Cool thread - I never realised that HI's avatar was fireworks. Now I can't look at it without thinking of the sound of fireworks exploding - COOL.

Best avatar is a freaking hard choice. Great new ones from Piles of Boneseses pop up all the time. My recent favourite is Phrim's guy with the staff - he just looks so staunch! Any like that which aren't simply squares surely must count for more.

Where did the term avatar for the pictures come from? I thought an avatar was a mortal embodiment of a god??

By the way, my avatar OWNS cuteness. Whether that's a good thing or not is another matter! I started out with the Kid A album cover, but when no Radiohead fans came out of the woodwork I gave up. Damn you all!

Whoa! A preview button?!
