Who ever gave me the Rocket avatar, thanks I guess... I didn't do it myself. LOL

I did that. One difference between this site (proboards) and NOSF (excoboard) is that everyone automatically has an avatar, and it doesn't look like there's a way to change that. When we started everyone was automatically given this for their default avatar: ....which was just weird and kinda creepy. I then discovered that we could make the default avatar whatever we wanted, so I created the current one with the North Coast logo and put "default avatar" right on there so people would know what it was and hopefully be inspired to change it to something else. However, we still have a whole bunch of people with the default avatar, which can make a thread hard to follow when there are a bunch of people in a row with the same avatar. So in some cases I have given people an avatar myself to try and break up that monotony. When I've done that I've tried to make it an avatar that the person would actually want, so either something relating to a team they follow or something that matches the theme of their username. Of course, it would be nice if everyone just went and got their own avatar. It's not that hard...just click on "Profile" in the top menu, then "edit profile"....which takes you right to the avatar page, which has several options for adding avatars: - use default avatar (this refers to a generic face, which you can go in an edit to make look like whatever you want by clicking "edit avatar" under the default avatar face) - use uploaded or linked (with a link to a box where you can insert the link to an image form the internet or upload one from your computer) - combine the previous 2 (have both show up) - use a forum avatar (choose from a list of images that we've added. Currently it's a bunch of football helmets for SBC and NOL teams, but I will soon started adding more to this)

OK so that explains where it came from. Thank you.

For some of you who still had the default avatar, your avatar is now just your username in black text on a white background. I'll keep changing that for more and more people in an attempt to get rid of the default avatar. I figure this is the closest thing we can get to letting people have no avatar while still being able to easily distinguish posters from each other (as opposed to seeing the same image over and over)
And of course, you can always change your avatar yourself to whatever you want.
