How often do you change your avatar?

This is only my third month here and as yet haven't changed mine at all. I probably will at some stage but haven't any recent photos and think a true avatar is more friendly, you can see who you are having a discussion with. Love your new updated one by the way. Ellie :D

Oh hello I did not recognise you for a minute! lovely photo. I have not changed mine since I figured out how to change it a few weeks ago. I keep meaning to look for something else but I have become quite attached to my little wolf so I may just hang on to it for a little longer yet and then try and see if I can find something I like more as I go along.

I am not changing mine. Mel Gibson will stay young for ever. I have been using it for four years. I had it on other forums before coming here.

I change my avatar really rarely. This is technically the third one I've had on this site since last January when I joined, and the first two were both very close to the same, only that one was animated and the other wasn't. My first two avatars were both Hanajima Saki from the anime Fruits Basket. I relate to her character a lot, and she has certain traits I really admire. I still use a picture of her as an avatar on Livejournal and a few other sites. I chose to stop using her for my avatar here largely because I've recently been obsessed with the anime Naruto, and specially the character Umino Iruka, who is featured in my avatar here. He is also chosen for character traits I admire and relate to. I originally expected to only use this avatar for a while and then switch back to Hanajima, but I can't seem to make myself do it. Before I joined mylot, I used a character named Fam from Ruin Explorers on multiple sites for years. I finally sort of outgrew her, I think. I always use anime characters instead of real pictures of me, because part of what I like about the internet is that I get to know people intellectually more so than what they physically look like, so while I have a picture of myself on my profile, I want people to have to go look for it instead of it being the first thing they see when talking to me.

I like your new icon! The old was good too. I much prefer a reasonable representation of the person than all the other junk that so many hide behind online. The ones that I think are the worst are the folks that wouldn't dare post their own face but will plaster their kids all over the internet... I changed my myLot icon to a new pic a couple weeks ago in honor of my one year myLot anniversary. I think changing icons too often defeats part of their purpose. I choose my icons carefully and want to be recognized through it. It's your brand logo.

Hi friend i did not change my Avtar, itis like identification or I card for me on mylot. I do not want to change my identity on my lot otherwise my friends will be in confussion. I always wants to represent myself as the same.

I think I have changed mine a few times. The picture I have on mine in of my 5 year old neice.When she was here playing with my ex roomates or my friends that lived up stairs with their 2 kids.

I was changing mine on a regular basis until August of the past year and I really like this avator. The reason I had changed it in August 2007 was because that was my husband and my 35th wedding anniversary and it really pleases me to look at it as I am here at mylot. So I do think that this will be my avator from now on. I love the look of my husband and I together.

this is the second picture I posted! I'm still waiting to get a good one before replacing it again..I just love to have another picture once in a while!

I think I just get bored with mine and change it now and then. I like this recent one I took of my son so decided to post it. I'll probably change it to another one soon LOL That is a stunning photo of you kb :)

I've been on here for over a year and I've never changed my avatar. I think it's because I love stars so much...and Pleiades hosts a number of bright hot stars, even though I would never be able to find it in the night sky.

I have changed mine twice. Originally it was the cartoon fish. Then my present one. Briefly my daughter, and now back to the baby in the flower pot. But I have said this before about your photo/avatar. WOW.

You know Katherine, I do not know if I will ever change my Avatar hear. I like the image I picked, it suits me I think. I am a huge fan of the artist. Plus if people want they can see the real me on my profile page. I have the 2 picks you have seen from other sites. But this Avatar for now anyway really represents how I feel when on Mylot. Oh and I have seen this pic of you before as well. I like both of your pics. for your Avatars.

I need to know how to change my avatar and cannot find any info on mylot regarding that.I would like something that shows I am a woman and not a guy. help

I Have No Changes in My AVATAR. This Picture is Hear from the begning . Well this is not My Personal PIX.

i dont change it often. :) i actually had this since i was a member of the site and have not changed since. Maybe it is a bit of time for a change soon :) i need to find a good one though.

I've used my current avatar for the past 9 months. It was taken a day or 2 before I uploaded it on here and started using it. Before using this one I changed my avatar often. I had maybe 8 or 9 different ones in 5 months time, most of them being scenic or pet pictures. So using the same one for 9 months is a record for me. LOL I'll eventually change this one, but for now I am happy with it. PS Your new avatar looks great!

Hi kbourgerie! I hardly change my avatar. I've been here for almost a year (and was inactive for more than 3months0 and I've only changed my avatar once. I'd like to change it since I've been active again but I'm having second thoughts cos the myLotters might not recognize me. LOL. I don't know, or maybe I just gotten used to my avatar right now which is taken almost 3 years ago. Hehe!

I haven't changed my avatar yet since I join here. I am afraid that my friends can't recognize me, and this is the main reason I don't want to change my avatar.

I never do because it lets people know it's me visually.
