I haven't been here that long, but long enough. When I see someone with the standard avatar I assume they are new. Once someone changes their avatar I figure they are serious about this place and they are going to stick around. Change your avatar, get more friends, and more of your discussions will get responses. :)

I agree. There are a lot of members with the standard one and I also feel bored when I look at those. I think its nice to have your own avatar. Another thing, have you see some are useing the same avatar as another? I think this should be stopped cos avatar shows your individuality and when two three people use the same one, the purpose is lost.

I've noticed that too. Someone who just joined (no names will be mentioned) stole the avatar of someone else who's been around a long time. At first I thought it was the same person until I started reading her stuff. Seems pretty rude to me to steal someone else's image.

You know, you're probably right about that. I never linked my avatar to the fact that I started getting more responses here on Mylot, but that might have been at least part of it. I was just too busy and excited about posting all day long for me to bother changing it (especially since I am not that visual of a person and don't really worry about things like avatars that much, lol *laugh*) until I hit at least 500 posts. Of course, for me that was only about five days, lol! ^_~ But yes I do believe that i started to get more replies after I changed to my snowflake avatar. I thought that it was just because I had more friends on my list by then and I posted some slightly more interesting topics. But yep, I really do think that my avatar probably helped, as well. Looking now at people who haven't changed theirs yet does give me a feeling that they are new.

Thats exactly what I tell people when they ask how to get more responses. I always suggest that they get an avatar. I don't mean to, but I tend to pass over the standard ones. I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. I think people get noticed more with their own avatar.
