    Ok, so I ditched the smiley face avatar I've been rocking forever in favor of my actual photo. Actually I find it kind of weird seeing my face everywhere... seems the anonyminity of hiding behind a screen name is gone now. Kind of weird, yet liberating at the same time.

    Anyone else rocking their real selves?

    Once I reach 10,000 posts I'll take off my beautiful avatar and show my real skin. :)

    You did the right thing.

    Everyone should have their real photo.

    Most of the people with girls' photos in their avatar here are really men! :eek:

    I agree using your real photo is a whole lot better. It just helps matching posts with real faces. Speaking as a trader and buyer it also really helps gain trust with people.

    I don't use my real photo, in fact nobody on the internet has seen my face.

    However if you can guess who the drawing is, that's a different story.
