Does the avatar influence how you think of someone?

Maybe.

It would give everyone a sort of familiarity with each other.

I would join in on that. But maybe at a later date when I've gotten to know everyone.

Very interesting to see different views on this.

Personally I normally choose one special idea or emotion and pick a avatar that reflects this. I don't try to reflect my whole self trough one avatar.

As for a thread for showing your face. I guess it would work, although it would mostly be for people that is not on mumble because things like that have already happen there.

Wait- Na'vi technology? Are you saying that we've already begun exploring Pandora? Why did no-one tell me about this? *flicks switch under desk revealing a secret compartment holding a suit of power armour* Be right back people, I'm going to Pandora!

Bring me back some unobtanium!

I'm with what seems to be the common opinion here: A person's avatar is simply their face.
And I don't assume they actually have that character's personality. Instead I just wait to see what their posts reveal about them.

<== Hipster right here.

But I originally chose not to use an avatar because it's the best way to achieve true neutral in terms of influence on opinions of me. I want people to know me by who I am, not by what image i choose.

Now I just choose not to use one because I haven't used avatars in 4 years. (i've been active on forums for the entire time)

Aaah damn it, I wished to draw you an avatar with Remilia after finished a little work for Nastenary.
Too bad.
(P.s The draw of my profile picture is old (more o less 3-4 years) so don't take that as an example of what I can do now :P)

The lack of a avatar's sort of become my "avatar" lol. A lot of people know me as "that guy without an avatar but has a lot of posts" (I had close to 10k posts on one forum and never had an avatar my entire time)
