Avatar Association
It always takes me ages to find a new banner or avatar that I like, especially these days. When I first joined the boards everyone used the default avatars, and for at least a year I used a "Young Gohan" one. It was nice and everything, but it never really fit my username.
Once Version 3 rolled around and I reached 500 posts (back then we had to have 500 posts to get a custom avatar) I used my classic "Shyguy" avatar. The thing is my buddy icon now, since I felt too guilty to dispose of the thing entirely. Older members always associate me with that avatar for some reason, even though I haven't used it in well over a year. Since then I haven't really found any avatars or banners that seemed to fit.
It's strange how everyone can associate people with their avatars. Just recently Dragon Warrior made a new banner "I am OtakuBoards' Black Mage" because of avatar association. I know a lot of members will always think of Babygirl when they think of Faye Valentine, or Sephiroth when they think of Sephiroth (Bad example, I know) and it's fun to have a random thing like a cat remind you of someone you met on the boards.
What avatars/characters/things do you think people associate you with?
