purely to be flippant and unexpected, but it was fun while it lasted. ;)

Though I'm a bit intrigued by this porn star idea, actually . . . lol

Yes, the other people's avatar theme really made some people upset. Guess it was too much work to look at the name next to the avatar :p

I don't think we want action shots of porn star facials.

I kept getting confused by seeing MY OWN logo next to someone else's post. I like the kid one as well, I used one for a bit around here...

Didn't someone suggest everyone use xhonzi's avatar? Irregardless, I think it would be funny if we ALL use the same avatar, whatever it is.

I like the kid one. I also like that this whole avatar theme thing has actually picked up.

There. That's the only picture I have on my computer of me when I was a kid. (For the record, I'm inside a dog cage.)

I like that idea, so I am going to use that for a while, so I grabbed Riley Steele from Piranha.

Anyone know where I can find a picture of Professor Frink as either a little boy or as a porn star?

btw, Davnes007 has been using a porn star pic for as long as I can remember.

Threw my kid picture up.

Back from the day when Halloween costumes had to tell you who they were and show the picture of what you're supposed to look like.

How 'bout giving three suggestions and encourage everyone to pick one?

Well, certainly some decision needs to be made, because right now some people are using kid pics and some are using video game pics.

I'm not using either of those.
