Apiphobic Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 (edited) For all those posters still carrying question marks around as your avatar, I thought you might like another option. Free Avatar Pictures collection for message boards, forums, blogs, myspace, yahoo, etc. Disclaimer: I have not viewed all of these pictures so it is possible there may be some that are offensive (too much cleavage, etc.), but it seemed tamer than some of the other sites I viewed in my search for avatars. ETA: Okay, yes, I've looked through some more avatars at this site and there are some quite offensive avatars. There are some really good ones, too, so you will have to decide for yourself whether or not to visit this site in search of an avatar.

Apiphobic Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 (edited) And if you have a favorite site for finding images for avatars, please post it. Here's a link to the WTM board's section about avatars and how to upload them. Edited October 22, 2008 by Apiphobic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamnkats Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 (edited) I didn't know sites like that existed! I thought people culled avatars from their pictures (like me)!
