Many people on this site seemed to be defined by whats in their signature or avatar. Furthermore, its as though the person in a user's av/sig can be directly associated with the user.
EX. 1 I have no clue what KC looks like. But when I watch the Boondocks, he comes to mind. Why? Because of his av/sig. EX. 2 I'm not (somewhat) a fan of Joe Budden. And everytime I see the cover to Mood Muzik, Ding comes to mind *ding* How important do you guys think it is? Discuss. |

It's a means of self-expression so I guess it's pretty important. I just turned on avatars and signatures yesterday and I'm starting to recognize people by their avs/sigs. Before I turned them off, situations in real life would remind me of cB members and their avs/sigs. You're not alone.
