Are you able to identify other escapist users?

I can occasionally identify with what they say but they usually lean WAAAAAY too far one way or another, sometimes to the amount where it is scary. Not avatars though, sometimes their names I guess.

Avatars are my weapon, I use them to make impressions. I used to be able to identify plenty of people, but most have them have been banned or have just left.

This will be my fourth year on The Escapist. Here's to many more.

Anyone recognize me?

...

...No?

Oh. :(

OT: I'm like everyone else I just recognize people by their pictures. Very few by their usernames.

But me? I'm too friendly to stand out!

Usually by avatar, even then not many. Unless they're a very, very consistent poster and I see their profile strewn all over the place. I presume my name/pic combo would be fairly easy to differentiate, but I doubt anyone recognizes me.

R & P is really easy to identify most people, and generally if a user has over 500 posts and quoted me I remember them & their opinion. Of course, then you get the people everyone knows by name due to either infamy or sheer post count/respect.

I often notice avatars first. Once I've seen an avatar a few times, especially if they often have something to say that is interesting (whether negatively or positively), then I'll take note of a username.

A few i'll notice by post style, a lot more by their Avatar. I suppose people might recognise my penchant for several single line sentences in my posts. Need to stop that really.

And my Viewtiful Avatar of course.

Oh and a few quotes will make me remember someone and anyone who makes me genuinely interested (be it their posting style, presentation or different opinions) will be remembered. For better or for worse.

Yeah, I'm able to identify some of the more active users. Mainly by avatar, but in a few cases I can recognize the username.

I can identify many Escapists by name. I'm pretty sure that I'm recognized as the guy with the consistently mind-melting avatars.

I can identify a lot of them by their avatar or name, and for one or two, I can tell how they'll react to threads. But I've been lurking on these forums for years, just didn't make an account :p

I recognize some user names and avatars. Not as many as I did, as I haven't been very active over the past few months, but still a fair few.

Well, since my avatar changes quite often, I doubt most can identify me...

But, I can identify most others by avatar or username. Username if I know them fairly well, avatar if I do not.

Yes mainly by avatar/name but also by their writing styles, I tend to notice sarcastic people more. I'm sure people do notice me floating around them too. :3

Yes, your current avatar is just plain creepy, even more than mine. :3

Yes, by avatars for the most part.
There are the few people like Iacktheknack, Sassafrass and Aylaine that I recognize by name though.

In the R&P section, I can recognize most people. There's where most of the somewhat intellectual conversation goes on, and when you discuss with people like that you begin to get an idea of what they're like.

Then there's the odd user who shows himself to have such a disgusting opinion that I'll be sure to remember (and avoid) them for the future.

A few. Big post counters I can recognise by both name and avatar. Everyone else I recognise usually by just avatar.

There are a few icons that I keep seeing, but I don't associate personalities with a lot of people before they've already been associated in other posts. As for me, if you do recognise me, it's probably either for the posts I've made in a few roleplaying threads or for being a dick.
