Similar or the Same Avatars on DP

    Hello,

    I was just wondering why I see so many of the same avatars here on DP?

    I know that people sell sig space and possibly home page link space but do they sell avatar space?

    I see alot of the same avatars belonging to different people. I also see alot of similar avatars, such as the robot "Bender", belonging to many different people.

    So what's up, is is a clique thing, a group thing, a sold space thing or what?

    Cheers,
    GG

    Haha, well, the Bender thing was just a fad that happened a while ago, although I still see some people that have those avatars. Yes, people also sell avatar space here, so don't be too surprised to see a lot of the same avatars used by different people.

    Ahh, thank for the info Computerized. I didn't realize people sold Avatar space... I guess nowadays people sell/buy anything, plus I'm sure it does help to spread your product or business.

    I've wondered about the Bender thing for a while. I see it on other forums too.. I just always thought there was a "Bende Mafia" LMAO :)

    Yes some people have the same avatars because they like the same things. The Bender avatars are an example of that. Some do sell their avatar space...mine for instance, and I have seen a few people with the same ripen apples avatar around! I also use my own avatar image when I'm not selling the space and I will probably change it...avatar space is like your computer's wallpaper, some people change it a lot, others never change it.

    i sold my avatar, so it was someone's ad for a while. but when I reached Tauren status I put up a pic of a tauren, and I don't know why I'm the only one who has done this.

    Because you are one of the few that know what a Tauren is?? Or is it just me? :confused:

    Congrats on the Tauren status... Maybe you will even catch up to me someday!

    I came here with ulterior motives. It took me a while to realise the value of the place. Then I got stuck in B/S/T for a while. Then I started finding some of the cool people here... And now I'm addicted! :cool:
