After a while of using mylot, you automatically have some "familiar faces" so to say : friends, people you interacted with, persons you like/dislike, etc. How do you spot them in a discussion you participate in? Do you first notice the avatar, or the name? Personally i notice the avatars and i find it very confusing when certain people change them a lot. It's happened before for me to answer to a discussion and afterwards realizing i knew the participants or starter of the topic, but because their avatars were changed i noticed it too late. What about you? Do you think the avatar is of a big importance? Do you change it a lot, or just stick to one? Do you think the avatar influences your reputation?

I honestly don't look at familiar faces here in mylot. I response to them if I find it interesting or I have the same queries and story as well. Looking at avatar and try to responds with their discussion even if its not what your interest of will somehow shows on your response.

I see a number of names I recognize, even if they change thier image I still know thier names, I like them because of thier insight into various discussions and the topics they create. The names don't really matter because many people are from different countries and sometimes thier names make little sense to me, however to them the names are important. Some user names I don't care for but I try to look past it. I think some names all depend on a persons age, like Sexygurl for example would probably be a younger single woman looking for a man or a name like HotGuy would be seeking a single woman. The Avatar to me means little, what I call beautiful to you may find ugly. My picture is of the American Pine Marten, so if you don't like small rodents that resemble weasels then you may not like my picture but if you like cute animals then its a bounus for me I guess. There are a few images that do bother me but I try to see past them too. A name is just a name and here I think we should "Judge" according to content of our discussions/responses!
