Time to ditch avatars?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Time to ditch avatars?

Post by Otis »

Looking at the same silly pic over and over and over sometimes past hundreds to thousands of times does get tired. How's about we kill 'em or do something less boring to distinguish ourselves. Or maybe nothing.

What say you, ladies and laddies?

I don't really notice people's avatars anymore. You can go into the Control panel and turn them off if they annoy you.

LoL! I assume he means he's immune to seeing them.

I love the avatars!

I remember causing mass confusion on K440 once, when The Dragon lead about 10 people to use the same avatar of another poster. Hurt my eyes too.

Avatars are good IMO. I find them to be a good way to get a full picture of a poster and possibly the way they perceive their attitude to come across.
