How Often Do You Update Your Avatar?

I've kept mine since Matlock kindly constructed it by way of request in the "Matlock will make you an Adult Swim GIF" thread. Although I changed it once for the upcoming release of Weezer's new album.

Might change it sometime in the future. Might not. Coach McGuirk is quite appealing.
 
The first...

Had it for several months.

The second...only a couple of days.

The current I've had for several months as well.
 
I try to keep mine all La Parka all the time. Because La Parka is love.

One day I will make an animated La Parka gif.. and all of GAF will rejoice.
 
I've had my current avatar for well over a year now. I hate with people change their avatars all the time as it makes it hard for me to pinpoint their posts. I can look at their name of course or look their posts up in their profile but it's much quicker to scan for their avatar.
 
Whenever i see a picture i really like, basically. That's usually a couple months apart, at the least.
 
I usually go with one for a long period of time. When I get board of it, I switch a bunch in a short period of time till I find one I like and repeat the cycle.
 
it varies. sometimes i'll keep the same avatar for months, even up to a year and other times I'll change from week to week.

<---- just made it last night
 
For Never!

She don't know what she's doin'. She don't know what she's doin.
She know's exactly what she's doing..
Oilin'. Lotion. Oilin'. Lotion.
I can't TAKE it anymore!

Even though none of us had ever actually seen a naked woman, a fact we constantly lied about, Squints had taken one step closer to manhood:He had kissed a woman, he had kissed her long and good.

Oh, here's your glasses. Did you plan that?
Of course I did. been planning it for years.
You GUYS! HE PLANNED THAT!

I miss the pandas. :(

you know you are the first person that said anything... been thinking about bringing them back.... sometimes I can't find my own post!!!
 
Twice a year:

During the NBA season, I'll sport the Bulls-Mavs avatar.
During the off-season, it's back to MJ.

I'll "second" for bringing back the pandas. Pandas > *
 
Every month or two, and it usually involves a movie or television show I'm digging at the time. I try hard to pick something I'll like for a while, otherwise quickly changing it again is just confusing to other users.

I hate people that do random avatars. It just defeats the whole purpose. Also, Manabyte, since he seems to change his avatar multiple times daily.

You've picked a great series to dig. I once watched all of Band of Brothers in one sitting. Greatest WWII drama, hands down.
 
Odd... I didn't get a chance to upload one of the fixed avatars from above, but now my avatar is showing up correctly.
 
I've only ever had Raph as my avatar, except when MAFmania hit, and I kept MRAF (MRAPH?) far longer than I should have :lol

So I've only ever changed it once in about five years, over two different forums (NN and GAF).

Though I am contemplating changing it to junkwaffle's potrait of myself. :D

I'm with Raoul, the pandas must return!
 
I update it every six weeks or so, although whenever I do update, I go through several revisions or styles before sticking to one.
 
I've had just 2 icons:

linkborrachus.gif
<--- since the old GAF days...

And now:


Soma.gif
<--- I'll probably go back to the old one once my Castlevania fever is gone :p ...
 
Just made this one with that program the thread starter mentioned...the 2nd and 3rd pics look messed up (only after I transfer them over to Photobucket, not before), but meh.
 
Haven't changed mine yet since the new incarnation of the GA forum...I used to have Kramer...but I guess today is a good time to change it. Still Kirk related, though.
