And yes, good old Graphite (Mike) did change mine. Flipped it upside down.

It's funny how this really does change the forum experience - at least for a bit. I find myself taking multiple glances at who said what - and it's just -- different. Would make for a good psych study (something Doug hears a lot...).

Agree!
I find occasional change stimulating. Mass change starts to get surreal. Not sure I could take a lot of continual change. It is amazing how much you come to identify an individual with his avatar.

Someone commented that they didn't like it and thought it was too much like the old. Plus, I wanted to start making myself look classy.But what about Bender??

That was the very Avatar that the Admin at the time put in my profile! I kept it for the fun of it! It was a joke though, not done to hurt anyone.

I still use that very iBook but just not upside down!

Guess you did not catch Schwebs post then my reply. We had an Admin here way back who one day as a joke put a bunch of our Avatars upside down. Mine was one of them, so I saved it. It's my original Avatar upside down to remember that day!
