I've had this avatar since March 2010. I pretty much almost never change my avatar once its set up. I would say never, but I changed my steam one once

Since 2008.

I originally had an Aegis Destroyer, then requested some help in getting a good frog avatar.

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.73740-I-need-help-fixing-my-Frog-avatar-any-artists-out-there#811541

I had 2 offers, both looked similar and I would swap between both of them every month or so as thanks to both of the artists. After my computer crashed, I lost them and had to download it from the site to have it again. It needs some cleaning up, it has become a little distorted after resizing at some point.

To those of you that are constantly changing your avatar, it is really annoying! I tend to not even look at names of a user (I see the avatar first) unless I'm reading their comment or they are they OP. I think sticking with one avatar (or not changing often) helps you stand out. I love that I can be away from the site for a year and come back and still immediately recognize an avatar and remember that person.

I still have the same one since I joined one year ago. (Go Heracross!)

(But the longest I've ever used an avatar was for my Deviant Art account where I haven't changed my avatar since 2007. http://keniakittykat.deviantart.com/ )

It was either the gif of DJ PON-3 first apperance of the Gala Pinkie Pie acting like a DJ. I know one of those two were the longest since I wanted my next avatar to be another pony loop gif of the new season by it was quite hard to find until the last episode with Queen Chrysalis transformation scene.

I used a Starcraft Medic avatar for... like... over a year when I first arrived.

Then I used a Cyriak "DNA Strands Made Of Heads" gif and the rest is history.
Glad I am not epileptic! Your current av would have me rolling on the ground spasing out if I was! still neat though!

Well, I used
for yonks. But I just switched to this little avatar for funsies.
Yours I like. It made me laugh a bit.

As for Color Scientist's comment about the looped Garey Busey avatar, Busey has a face that qualifies as nightmare fuel!
I do like Rogue wolf's wolf, and daystar clarion's amataresu. Anything with dragons if you haven't guessed already.

You might as well be speaking Klingon. I play the Engrish Transrate Plobrem card! I must confess though yours is one I have lost minutes being mesmorized by. I don't know why but some of the motion avatars I just find myself getting distracted by and forget what I was doing, then I realized I just spent 2-3 minutes staring at an avatar.

I've used this one since I joined the Publisher's Club, so I think that's since 2010.

I've used the Keywork since I joined the Escapist back in 2008. I've also used it on every site that requires an avatar. I've never once thought about changing it.

Same with my username. I am Gxas and the Keywork is how people recognize me. Why change it? It's like a name and face online. I will never get bored of it.

I've been using Bob Dylan since 2009. It used to be Sean Connery's Bond, but I changed it. It would feel weird changing it. It doesn't go with the "Random" too well when I change it.

I've been using a certain avatar on InsideHoops since 2008, so I've been using a particular avatar for over 6 years.
