How many times have you changed your icon? 

Ever since I changed it to this one, I haven't. I find people remember me because of my icon, not my username. That's how I normally remember people on here.

EDIT: Just checked, I ain't changed my icon since Janurary 2010.

Funny thing, that: I'm actually gonna change it real soon.

Nah, why bother?

I've probably had about four different avatars on this site but they've all been variations on this one. This is the avatar people know me by and I still like it so I see no reason to change it.

I have changed it zero times, other than for the Christmas version.

I've changed it far too many times.  I can never settle on one I like.

I've only ever changed it for the Christmas version. I'm just not creative when it comes to making/picking what to use for my avatar. ):

I think I have changed it about 5 times now.

i've changed it a couple of times, but it's always been the same character. 

Back when the site launched, I used to change my icon to reflect whatever game I was playing at the time. After a couple of months, though, I began to feel like I didn't really have an identity within the site's community, and felt like a permanent avatar might go some way towards earning me that. After much deliberation, I settled on the drums. With the exception of the Christmas version for the Holiday season, I never change my icon anymore.

Once.  I had the Sesame Street characters with a 40, guns, and knives before.  Macho man delaying rapture is the best thing though, so I had to change it.

Once, and im never changing it.

I'm staying on this one for now. I had a previous one in the past but I'm going for recognizability right now.

I used to not want to change it often because I usually only recognize others by their avatar, but then I realized I don't really give a shit and so I have changed it a lot in the past couple weeks. I think I'll keep this one for a while though (I've said that about the last five).

Not that I'm known, but I figure if anyone is going to remember me, it's by my avatar. I haven't changed mine since October 2009. 
 
It throws me off whenever someone I would usually recognize changes their avatar and I don't realize it for a while.

Nope. 
 
None.

I tried to change mine when Randy Savage died, but even then I couldn't handle the change and switched it back immediately.

Unless a different game comes along and takes the crown from Blur as my favorite game ever -- no.

I changed mine sometime during June, because I discovered transparent PNG images were accepted on the site. It's been the same image of Vladimir Makarov since the release of Modern Warfare 2, and hopefully people have grown to recognise me from it. I used a version with a background that was the color of the dark Giant Bomb skin, but that wasn't good for people using the white because it would look terrible. Hopefully the transparent image looks excellent because I still like my avatar just as much as I did before.

Snake Plissken, The Terminator, Pete Wentz, Zac Efron, Jared Leto, Madonna, Cary Grant, George Clooney and Daria. I think that's it. I can't see myself changing again for a long while; Daria is just so me.

I've had this since Jan 2010, so would seem a shame to change it. 

I generally try and pick something fairly unique, which seems to lessen the compulsion I used to have to change my avatar every other week.

There was that one time you changed it to Stocking from Panty and Stocking, if I am not mistaken.

only if i'm putting on a santa hat

Twice for Christmas, once for the 4th of July (just the one day) and for a month last year due to losing the Call of Duty vs Super Mario Bros Wii bet.

Always. I almost stopped to try and be a bit more memorable on GB, but I barely post anyway.

Never!

Occasionally. I usually use this one on most forums I visit though, that or Prithivi from digital devil saga.

Yeah I remember people by there avatars these days so I like to offer the same courtasy :I

I refuse to change mine until GB gets PS3 trophy tracking on the site. BOYCOTT!

Never. The Simpsonized version of me is all I need.

I've changed it a couple of times, but i shall NEVER change zombie Che!

I used to change it pretty often, but I've used this one for quite a while, and I don't see any reason to change it.

I've changed mine a number of times, though I've always tried to remain thematically consistent (i.e only used pictures of either Rad Spencer or Mega Man), I started to dislike the almost troll-ish appearence of my last one after a while, so I decided to choose something simple and classic that I could stick with in the long run. I ended up with my current one which is my favorite mega man sprite with a twist.

I put on a Santa hat for Christmas and I added the beard recently. I also changed it to the American flag on the 4th.

Never, although I feel I should.

It's a long time until christmas, so you won't see a change in avatar from me anytime soon

I haven't changed mine in over a year.

I had default up to like 1100 posts, then this ever since.

I change it, but this one has been my main for awhile now. I would say something like people associate a user more with there avatar than name, but it wouldn't matter in my case. I don't post frequently enough, nor often have strong opinions on matters.

Never have.
