I enjoy when people use their pictures as avatars. Like many of you have already said, it makes members more "real" and not just intangible internet personalities. On the other hand, it irks me when the male contingent of these boards use pictures of girls as their avatars. I'm so used to people using pictures of themselves or cartoons or recognizable celebrities that when I see a hott female paired with a guy's post i get a little confused.
