That title outa get some attention! :D

I'm not so good with netiquet. is it bad form to have a forum avatar consisting of my acutal face? I mean, am I supposed to hide behind my Japanese school girl avatar?

Nothing wrong with your own face. I'd probably use mine if it wasn't so damned hideous. :p

I've had despair.com demotivators as my background at work for two years and nobody has ever noticed. I think people tend to not read them.

My current forum avatar is my real face and my real typewriter.

Wha?

One might wish to be careful.

Where some would see your smiling face, others would see only a decapitated head.

But as body parts go, you could have done a lot, lot worse by us, and for your kind consideration I thank you.

Anyone know why the word "forum" is starred out when you try and put it in the field below your forum avatar? I wanted to be a Forum Troublemaker :(

Probably the same reason "Administrator" is, so you can't go around pretending you've got power and scarring newbies. Pity...

I endorse/support any display of disembodied heads.

I've been thinking of turning my face into a texture map from my SL AV too.

Although my RL bod ain't too shaby I'll probably have to get the bod skins from one of those kink shops and make myself completely roided out of control like super man.

What's with the "wings" lat muscles on an Avatar too? They're these jagged outcropping that look like hell. :p
