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.

Gender sign.... I switched mine because the pink annoyed me. Importance oof the avatar and signature.... Fairly high. It shows what you like and your personality, even if it's all text.
And it's not Chobits anymore. It's.... Um.... Doujinshi art. Yeah.

i thought u were a girl at first cuz of ur avatar and then i saw the sign and thought u were a guy and then i just gave up :P


anyway, my avatar is a letter sweating.gif and my sig is Yunho... so that shows ppl im Korean... or asian anyway. and yeah, i think it matters. cuz some of these avatars are really violent to me and sickening and i try as mucj as possible to get out of those ppl's ways.... thats just one example of y it matters. :P
