[i]After 6 months of being member of myLot, I finally decided to change my avatar. The Avatar is still my son. The picture is one of his latest pictures. I just want to see him every time I open myLot. How about you mylotters, do you change your avatar often? How do you choose your avatar or what's the reason behind the avatar why you chose it?[/i]

Hello red_amethyst! I have been here for 5 months but so far, I never tried to change my avatar yet. I guess I will never will because that's how my mylot friends knew me.

I have changed my avataar only once since the time i joined. The first avatar was the default mylot avatar and then changed it to the current one about 7-8months back. I have not felt the need to change it from this one.

Hi red. I'm here about a year and I never change my avatar. I like animals so much mostly felines LOL. It is why I chose this picture for my avatar. Have a good day.

Your new Avatar is cute! I have not changed my Avatar eversince. I think I'd stick to it for the time being as I could not find a better one that could very well depict my personality. Besides, I am too busy and rushing with time so I'd rather answer some discusssions first as my time here is quite limited.

I usually change mine for the Season or Holiday. I missed Valentine's Day but will probably change it for Easter.

There was a time where I used to go in and change my Avatar to a Holiday symbol for whatever holiday was coming up, but I seemed to notice not getting as many responses and such, so I switched back to my main avatar (which is a picture of me), and have not switched it since. I know this picture on here is almost 3 yrs. old now, but it is me, and I am not ashamed to show myself off to others at all.

Foremost, I have to say that I've noticed the change in your avatar. As always, I have been away from mylot community for the weekend because I stayed at home. And this morning when I chanced upon your profile together with 1 of the discussions you've started, I learned that you decided to change your avatar. Not that I mean anything, but for me, I prefer your previous avatar although as you said, both are pictures of your son. Please don't get offended, okay. Anyway, I guess there is something scary about placing one's real-life photo; and this goes to some people. Another reason might be the fact that they choose not to be known by everyone. Or, they prefer segregating their real friends from the online ones. Admittedly, I didn't place my picture here right away until after some time. Frankly, this isn't my photo but this is my daughter's. I do miss her because most of the time, she is with my parents in the province while my spouse (her dad) and I work here in the city. 'Til next post! Regards.

Hello red. In my two years here in mylot, I never did change my avatar. Maybe, if I last for 5 years here in mylot, I would change it. Kidding aside, I like/ love my avatar and have no plans of changing it yet. Good day my friend...

What a great picture of your son! I can fully understand why you chose that one, lol. I don't think I ever changed my avatar, except from the original one they give you to the picture I have now. Too lazy I suppose, lol;)

Hi Red, I haven't change my avatar since the day I joined, about 8 months (I think). I can't find any that I like better than this. The picture is of 2 faces - it's me, having dual personalities, one for work, and the other for home and friends.

I was just thinking of asking this question and looked it up to see if anyone has brought it up....so of course I have to answer it... LOL I will change mine every couple months... at first it throws me off since it is new, but I havent changed mine yet... I like to do different avatars for the time of year or season... it seems to kinda fit my mood at the times...LOL happy mylotting.

Your son is adorable! The first 5 months after I joined mylot I must have changed my avatar picture a dozen times or more. I could never find one that I was happy with and I got bored with the picture quickly. It was my husband's idea to show a more sexy side of me and he took the picture of me that you now see back in the summer of 2007. Two days later I uploaded it on here and I've been using it as my avatar ever since. It's kind of become my trademark, you could say. I might change it eventually, but as I haven't changed much in a year and a half I'll keep it...for now.

I wouldn't dream of changing my Avatar. My avatar is my mylot Face. Why would I change my Face? Why would anyone want to change the Face all your friends know you by? I've heard of ridiculous things but this takes the cake. I'll stop now before I get carried away! Did I say "Ridiculous?"
