So being a mere serf of the boards, I realize I'm not entitled to a unique avatar, but how does one go about changing it in the first place?
That's loser talk! If you deserved a unique avatar, you'd be willing to hunt down and...persuade...those misguided souls who were wrongly and falsely laying claim to that which you so richly deserve my friend. Oh, and it never hurts to use a few of them as examples for anyone that comes after, to prevent future miscommunications about the uniqueness of said avatar.
Um, right, you had a question there: Um, click "my account" up above, then in the middle there will be a "messageboard settings" options above your current picture that should give you more choices when you click it.
So far no reason to change this one (even if I am rarely blue-skinned with turqoise hair). Don't think I will, either, especially since only 2 other users have picked this one and they don't really post much here (at least I haven't seen them).
There was thread somewhere, which showed that Logue does not have big honking mustache in RL. I was disappointed.
I like this one more. I actually do have pointy ears. >.<We're not board twins anymore
=(
We are in spirit!
Eyebite! You've abandoned me! We're no longer avatar twins!
Sad now.
I like Lilith's new avatar, and think it much better suits her board name (though I did do a doubletake when I first saw it).
I notice ungoded has picked a new one.
Taliesin Hoyle has changed.
There's a couple others I noticed, but I misremember who off the top of my head.
Well I change mine a little too frequently. I changed mine because I picked one that only I had picked...but it was only okay, cuz to accomplish that, I had to use an avatar overlooked by many.
I like this one, and I think I'll just keep it for as long as possible. Even if some others choose it, I'm sure I'll rarely bump into them.
Oh, and am I at least a Baron of the Boards yet? I've got nearly 700 posts and counting! :D

The only qualification of becoming a 'Lord of the Boards' is posting your status in the 'Lords of the Boards' thread, started by Sebastian (I think). It's buried deep down in the archives somewhere...
EDIT: Nevermind. It's actually been resurrected recently.
EDIT #2: MaxSlasher, you've already posted there! Back in September! You're a Lord of the Boards and didn't even know it!

Ah yes. I remember that. I posted in that reeeeeeeeeeeeeally early on. I was only on the boards for a month so I claimed to be Lord of Claiming to Be a Lord of the Boards.
By now I'm surely higher up on the chain than that.
I might go back to classic/vintage R-type again... I see others have this avatar and after all: THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!

Yup. And in retrospect, given the popularity of the thread, I really should have charged a fee for the title too. Oh well, live and learn.
I'll not change mine (unless the get a nice Lockwood one. I might be tempted then).
Unique would be cool
yep yep! Keeping this one. Going to try to put a slightly stylized version on a tshirt for GenCon this year with Sharpies...gotta git off my butt and start, though. Less than two weeks.
Besides, me and Aberzombie (and LichLoved?) are the only two (three?) zombies out here and we got to stick together, zombies dont last long by themselves.

Make sure you get some bold, block letter print on it below the picture (or on the back) that says "Drunken_Nomad. Not Aberzombie or Lich_Loved."

I think with such an impressive title, it should require something more. As in - I keep waiting to experience some kind of epiphany before I can masquerade as a Lord of the Boards.
Until then, I'm just a randomly posting douche bag. ;)
smurf?
s m u r f?If your 'friends' tell you to jump off a bridge are you going to do that too?
Maybe. SMURF!
Although only a Peon of the Boards, this thread has inspired me to change my avatar. This one fits my personality better.

...a mere serf of the boards...Aha! Hahaha! Hahahahahaha! Serf. Board. Surfboard. Clever!
Now, the real question... was it intentional?
Ohhh, if only I could claim to be that clever...well, I could claim it, but then people would expect it and I would have to spend all my time coming up with clever puns. No, it wasn't intentional, but your interpretation gave me a chuckle.
Yeah, every time I see the wolf head, I'm like, "I don't remember posting that." Oh...right. I need to find one just like this but with pink bunny ears.
I was a wolf head for a long long time, until I had the same problem too often for me to tolerate...I like my new look though!

We're jumping off a bridge now? Smurfy! I mean, cool!

Spoken like a true attorney.Nah. A true attorney thing to say say is "I really should have charged a fee for the title, but instead, I'm going to sue you all for royalties."
Damn celestial beings. You'll never understand true evil.
I bow before your evil genius. I have seen the errors in my ways. I am going to law school.
"Always lawful good" my butt...

I've just checked the avatars page, and can't see where I'd type 'smurf', even if I wanted to...
And how did just the one post/person get changed, without altering every other?
I'm confuuuused...
What are you smurfing about?
Drinkin and pirate talk sometimes changes your posts, too--but that depends whether or not Gary has turned on one of his annoying plug-ins.

Anyone remember the episode of South Park, guest-starring the band, Korn, in a Scooby-Doo plot, and they got sidetracked by a debate over whether they were tracking a ghost pirate, or a pirate ghost?
One being the spirit of a 'dead pirate'; the other being a sprit who had 'turned to piracy' after death?
No? Well, it's just an excuse to see if the mention of piracy affects my avatar, as suggested above.
Here goes nothin'....

Woohoo! That makes me a Lord of the boards! Oh wait, shouldn't it be Lady of the boards in my case, or does the feminine/masculine wordage count here? I feel giddy, like being accepted into a special club.

Oh it's special alright.
SMURF!
I've gained a little weight since coming home from school, so I thought my avatar should reflect it. The second head isn't new, though. Accepting it is kind of...part of my therapy and I think this new avatar would help.
I just wish I could be as sexy as the demodand in the Savage Tide adventure. I feel he would best capture my slimey, Jabba the Hutt-esque raw sexuality and sluglike animal magnetism.

You callin' me a problem?! It's okay if you are, it just hurts my feelings and makes me go to an introspective place of self loathing is all.
...and Lilith has adopted the new Iggwilv avatar.
She'd best be careful -- I might start stalking her. (Mmmm, Iggwilv!)

You're right, this demodand isn't quite as sexy as the one in ST, but he's close.
But I just don't see you as a demodand James. You'll always be a 1st Level Commoner wearing a peasant hat to me...
