The way I see it, there are two kinds of Orgers : those who are faithful to one avatar and those who "play the field", going from one avatar to the next like they change socks or underwear.

Off the top of my head, I can think of only a few people who have stayed with their original avatar through sickness and health : I, Byron/WB, BKW, RDHull, Supa (hopefully) and... no, that's it. A select group and I think we can all agree they are among the most reliable, trusted and consistent Orgers.

On the other side, we have a veritable zoo of Orgers who who range from downright promiscuous to moderate avatar-hopping, not to mention those who just switch between two or three avatars or have at least one "main squeeze".THEY KNOW WHO THEY ARE.

But just so the rest of us know who you are, please describe your avatar behavior by picking one of these handy categories.

Monoavatarous

Light avatar-hopper (3 or less)

"Likes a good switch" avatar hopper (3 to 10)

Promiscuous (20 to 10)

Compulsive Avatar Hopper (20 and more)


Feel free to compare this behavior with some other comparable behavior of your choice (dating, dusting, handwashing, etc.)

i once was compulsive, now i'm pretty much on the light side.

It's great you recovered. I think the others are refusing to answer because they just hate the fact I've found the ideal avatar for me. It's like... not cool.

You've already done me.

rdhull has had 2 avatars though I think. The Rolling Stones lips and Angela Basset.

<--- Monoavatarous as can be, Aero!!!

I'm a "likes a good switch" hopper. I can think of about seven avatars I've had.

Supa's had two that I know of... him on a couch, and the current Prince ass-kissing one.

Omniavatarous (avatar slut )

Light avatar-hopper - this is my third in a couple of years

bkw said:

Did he? I just can't imagine him without the Stones logo.I suppose the Basset one was just one of the phases. Therefore, he's practically monoavatarous.

Lammastide said:

Seven avatars is perilously close to promiscuity, but at least you're up to Prince's favorite number.

As for Supa.. you're right. I knew I had forgotten something. Just two avatars isn't a big deal -- it's like being a twice married, one-time divorcé.

Aerogram said:

Hey, that's not right! Practically monoavatarous??? C'mon!!!

That's like giving letting #3 give the valedictorian speech at graduation!!!

applekisses said:

But you take precautions, right?

Reply to 'ARE YOU MONOAVATAROUS?'

In between
Promiscuous (20 to 10)

Compulsive Avatar Hopper (20 and more)

It's fun to get a new avatar. They are cool for a while then
they get played out after a while... or a month or two... Change is good...

ThreadBare said:

Once does not an habit make. He briefly strayed... pretty good in my book.

oOoOJulyOoOo said:

Sometimes change is good... It depends on the avatar...

oOoOJulyOoOo said:

Are you suggesting it would be fun to drop mine? I have to admit I've been tempted... yes, I too have sinned in my heart.

Aerogram said:

Yeah, I have felt slutty about this. I think I may stick with my current avi for awhile. I'm no J. Lo.

Aerogram said:

No, not yours... It's your trademark. That's what I mean.
It depends on the avatar. Yours is one of those that are cool as is...

i'm a bit of an avatar whore...

been through at least 10 that i can recall

Lammastide said:

I dunno... some people just aren't cut to be monoavatarous. I'm sure you treat them well and let them down easy.

I've always had this one.

oOoOJulyOoOo said:

Thanks! We're like one of those couples... George and Gracie, Siegfried and Roy, George W. and Dick, etc.

cborgman said:

A bit? According to your profile, that's almost one avatar per month.

magnificentsynthesizer667 said:

Great, although you are young in Org years. Temptation lies ahead. Be strong!

Am I monoavatarous?

Yep

I used to have a Prince one...waayyy back!

Light hopper I am

this is my 3rd one

I've had 4.5 I think.

The first TRON one
The Ian Curtis one
Paris Hilton
Paris Hilton w. Santa hat
The new TRON one

Aerogram said:

I count myself as monoavatarous (although to humor Lleena last X-mas i did have a seasonal Alf).

Oh and a final category may be in order :

the 2the9s effect (2 to the power 9 = 512), i think dansa has a daily job or worse approving 2the9s' avvies.
