The New Am I The Only One Thread

A lady friend of mine from Minnesota literally has this exact same complaint!

May: . . . plants start to bloom

Seriously? Everything's already been blooming for two months down here; we're in the phase now where everything is sickeningly retina-burning lime green.

Oops, I meant to put it under April. I'll go back and change it.

Am I the only one who has the irrational fear that if I change my avatar on here no one will recognize me?

 

[D'Snowth]

No, you're really not, and I speak from both sides of the aisle. I've confused people in the past whenever I'd change my av, but conversely, there apparently was a period where I was changing my av so much, people were commenting on how strange it was that I actually kept a certain one after so long.

At the same time, I'm also guilty of almost instantly recognizing members by their avs, and, well, yes, if you changed yours (particular if it wasn't a tiny little piggy), I'd probably not realize it's you at first.

Your avatar is like your face. There are times I recognize an avatar before a member name.

 

[Pig'sSaysAdios]

I'll be honest, there are members that changed their "faces" and I didn't recognize them for months. I'd be thinking, i wonder where that old member went. That new member is pretty great though! Only to realize they're the same person.

I'm good for an avatar change once every few months... I come from forums where people change their usernames all the time, which is 10x worse.

 

[D'Snowth]

Oh yes. Back in the old days of MC, the only way you could change your user name is if you put in for a request to Phil, which he would then either allow or disallow, or you had to create an entirely new account, which Phil and Ed frowned on.

Once they allowed for username changes (albeit with a limit of three changes), so many members he began abusing that feature, it got incredibly confusing!

This is also a major problem with Discord as well, but at the same time, it does have an advantage, because it allows you to change your name on different servers so that if one fandom recognizes you by one name, you can use that name on that particular server, without necessarily having to use it for other servers.

Woah! I didn't know that. I literally have a different username on every social media platform and the only thing my discord name is shared with is my Wii U username (lol), so that'll come in handy.

I’ve been there. I usually keep mine to Little Jerry consistency.
