I don't understand that POV at all. Avatars make the messageboarding experience more lively and fun for everyone. Signatures are a different matter, but avs uber alles imo

I think you guys just haven't been on a board with GOOD avatars. I'm sure everyone on here would just have pics of their favorite dumb band or some crap. This would be my signature image on here btw:

x-post - You have a theory on that? Wow. Sorry JD, I can't help but enjoy them and agree that good ones can enhance the mb experience. Although I guess in this instance that's more in theory because I also do, as previously mentioned, like the fact that I can browse at work and have it seem at least sort of discreet.

Farmville updates and endless fan page invitations make the Facebook experience more lively and fun for everyone.

http://i56.tinypic.com/4lksk8.gif Mafia Wars updates are just annoying conveyances of information... its just like someone letting everyone know "I'm doing a thing"... an avatar can reflect ur hopes and dreams, they can be amusing or heartbreaking, they can subtly impact how posts are read for better or worse... the intertextual possibilities are mindblowing... its disappointing to see so many 'old century' attitudes itt, the new media is here 2 stay...
