	The Avatar Critique and Appraisal Thread Suffering from ads?

DO THE POLL!

Imran: Great pic, needs to change the sig. If you don't know it's Arafat, you ain't qualified for the OT.

Agathon: Take that velvet painting of Jesus in your grandmother's trailer, replace with Che Guevara as drawn by Warner Sallman. Voila!

Chegitz: Surely there are better ways you can express your Redness, isn't there? Where's that vomit smilie when you need it?

Pekka: Nice thing about Pekka's avatar is that it has always been Pekka's avatar. You don't need to read the name to know who is speaking.

Emperor Fabulous: An Apolyton Classic.

Ben Kenobi: Ben, Ben... what are we gonna do about you?

Kuciwalker: Another Apolyton Classic. Or so I'm told.

Monkspider: This is a solid avatar, one that will occasionally draw a snicker out of you. Good job!

Ming: I liked the B&W Ming the Merciless better... this one is kind of fey. I mean the look it's giving, it's like your avatar is saying "Kiss me you fool!"

DinoDoc: What the hell is that!?

GePap: For some reason, it fits.

Saras: What can I give a person who has his kid(s) as their avatar other than a ?

Molly Bloom: Definitely distinctive, but at the risk of sounding like an uncultured red stater...

... I don't get it.

Oerdin: Simple, clean, gets the message across. But you'll likely get interested in another cause and change your avatar, making us all have to think "Oh. That's Oerdin's new avatar. I was wondering what happened to him - I thought he left."

Likely true.

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

I still have this title as a holdover from the days when I was BD. I originally kept this so as to be recognizable to people who weren't aware of my name change. It's been years since that though, perhaps its time for a change of my avatar?

If you still think of your online self as "Black Dragon" then change your name back to "Black Dragon".

I change mine pretty much every day, but have a looksee. I'll probably keep this one for a few days.

His current avatar is part of their Mafia game in OG-forum.

It's a futuristic unit from Civilization: Call to Power. Molly hasn't spammed enough on-topic to reach Prince-status yet, you see.

@JohnT: I've always held that people who use xmas caps in their avatars outside of the month of december are irredeemably evil.

@Diss: I didn't notice you had changed your avvie till you said it.

Hey JohnT, why's your kid still dressed as santa? It's February. Or do you just keep the santa hat on her all year so that you don't have to be bothered with mothballing it or something?

No need to be embarrassed Dauphin, the avatar is me, the Xmas hat from 2002.

Loinburger: The greatest animated avatar EVAR! (And I'm not talking about Heston).

See, Starchild? I thought it was a cover of some science fiction novel.

Dauphin: Nice, but a little predictable. "Oh, I get it: Dolphin!" Maybe you can hunt up some obscure 17th-century aristocratic nobody and use him.

Ozzy: Babies rock, but my wife looked at your avatar a while ago and "tsk-tsk"'ed it. It gets your message across, but it's not a hit with the ladies. Not that that's a big worry around here.
