| | | Does anyone here ever...
...associate members here with their coaster counterparts?
For example: Chiller1472 always used to be a suspended post. It seemed weird to look at his posts and see that he was a inverted post. I had always gotten used to seeing that light bluw suspended track near his name.
Same thing with chilled. s/he was always a heartline poster to me. I still can't get used to seeing the name 'chilled' next to the bright green hypercoaster track.
Does anyone else do this? Or I am just crazy? |

| | | But I like the inverted avatar lol, I think I'll start posting less so it doesn't change :( I always associate Honan, Kraken, Natelox, and Medusa1861 with the Ultra avatar since they're the only ones with it...it'll be very weird when one of those changes to the next one. |

| | | I agree with you guys. I associate everyone w/ their avatar, so when they change it messes me up lol.

| | | I suppose we mods are lucky in that regard. :D Of course, I do occasionally check (via the member lists) to see what avatar I would be, and I still associate some members with certain avatars.

| | | I know. Sometimes you're are looking for a person to post and you can't find them until you realized their avatars changed. Is there any sites with better avatars than this one?

Ok sorry. I just didn't want to offend anyone by assuming anyone's gender.
I'm glad that I'm not alone out there in my weirdness. :) |

| | | Yeah, I experienced this too, although it wasn't that big of a deal. It is weird finding a member you've associated with a certain track design then to see that they're something else later! |

| | | I feel the same way. I always get confused when my avatar changes. I'm still getting used to being a hyper poster. I get used to avatars on the forums and associate them with different people, so when someone's changes, I get a little confused or forget that it's them making a comment or post.

| | | Sometimes this happens to me. I got so used to seeing Natelox with the gold Premier Park avatar, I got a little confused when I saw the ultra poster avatar under his name.

| | | This happens to me a lot as well. I'm used to seeing certain members with certain avatars. When it changes, I sometimes forget who it is that is posting.
You know what would be nice? CUSTOM AVATARS! why can't we have our own avatars? This stupid sytem of avatars based on the number of posts is one of the reasons for a lot of the spam on these boards: people post to get their post count up so they can have a better avatar.
I, for one, would like to see custom avatars on these boards.
