i was thinking about adding one of the preloaded avatars to my name. as i was scrolling through my choices, i noticed there sure were alot of superheros to choose from. does someone have a fetish? and what's with the alladdin characters? just wondering......... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif)
And what exactly is an AVATAR? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) the dictionary says :
Main Entry: av·a·tar
Pronunciation: 'a-v&-"tär
Function: noun
Etymology: Sanskrit avatAra descent, from avatarati he descends, from ava- away + tarati he crosses over -- more at UKASE, THROUGH
1 : the incarnation of a Hindu deity (as Vishnu)
2 a : an incarnation in human form b : an embodiment (as of a concept or philosophy) often in a person

Who's Hindi? Is there more to this site than just 914's?

You need a better dictionary. Avatar, as used here, is the representation of the self in another form, a virtual being.

IF you use the standard avatars, you either:

- Are just clueless about creating and uploading your personal picture that will let us know "sumptin" about your personality (no biggie, we can't all be computer wizzes). In this case, don't hesitate to ask your friendly admins for help (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

- You just have no imagination at all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

- You are indeed a super hero (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

cheers,

Jeroen

The more modern definition of avatar would be the character one chooses to represent themselves in one of those online role playing games. Here, it's obviously just a way to joke around.
