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 true though.

Like, I remember certain people on the boards who never post their picture, but their avatar and sig has some sort of cartoon/celebrity in there, and when I see this.. "thing", they come to mind.
Er.. you know what I mean.

Like reili for example. Her avatar and sig is from chobits, and now everytime i read or watch chobits i think of her. haha.
edit:// well it was. i just now saw that she changed it rolleyes.gif

oooh, and remember how everyone thought jordan was a girl? part of it was because of his (old) avatar and sig.

Well if you had actually talked to Jordan, you would know he was a guy...I think I always knew Jordan was a male before the whole confusion...


Anyways, I think they are more for fun. I don't really put mine out there to show people who I am...I just like to mess around.
