On KB, as on other sites, the avatar is the person. It is a thumbnail sketch of what that person wants others to think. Avatars can run the gamut of photography or animation. Some people are known on many sites by their avatar, that is, if they choose to maintain the same one. Others, myself included, just adopted one from a menu provided by the board. And then there is our favorite Mod Gia's avatar. Probably the only avatar guaranteed to get a man, or a woman, as the case may be, excited.
If you so choose, why not let members know why you chose the avatar that you use. And if you like certain avatars, now is the place to let them know. I think we can have some fun with this.
Watcher here will change his avatar soon, to align more closely with his name.
