When I first joined the Escapist--back long ago in the distant days of mid summer--I changed avatars several times before settling on:
Then came election season and I became comfortable with The Great Old One:
Now I'm edging back to my favorite theme of wicked and/or evil Bunny Avatars:
But the cost of having a new avatar, more often than not, is not being recognitized by the Community. How many here noted or commented when Fappy changed his long used Mao Avatar? His current one is a Mao that looks like it's dying of a fever...pity.
I've realized that I learn others' names only after I become redundantly familiar with their Avatars. Often I'll fail to recognize someone who's changed their Avatar for quite some time.
When I learn to make gifs I may settle down, but maybe not.
Do you play around with your Avatars (so to speak) or do you try to settle on one for the Recognition Factor?
