Great stuff!

[Carolyn Duncan]

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!
C~ya,

they are called Avatar's.

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.

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.

~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 about me that my avatar is King Ghidrah, the three-headed monster from the planet Mars?

What's the deeper significance there?

It says that you're a three headed monster from the Planet Mars. Duh! 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.

Another quote to put in the sig.

Where do you guys find them? I've ben looking at a few sites and can't decide what I want. I know that Eddie just steals David's, but really where should I look for more options?
