Well, during a gruelling day at work (yea, right...), I managed to find a cleaner picture of a racecar Monopoly token to use as my avatar. I kind of liked the old one I used. But, the red outline around the racecar troubled me a bit. The picture I'm using as my avatar now is a little bigger and the racecar is pointing off-center. It's actually a picture of a statue of the racecar token (basically a big racecar token you can pay $20 for). Anyway, yea or nay on the new avatar?

Also, I don't know if there is a discussion thread on avatars and why we chose them/what they mean to us. I guess the reason why I use the racecar is pretty obvious, I love playing Monopoly and am in charge of running Monopoly tourneys (and tourneys for other games as well) on online gaming ladders. It's a voluntary thing or labor of love. Anyway, if you would like to share something about your avatar, feel free.

There are already a heap o' stories in the avatar backstories thread.

Wow, I didn't realize that your avatar was a monopoly car all this time - the new picture looks great.

Hmmm....

Maybe this thread should be moved to the Your So-Called Life forum?

(man, have I learned to pump up my post total, or what? it's an addiciton, i tell you.)

TomSpeed,

Your old avatar was good. Your new avatar is great.

I, too, like the new avatar.

I told the story of my avatar in the thread candygirl mentioned.

Yep, shiny is better.

Might as well move my old "Avatar Backstories" thread over there too...

I'm easily distracted by shiny objects.

Thanks, guys, for your comments.

Very much like the new avatar Tom, nice and clean.

I don't know if I ever wrote in the avatar backstory thread.

Anyway mine is pretty self explanatory, though I will be changing it soon, its time has come to move into the avatar graveyard on the big harddrive in the sky.

When the forum ate my original avatar I had to go and find a new one. If you hadn't guessed my new pic. is of me and Ross. (Guess which one is R.R.

)
