I think making the pic that small would decrease the epicosity to a level that wouldn't melt our fragile minds. But c'mon, it looks like you from pics I've seen in other threads. Or am I that bad with faces?

Rest assured that if there were pictures of my true form anywhere on the net, whether that small or not it would have combusted. Just trust me on it. You don't want to find out for yourself. It could be lethal.

Nope, i use Elumus Nailo to show my support for Unforgotten Realms.
Although now i think perhaps i should; It would seem honest and more unique...

You seem to be missing the phrase "True form". It's a lot more potent.

No, I'm not using a photo of myself. Why? Because I don't have one and don't want to use one as my avatar.

Hee hee. I'd settle for knowing if it was your human form in your avy, but I know when to walk away. I tip my hat to you.

Respectively: No, I don't, because I hate cameras/love pretty ladies/drawings.

EDIT: Actually, you know what the real reason is?
I'm actually a girl.

DUN DUN DUN
...Wait no that's probably a lie.

eitherway, the avatars you choose normally give people the wrong impression.
and then you post.

OP: I think I'd break the internet if there was a picture of me uploaded. and I don't mean break it in a good way. like sheer awesomeness.
My face is for real life, so on the net I am free to be whoever I choose.
So, no avatar picture of me for you!

No, a rainbow-coloured bear is far more appealing to show than my nerdy face. Besides, a nerdy face can be an everyday occurence. A rainbow-coloured bear? Not really.

No:
1)I'm buttugly.
2)I like this avatar.
3)I don't have any photos of myself, apart for passport photos, where I look like on a police mugshot.

EDIT:

Souplex:
Cameras are incapable of containing my magnificent visage and explode when they try so you will have to settle for a doodle of me.

Excuse me, is this Harry Potter wrestling with God?

.... Are you flirting with me?

You are, aren't you.

I really don't know why anyone would want me pictures strewn about so haphazardly.

Yes, this is me. I am the Monkey King and I am often beset by fish.

In all seriousness, if you really want a picture of me.... I probably hate you.

I'll actually not belittle this thread because it's a perfectly valid poll for once. strange i know.

I don't use a picture of myself... simply because... I can't be arsed to change it... hold that thought...

Okay at some point it should change to me as Hercules giving a thumbs up. so yeah... actually me now (or soon?)

Yep, I do. Why? Erm, cuzz? I really don't know. Probably because I haven't found anything (besides this lame hourglass) that fits my forum name. The hourglass got tiring quickly. :shrug:

Simple enough... do you use a real photo of yourself on this forum site as your avatar.

Basically, if you do, is there a reason you do?

If you don't is there a reason you don't?

because you look like a total bro?

No, but I think Prey's logo is cool so I use that, which some escapists were kind enough to animate.

Out of curiosity, was it you in your old avatar?

I dont use my own picture because I would like to divorce my likeness from my comments since there are many people who cant divorce thier feelings from debate...and you never know who is local or who is the kind of person who cant simply dissagree with you. The danger of the internet is anonymity, you never know who you are dealing with. Anonymity is your one defense, they dont know either.
I would give the same answers and pose the same comments when speaking in person, but the person I can see is safer than the person I cant.

Ive got my xbox avatar, that is the wrong colour but almost has similar hair but its not long enough, my avatar looks more like a distant brother than it does me.

As an avatar, not really, but sometimes as spray in CS:S.
Gotta love the "who's the chick?" distraction for cheap headshots :)

Yes, this image to the right? That is me. Absolutely. No doubt. For Sho'.

OT: I don't because I don't want to grace you with my Godly appearance. It'd be too much for ye mortals to handle.
