Post by: Puddsy on Thu, 02 October 2014, 17:46:17: I've been changing it lately, but I've probably only done 3-4 real changes over the past year and a half. I might stick to this one for a few more weeks, I kinda like it.

I've never changed my icon on GH.

You high?
Title: Re: How much you change your avatar? post pics
Post by: Coreda on Fri, 03 October 2014, 00:04:19: On GH I've only changed it once. Was originally the Github Octocat version of Nyancat, now it's a custom version of the nyancap keycap.

With most boards I've been on avatars have just been a nice-to-have feature, except on NeoGAF. Over there it's become something of a micro-culture, with it's own request thread, numerous appreciation threads, rating threads, seasonal threads, etc. People talk about and make new avatars so often it's remarkable, haha.

Also it means I have to change it on all the forums I go on =/

Post by: fohat.digs on Fri, 03 October 2014, 06:49:14: I have changed mine a few times but always went back.

People probably want "a familiar face"

When I got my first Model F, I did the "Command 1 - Help - Play" thing and it just seemed like a good idea.

The sub-legends "Hex" and "Test" seemed cool, too.

Nope, it should be "how often do you change your avatar?". Much is a quantity measurement, not a frequency.

um...Buhhhh.... buhhhh....... i'm prettty sure it's still correct to use much here... even if that would imply how much a single avatar is changed.. if it has been changed 1000%, that could be 10 totally different avatars... depending on how you want to index the change... by using much, you can also change it 107%, where it has changed completely ONCE, and 7% of the pixels from the first change..

Post by: Air tree on Wed, 08 October 2014, 05:25:48: Not that often. I've probably changed it 2-3 times since I've been on here. I'll most likely stick with the one I got at the moment.

I've already forgot the other ones I had, though.
