How often do you change your avatar?

I can't remember the last time I changed mine. I've only had two or three in total.

I have changed my avatar precisely once, and that was from nothing to The Great and Powerful avatar I have now. I don't intend to ever change it, and judging by how steadfastly I've stuck with other similar things, I doubt I ever will (I've had this same login everywhere I go since very the first time I ever got to pick the username for myself).

A helluva lot.
In fact, I'm in the process of making a new one.

I change my avatar whenever i see one that i like better, or if i'm in the mood for a new one. Currently i'm thinking of making another, but i like this current one so far.

I think I'll stick to the theme of psychedelic glasses with my future avatars, I've had this one for months I think.

I know how to put pictures on my posts that are on the Internet, but not sure how to get them from a local folder. Otherwise I would post my previous avatars.

Esotera:
I think my most noticeable one was probably this:

That's correct. =)

I don't change my avatar on here very often. My first was, I believe, some horrible garish mass of colour that I thought would be artistic. Secondly was Legion from Mass Effect 2, and then pony.

Pony pony pony pony.

Put them on the Internet from your local folders first. Only way.

Not very often. Maybe once or twice a year. My current one I've had for a month now and the one before that for 2 years.

Lionsfan:
I've never changed mine, I don't post nearly enough to get recognized, and my posts aren't really flame-worthy so that won't stick out either.

My Avatar is just an easy way for people to recognize me

Calvin and Hobbes <3

Ahem. I rarely change mine. I see no real reason. Heck, I've had this one for as long as I can remember.

Esotera:
Probably every couple of months. I think my most noticeable one was probably this:

Which I'm sort of tempted to switch back to. I mostly update it when I'm bored & make something I like. Probably going to change it relatively soon, as this one has been there for a while...

I remember that!

I've changed my avatar once, to the one I currently have. The other one was a chibi L4D hunter done in MS Paint. Both my avatars were made for me by friends. I absolutely love this Boone one.

I've never changed my avatar and I don't plan to. I look too damn pretty in the one I use now ^_^

i wont change my avatar until some kid asks that infamous question "whats buffy the vampire slayer" then i will have to introduce them to mr pointy as they are the big bad of my life

I try to change once a month. I haven't had anything particularly exciting jump out at me so I'm currently using an old Souleater .gif I made awhile back.

This is my second avatar, swapped from a picture of me in a mask to what it is now.
I wish people wouldn't change them as often because I recognize people from their avatar and not their name.

I have not yet changed my avatar, but I have been think of what to do for the next one which might be appearing within the next few months.

I have changed it one from a Tsuna avatar to another Tsuna...I like the character.

I'll stay with this one for a while, I've been thinking about changing it to a raichu but I have grown on this one. I'm pretty recognisable with this one I think.

Also thinking of an Adventure Time gif...

Never. I didn't have an avatar for a while, then I fell upon this awesome Tyra gif.

Never for the recognition factor. Not that it works, but I'm happy with my XKCD avatar.

If it's hard to look away, it's good. But if it isn't hypnotic, then it's time for a change.

avatar? what's that?

(i know what an avatar is i am taking the piss)

This is my 1st, and have not changed it even once.

I already have it carved on my tombstone oO jk

Never! Mainly out of plain lazyness rather than beacause of priciple; can't of works with my avatar actually, moogles are kings of chill.

I haven't changed mine in about a Year, I like it just the way it is right now.

I HOPE THE REST OF YOU DO

I rarely change my avatar. I'm still on my first one for here. I haven't changed mine because I can't think of a new avatar and I'm lazy.

I switch quite often, pretty much whenever I feel like it. Have a list so that I can revert any time I want.

The one I'm using currently (Moon and Star) actually has two variations, clockwise and anticlockwise, that I switch from time to time. Just in case it screws with someone's mind.

As and when the mood takes me.
Although this one will be staying for a while. DovahGav is too awesome to pass up.

Pretty randomly, up until recently where I've kinda decided on a thing of swithcing up my avatar with a different album cover for each month. Unless I've added them as a friend, I doubt many people would have recognised me be name/avatar anyhow, so...*shrugs*. =/

I've had one or two avatars before my current one, both Okami related.

I don't plan on changing it any time soon :D

Since Sleekgiant made my avatar I haven't switched it up. I don't count seasonal variations. :P

Anyway it would look bad as the founder of this group if I changed it.

I used to change my avatar every week. It was sorta my "thing" here on the Escapist. Now though, I mainly stick to ol' Vivi here. Although I still change occasionally when I feel like it.

Not since I made this one, I mean it's a cartoon with a cartoon butt on his head whats not to like?

My "thing" is to have avatars of the same character, and I kinda ran out of good ones.

Eh, depends if I feel like it or not, and I have an image I want to use. I've changed like like three or four times already.

Hardly ever anymore since it takes 2 weeks for a new one to start working.

I tend to recognize people here exclusively by their avatars, so i've stuck with this one for 99% of my time here so far so that others who do the same can recognize me better.

I had two avatars back when i went under the name of "seminoob22", one of the pyro from TF2 and one of Raziel from the Legacy of Kain series. About a month after i joined, i decided to change my name to "secret world leader" (shhh), and i've had this avatar ever since.

I feel like avatars are more of a symbol that represents you, rather than an image depicting you. The avatar is representative, unlike a profile picture. Thus, I feel like avatars should be changed far less than Facebook pics.
