Great stuff!
 

I guess the title may be a bit misleading but I wanted to compliment everyone with the graphics that come up with posts. What I mean is the little things like the slinky and Mike off ridalin. I know there is a good word to use to describe them but I can't think of it. Anyway, just thought I'd let you guys know that I thought they were cool!

Thanx. I knew someone would help me out of that moment.

I like my new avatar. And for the record, this is a post meant to increase my post count.

Re: Avatar's
 

So why are they called Avatar's, anyways? Never heard of the word until this site, and was just a little curious.

Maybe it's like a buddy icon thing. I think only AOHell, i mean AOL, uses that term. Avatar may be vBulletin's way of describing the same thing.

Webster's Definition:

Main Entry: av·a·tar
Pronunciation: 'a-v&-"tär
Function: noun
Etymology: Sanskrit avatAra descent, from avatarati he descends, from ava- away + tarati he crosses over -- more at UKASE, THROUGH
Date: 1784
1 : the incarnation of a Hindu deity (as Vishnu)
2 a : an incarnation in human form b : an embodiment (as of a concept or philosophy) often in a person
3 : a variant phase or version of a continuing basic entity

~In other words, a representation of yourself (really should be some powerful thing though, but in this case, you get the point).

A bit simpler: If you ever see the show Andromeda, the ship's brain itself has a humanoid body. That is the ship's avatar.

How ironic that my representation is by Chuckie, Dil, Angelica, & Spike.

What does it say?
 

What does it say about me that my avatar is King Ghidrah, the three-headed monster from the planet Mars?

What's the deeper significance there?

Re: What does it say?
 

It says that you're a three headed monster from the Planet Mars. Duh! :p Hmm...maybe not...you've only got one head...so, you can just be a one headed monster from the planet Mars? That seems to make more sense. I always knew you were too weird to be from Earth anyway. Yes, and all of the sudden things seem to make more sense about you. :)
