How often do you change your avatar on GAF?

Oh I remember when I had an avatar and people kept asking me "who's the girl in your avatar".

I hate to not have an avatar. People are more recognizable with the same avatar.

Very rarely. It's gonna have to take something special for me to switch this bad boy out - must have had it for three years by now.

I put my avatar because it was needed for a hype train a few years ago. Didn't see the need to change it since. If the avatar bet about Starfield date was different I may had to change it for a Todd. But fortunately I choose wisely. So unless I loose one of those avatar bet threads that pop up sometimes I will keep it. Maybe I will change it when a new IP arrives on PS5 that gives me as much emotion as GOW did.

I've had my Avatar for a long time, my previous one was like this which is still my PSN avatar

Which was 2007 onwards...I don't actually remember what I had previously.....wait.
This one

There was a while where you could use PHP to have it load a new image with every access. I did that until they blocked it. Was fun while it lasted.

Otherwise, this is only my second avatar in my account's history, I believe.

When I feel like it, my names a pun on bash (the shell scripting language for linux) and Ghost in the Shell, then I saw Ghost from COD:MWII reboot and just made him my avatar.

I came to gaf from the IGN boards back in the early 2000's. I have NEVER changed my avatar. Its mine, it'll forever be mine.

Once when they got rid of animated gifts and once when I lost the GoW bet.

It's been a couple times. Think I'll keep the current one for 2 reasons: love and surprise.

I haven't changed mine in years. I honestly can't even remember when I switched from Tyrion to Jaqen H'ghar.


It just seemed to fit the "nobody" part of my name and by now I can't be bothered to change it.

I still don't know what giles from buffy with a piece of cheese on his head and a beyblade glove should represent.

Everytime I lose an avatar bet, I now have to wait until the release of starfield before I can change it back.
