As we know, there are many themes to the Dakka user's avatar, and occasionally, they change. I propose that for February, we change our Avatars to ourselves!

I have set an example by making me my Avatar. I am doing what I do most often, plotting to take over the world.

So to recap; To support sociality in Dakka, change your avatar to yourself, so we are looking at the real you, not a image!

What are you talking about? I've got an image of myself as my avatar already.

Alright, I am in.

Done.

I always was, admittedly I'm in my wrestling mask.

If you're the world's first British Luchador, I'll be excited.

oh no i was no luchador, just a fat baddie in a mask.
however google my mate "El Ligero", he's faced many top wrestlers from around the world, inc. Ultimo Dragon. he's awsome but don't tell him i said that the ego doesn't need feeding.

Mine is accurate is well. I am nothing more than a sentient Windows Error.

I would say mine is me, but that might come off creepy

If that's what you look like I'm not letting you anywhere near my house. I spent way too long punching enough trees to build it.

Done. Sorta.

If I did the internet would break. Sorry chowder.

Come on Luco! Do it! Cave to the pressure!

Le Grognard wrote:Done. Sorta.

Your eyes are being attacked by a black bar.

Mine is fairly accurate.

Edit: You just wanted to show off that hat didn't you chowder?

I fear the resulting torrent of facial hair would be most perturbing.

Since you asked nicely (and because I took this one recently).

Only me in Avatars since they were enabled back in late 2000 to mid 2001.

You realize that would mean the end of dakka, google, youtube, and everything else right? Pitty the mirrors that instantly combusted upon having to reflect the image that is me. Anyway, I might, but it'll be like my eye or something.

Have you seen King Cracker?

mines allready me !

Alright, I played ball, where's the army you promised me?

I'll play.

Done!

Obviously it's a man pretending to be a girl. This is interwebz 101 dude. Also, fine, I give. I'm the little white thing.

Why is it my "creepy meter" goes off when people start asking teenage boys to post pictures of themselves in threads like this?

I'm just saying...

I am getting a very..

"Hi, I'm Chris Hansen.." vibe here.

Are you peado-bear?

Bah, I gave in.

This is me.....

I've practically always been in my avatars since my joining

Too many offers for dates? Being the Dakka hotgurl is hard work.

I'm not helping, am I?

Hmmm should i unmask myself......

A better question would be if I had a decent photograph of myself.

Sure, why not

Man, now I wish I HAD seen her. Then I would get what the joke is about.

She's a women (from a country with a red white and blue flag, but I dont know which), I mean really, she cant be so hot people would be willing to fly across the planet to meet her. I dont think any women is THAT hot.

I just want to clarify that BrookM is an incredibly beautiful -- although, tragically, lonely -- young woman who happens to like all the same things you like. She probably also needs defending on the internet. Isn't there someone out there who will give this poor (but exceptionally ravishing) girl a little bit of attention???

Is there no such thing as an avatar-tranny macro? And if not, why not?

Done. This photo is in No way obscene BTW. Without the full size image however it does look somewhat suspicious....

Inspecting an appendix scar?

I think I can get behind this. I'm not usually this beardy though, but I decided to grow one and share it with the birds as can be seen by the egg in my beard. I do sort of regret it now though. They're not the best beardmates.

My first avatar lasted about a week, then was replaced by a blurry picture of myself taken back in freshman year. Oh God... that means that picture is 4 or 5 years old. I've completely lost my sense of time.

I don't think I have any recent pictures of myself. Clearer and more recent than my avatar, sure, but within the past year? I'm not sure. Being that I'm unreasonably man-pretty, I'll let the blurry picture suffice, lest the almost exclusively male population of Dakka be forced, completely helpless, to *cough* bat for the other team.

Alright, this is the greatest conspiracy every played on dakka. But who is behind it? I blame Manchu.

Smashing idea. Avatar uploaded.

What conspiracy? BrookM is a beautiful lady. Just ask her!

Now, now, let's not cultivate O.G.O.T.I. syndrome...

What aboot Samus?

Some days I wish I could punch people in the throat over TCP/IP.

Put all the fancy helmets and stubble in your avatar that you want Brooke - you're not fooling anyone! You're a hot-bodied brunette and we all know it!

Oh woe is me brave commisar, let me just put on some goggles and apply some nose plugs before the next tide of digital spunk swamps little old me.

But as we all well know, the goggles do nothing

They do not..

I blame Manchu for this.

Yep. May as well change your avatar back to a pic of yourself.

It is a lit cigarette in my Belly button. Just realised that this and my Facebook Profile Pic both have unintentional adverts for fizzy lager in them. Oh dear.

EDIT: The offending FB profile pic. Note the distinctly unimpressed, jaded, expression.

Downhill is the new uphill. Roll with it.

(See what I did there. That was a joke that was. )

The day when IP throat punching is finally implemented will be a glorious day.

Well I'm traumatised. Man its good to have access to a laptop again and see all of your (quite disturbing) images .

I would post up a picture of myself but I'm afraid I'm still paying for the broken computer, sadly.

Yeah, alright.

Pretty much the only picture of me not drinking/drunk/passed out/hungover.

Done for that. Now to see if I have my old avatar saved somewhere...
