Some members are known by their avatar.... If you changed your avatar I would be completely thrown!

@tradedollarnut with his fantastic coin
@TomB with the old school demon (which doesn't;t fit his personality as far as I know)
@CaptHenway with whatever that is
@SkyMan with the toned Franklin
@messydesk with the french horn
@EagleEye with the eagle eye GIF
@keets with the Fear and Loathing in LAs Vegas thing going. That by the way is how I imagine you.
@RYK is his retirement with the eagle reverse. I miss you man.

Any others come to mind as borderline iconic avatars?

    Second @keets and the Fear and Loathing thing :)
    And many of the others you mentioned. TDN, TomB, Captn, EagleEye. I'd add
    @coinsarefun @Yorkshireman @Justacommeman and of course, @Boosibri (though my mind's voice always says "Boobsi" :)

    Lots of good posters change their avatars. Mine has been the same, I think, since 2001.

    My last name is Boosi, pronounced Boozi. I never expected to stay as an avid poster when I first joined. If I had to do it over again I would have chosen a different name.

    when I first joined I didn't know how to upload an avatar so I chose the "Unknown Comic" bag-head. there didn't seem to be anyone else using it and I remember seeing it and thinking it was me, only to discover another member had picked it.

    Lord Marcovan finally helped me upload my current one.

    Have you noticed the wave on newbies that ask crazy questions about pocket change? They all have some cartoon face in a circle avatar. Still makes me wonder about Alts!
    Anyways, my first avatar was the squirrel opening the 3 beer cans picture. I changed it a few times. I also had Moe from the 3 Stooges with an angry face.


    Later, Paul.

    I was until I was trying to change my pre software changeover Morgan .gif to a new Carr .gif and it wouldn't let me AND I lost my original. So utterly sad about that to this day still. Wish they would update the software to allow .gif avatars again

    Some people have no imagination. @ThePennyLady has a simple, yet distinctive avatar. @dcarr has a rather unique avatar of his initials intertwined.

    I have no idea what half the avatars are, kinda silly if no one else can figure it out but you.

    IMO, it really should be coin related.

    Some make zero sense to me.

    Some are offensive.

    No offense...but that is the 1 avatar that makes me want to puke every time I see it. I find it hard not to think poorly of you because of it! But I don't and do let it roll off my eyes...although tough for me

    Tom is a green demon. Always enjoyed Outhauls avatar and posts.

    In the early days you could only choose a stock icon. Then folks were allowed to upload one, which went in to the data base, which then everyone could and did use. Mine has changed many times. Only use coins I own.
