I've seen a lot of avatar changes across countless sites, and it often is a little difficult to deal with (since I've only got that and a name that is less prominent to identify the person by).

So when do you switch?
Is it when you get tired of an old one? As a reward for posting a certain amount or being around for a certain time? Whenever you see one better suited for you? All the time?

Or maybe you're the kind of person who wants to stay identifiable and rarely, if ever, changes.

As for me, it's normally when I get tired of my old one, but I've changed on other sites for a variety of reasons (such as on one where I was following the tradition of giving myself a monocle and tophat once I'd hit a certain number).

I usually keep the same one for months at a time, even if I'm bored of it.

I just switched a couple of days ago, as a matter of fact. :)

I usually change quite often, though I really enjoy the one I have now. I don't plan on changing the Dude any time soon.

Very rarely and only for holidays and fun things. All my avatars have been this little guy, he's had a haircuts, parties and facepaint for various holidays, but it's still him.

It depends on the avatar, how attached I am to it, and whether or not someone's using an avatar of the same character.

This is only my second non-holiday avatar, and I've only been using it for a couple of weeks. I don't like changing my avatar, since avatars are how most people recognize each other. I also tend to feel pretty connected to them, so it's hard for me to change mine...

I'll only switch if I can find an avatar that I like better...

...but I happen to like this avatar a lot, so that's probably not gonna happen...

This is my third one on this site, but I think I'm sticking to it. No more changing for me.

Well, my Alias has never changed, I've had it since I've had an alias.

My avatar has never changed either, so far, though it is different on every site.

Never!

I had a Duck Hunt one for a while, but as far as I'm concerned, this is far better than anything else I shall find.

Look at those whiskers!

I get a new avatar once I'm bored with the current one.
There isn't really any planning, it is just completely spontaneous.

For you, that holds true.

OT: I have over 40 potential avatars for this girl, I switch every few days.

That reminds me.

Almost never. It always confuses me when posters I recognize change their avatars...

Wow. Mixed poll results are mixed...

Anyways, I voted other. I change my avatar a lot, but not as often as I can. If I find a better one, I use it, but more often than not it is too big, above the KB Limit, or something else that restricts me from using it. T_T

You're not allowed to switch anyway >.>

Usually whenever I feel like it...changed it like twelve times in the past couple days...

I only swapped once because the better one was a gif. then I swapped that because it was the holiday season. I'd change it back but the damn thing wont load due to large size.(even though it was perfectly fine before)

Now I have this one just because I felt like it. If I could I'd change it back to my previous.

Never gonna happen. What little recognition I have around here would evaporate in an instant. Besides, it looks great, so why change it?

When I feel like doing a new one.[footnote]I always do my own avatars.[/footnote]

*sniff*
Now, so... I'll be on my way then.
