Default What exactly is an Avatar, and what is it's proper purpose?

As I struggle to break my addiction to H-T, I found myself thinking that maybe something was missing, and that it was because I was unable to achieve closure that I continue to come here with termination provoking frequency.

Sure, for a long time I thought "Humph, avatars! Those are for freeks and goons." But maybe I was to quick to judge. Many of my friends have avatars after all. Some are pretty cool. Some are in your face. Some are simply perplexing.

So I've selected my first avatar. Hmm, "first" avatar. Is one committed to ones avatar? Is it right to just go changing something of such possible importance?

What do you think my avatar says about me. Or, putting it slightly differently: "How do you like me now!"

Scott, who this far into it thinks that this is just another dead end on the road thru addiction......."the hills are alive with the sound of........VTEC"......

I wouldn't be so sure you were wrong the first time. Maybe you've just now realized your place in life.

After all, anyone who likens Celtic Apple Bonkers to Honda-Tech HAS to be a bit loony.

who is going to change his avatar to something less ironic the moment his world stops redefining "ironic"....

I don't know why I want a Blue Meanie avatar......I just do.

I'm really a nice guy once you get to know me......unless I don't like you.

Avatars are like user names near as I can tell......try to choose one wisely.....yeah right!

Scott, who doesn't dare think about race car graphics....not sure I should drive around in a giant Rorschach expose of some inexplicable facet of my inner self....

Yeah, I kinda like it too. Here's an idea: Chris in Scottsdale seems to be missing out on the experience of being owned. How can we help him?

Scott, who is always thinking of ways to help others......

I preferred the monkey as well.

Something about Scott and a screaming monkey just worked. I'm not really sure why.
Something about a free ride when you've already paid?

Well, at the very least RJ should give Crack Monkey the avatar. He'd at least appreciate it unlike some people around here.
