Hey fishee!
Welcome to the forum! If you want your own avatar just start a thread entitled "Please get me to 200 post" and you will get you avatar ;)

It hasn't worked yet. pro5ject still has some ways to go.

Posting in threads like this can help also. Eventually, the pointless posts add up to 200.

Of course, people here never get avatars, they get aviators.

Welcome, fishee, if you haven't been scared off yet. :)

Avatars are small graphical images that you may choose in your profile. They are displayed below your username on all posts that you make. You can select the image that best describes yourself from your profile options.

Main Entry: av·a·tar
Pronunciation: 'a-v&-"tär
Function: noun
Etymology: Sanskrit avatAra descent, from avatarati he descends, from ava- away + tarati he crosses over -- more at UKASE, THROUGH
Date: 1784
1 : the incarnation of a Hindu deity (as Vishnu)
2 a : an incarnation in human form b : an embodiment (as of a concept or philosophy) often in a person
3 : a variant phase or version of a continuing basic entity

Yep that's the original definiton of an avatar. The word may have been added into the oxford dictionary in 1784 but it's been in our country since 1784 BC or maybe long before that.
