Or do you take it as a badge of honor that someone thought enough of your idea to copy you?
It's happened twice to me over the years, including one I just noticed a few minutes ago. ETA: So, should I @ this member in the thread to see what he has to say for himself? |

Yuuuge party foul. Every avatar pic should have an element of original content/personalization.
|

It only happened to me once about 15 years ago. I changed avatars for about one day and someone immediately started using my original one.
I don't change avatars now unless I'm really sure I'm not going back to the other one. |
|
I'm not aware if it has happened. But it would suck. I wouldn't do it to someone else.
|
|
It is annoying to answer a post that you thought was someone else, that and constantly changing the avatar, rant over
|
|
No one ever has. I liked the egg separator avatar I used to have, but too many half blind folks were freaked out by it.

Not really I guess, but no one has so...idk. Can see how it would be confusing as some prolific posters are recognizable by them.
|
|
|
Considering I got mine from an image on the internet I couldn't really complain if someone liked the same image. But it's annoying when two posters have the same or similar avatars.
|
|
It's cool to have an original. I was so proud someone modified mine, I adopted it!
|
|
Yeah... until I realized it was the troll account I made.
Just Kidding... maybe. |

My avatar came about through a now banned PowPow thread where I was accused by PowPow of being a circus member in cahoots with everyone else to get him to ban himself.
Once I created it, I liked it and probably won't change it. |

Pretty sure I’m the only person on ARF with the little AK lady

We all should use the penguins avatar just to confuse the over lords.
|
|
Mine is my own pic of a build I was working on. Thought it was cool, and too many people complained of my Yolondi Visser avatar. So I switched it.
There is only one member here, who has one similar to mine, that I know of anyway. ETA Posted up above lol |

This is my avatar pic. It's a close up of a black American flag that I changed to shortly after election day.
Attached File This is the avatar as I copied it from the other user. Note: The other used joined 10 years after I did but has 10x the post I do. Attached File |

I hate it when that happens
Maybe they just share in your optimism about the country |

The AR with the ACOG is way overused, though. Of that I am sure.
