I heard you can custom avie at 100 posts. I'm close to that mark, and shall spam until I get there, not really. So, what kind of avie should I use? A picture of me? A cool image from the net? I'm just not sure. Not sure anyone wants to see a picture of me anyway.
What kind of avie should I use?

First, if you want to be cool, don't call it an "avie" because the proper term is "AV" capitalized like that.
The coolest AV is some kind of erotic pic of yourself. I don't use one of those because no pic of me would be erotic.

Beyond that, you've got the choice of consistancy. Some people - Carson, Perdita, and Minsue spring to mind - treat us to an ever-changing parade of beautiful and interesting images. Others, like Evil Alpaca for example, find the one Platonic ideal AV immediately and stick with that. Are you planning on being monogamus or polygamus in the AV department?

Well in real life I've always been monogamus, but this time...hmm...freedom? What's that? I can be free to change? This concept is new to me. In other chat boards that I go to it is refered to as an avie. That's way I say that. For the benefit of this board, I shall use the term that you know and use, AV. I have a fairly good body that I have been working on for so long, but I just took some polaroids, actually my wife did, and the definition didn't show up so well. So now I'm not so sure.

Sometimes, just go simple and use yourself.

Possibly an "under construction" sign until you've got better shots?
Don't get too worried. You can change it quite easily. It's only the perfect, like Evil Alpaca, or the unimaginative, like me, who stick with a single AV.

I will probably just post a picture of myself. I like seeing the ones of people at their computers just because I feel that person is talking directly to me a bit more. I can see them and feel a stronger connection.

Shanglan, you silver (and talented) tongued devil!

Well, seeing as animal pics, fairy pics and half-naked person pics are en vouge, I suggest the following . . . a half-naked fairy riding an animal or, as some might call it, Shanglan and Carson's Friday night.

Shanglan - I'm going to need that in a bit to cover my modesty.
Ah, who am I kidding, I have no modesty

Well, just to be part of the crowd, As for my use of the word board, again that stems from the other chat site that I am used to. They don't really care about proper English, spelling, grammer, captiliztion, whole words, complete thoughts, or anything remotely coherent. Usually they speak like this, "PNG! I iz s0 1337! PNG!" Yes, I hate it.

Thank you for that frightening glimpse into the future of the English language. Obviously I haven't been drinking nearly heavily enough tonight.

I have faith in you though. Horses can take a lot of drink before they pass out due to their high tolerance. Keep trying! You'll catch up!
