Agreed, historically I have never messed with using avatars in the 20+ years I've been online, and I'm not sure I can quickly get used to it now. I went and found this one in response to Mr Valdez mentioning how he prefers ones that refer to our nicks....My nick is so horribly generic it's tough to find one that refers to it in one little picture.
Here's some others to play with if interested: Spoiler: Spoiler for size ----------------------------------------------------------------
Of course, the Abide one will quickly get know by all, and fits a Staff Member as will -- and matches the Staff ribbon and red theme of cfnet and I like this too
I wonder if the girl who I have in my avatar picture even knows she's a legend on Clutchfans.... Things that make you say "hmmmmm"
