How often do you change your avatar?

Asked by mangeons (12288points) January 28th, 2009

I change mine all the time. I just get bored of them! What drives you to change yours?

I should change it now since I just went DARK brunette, but I don’t have a good pic yet.

I haven’t changed mine since it morphed from a jelly to Snowman Bono back a year ago.

I just signed up 15 minutes ago, so once every 15 minutes

Depends, sometimes ill have the same avatar for a long time, others will last only a couple weeks. I think im gonna be rockin doom on a unicorn for a bit. It is pretty bad ass after all :P

Well, I’ve had a bunch, but I’d say the average is every month or so. I plan on keeping my dear Clara Bow here for a while. My face might make a comeback. We’ll see. :)

It all depends on how the wind is blowing.

@Judi: WHAT?!

mangeons's avatar

I like your face, Asmonet!

Judi's avatar

@asmonet ; almost black!

bodyhead's avatar

Twice but only because you couldn’t really tell what the old warning sign was. I can’t see the avatars anyways. Most often I check this site through elinks which is a text only internet browser.

@Judi: WHY?! (I’m sure you’re positively lovely, darling. I’m just so accustomed to that sunshine smile portrait I just can’t handle it! You look like a flower child all growed up!)

@mangeons: Teehee! Thank you. Like I said, I needed a break, my orange mug may just make a comeback, or a new one! DUN DUN DUN!

Rarely, but I have done it.

mangeons's avatar

gasp MARINA changes her avatar??

@asmonet Ooh! ooh! Make a BLUE mug.

asmonet's avatar

@mangeons: I will take it under serious consideration! :)

@Marina: When did that happen? =O

marinelife's avatar

Laugh, clowns, laugh. I would change it more often, but I am not all that technically proficient. I wanted to use a pic of one of my dogs, but did not like the way it thumbnailed.

mangeons's avatar

gasp ME? A clown? Surely you must speak of some other mangeons, Marina!

marinelife's avatar

@mangeons There could be no other. You are unique. ;)

mangeons's avatar

In my own special ways, I suppose I might be. :D

AstroChuck's avatar

Seldom. I have on a couple of occasions but I always come back to my original.

onesecondregrets's avatar

Every time a new, spectacular picture of myself is taken. Or like, when I’m bored of the current one.

AstroChuck's avatar

Wait a minute. Did Marina just call mangeons a eunuch?

asmonet's avatar

I’m particularly fond of Reindeer Chuckie.

Oh my! My avatar changed! =O

mangeons's avatar

Yay! Asmonet’s face is back!!! :D

mangeons's avatar

I liked Reindeer Chuckie too. :)

augustlan's avatar

Rarely. Jeruba made me a holiday one that was quite nice. Once the holidays were over, back to boring I went! I am thinking about changing up the font on my ‘A’, though. Some people seem to find it imposing :)

omfgTALIjustIMDu's avatar

Nope, I’ve had the same one since the day I joined over two years ago. I’ve thought of changing it a couple times, but I can’t bring myself to actually do it.

mangeons's avatar

@omfgTALIjustIMDu Underneath all that you, you’re just a nostalgic fool. :)

marinelife's avatar

Quit yer agitatin’, AC!

I, of course, have no idea of the nature of mangeons’ being.

I merely said there was no one like mangeons. :)

gimmedat's avatar

I change my avatar whenever I Fluther on my laptop rather than my iPhone, which isn’t very often. I do have a nice little collection of avatars, though.

aprilsimnel's avatar

I hadn’t even thought of changing mine yet, as I adore Baby JoeJoe. I suppose when it happens it’ll be on a whim.

But can I say here that I lurve tinyfaery’s avatar? It’s like hands and cute bug feets at the same time!

dynamicduo's avatar

Never have, doubt I will.

chyna's avatar

I’m pretty sure Asmonet changes hers at least 3 times a week!

Jeruba's avatar

So, @TenaciousDenny, it’s been three hours. Have you made 12 changes yet? :D (And welcome.)

I’ve changed mine for special occasions (Christmas Santa hat, New Year’s champagne glass), and the other night I flipped Cate’s face to look to the right because I got bored with left-facing. I can see making some seasonal changes now and then. But I like recognizability (I came in when daloon was a cornet, and I like that better!), so I don’t want to change too much.

@augustlan, your A is classic. Never go Comic Sans!

lefteh's avatar

I’ve never changed. My face is just too beautiful….

mangeons's avatar

Lefteh! I haven’t seen you around in awhile. Where have you been hiding? :)

lefteh's avatar

In the land of work, school, and the hospital.

mangeons's avatar

The hospital?

Foolaholic's avatar

Anytime I get re-inspired, I just have to change it. I just put the bunny in place, because I got one for Christmas and I love it!

AstroChuck's avatar

Damn, lefteh. I didn’t see that thread. Sorry for the medical crap you’re going through. I really hope things come out okay for you.

chyna's avatar

@lefteh I don’t know how I missed the hospital thread. Glad you are back and hope you are feeling much better.

aprilsimnel's avatar

@lefteh – Hi. We haven’t met. But I’m glad you’re OK nonetheless and I hope you’re doing better!

lefteh's avatar

Thanks guys. I appreciate it. I’ll post any updates I have on that thread.

mangeons's avatar

Oh, I totally missed that thread! Feel righteh, lefteh! :D

bridold's avatar

I actually just changed mine for the first time. The same reason as @Judi, I colored my hair and also chopped it all off.
