Sorry this is kind of a pointless thread. I'm really just looking for a user who had the famous Sega character Sonic running in place for an avatar.

I really tried searching through 6 pages [watch someone put me to shame and finds in 2 seconds] and I know I saw it somewhere here in the General Discussion area. Hopefully, the user hasn't changed their avatar in the meantime.

I just like collecting little video game gif/animations like that. Brings back those good times to the Internet right along with emulators.

Thanks to all who devote time!

Oooh, burn. Ah, childhood. I remember salivating over the first Sonic game when it came out, wishing I could someday own a Sega Genesis.

Are you sure? You just got that one from vgernet.net.

I forgot to mention that I did save it but I was using IE [stupidly before wising up and switching to Firefox; it's a godsend] to do it and it has some kind of bug that incorrectly renders picture files in the Save As dialog. So, after multiple right-clicks and Save As dialogs I never got to the choose the gif format in which it was in [wasn't listed in the dropdown box either - part of the bug]. So looking at it now, Sonic's feet are spinning circularly yet so fast they appear to be blurry [being a bitmap it's a still shot of this].

Thanks for the effort, though.

Can't help with that one, but mind if I make a request of my own? I've been looking for the person who has/had the Will Ferrel cowbell avatar. Will Ferrel hitting the cowbell on SNL. Anybody happen to know who has that one?

I don't mean to threadjack, just figured I might as well use this avatar thread rather than starting a second one

whocarz

Fenton-J-Cool is the dude with Will Ferrel banging the cowbell.

I believe the man you're looking for is RubberSouls. He's no longer using said avatar, so you'd have to PM him to find the one he was using. I might have been the one posted, but I thought the little guy was in charge mode with the legs in a blur.

Bentley Little

I saw someone who is "choskins" who is using it as well.

Thanks, GakFace! I'd knew you'd come through.
For some odd reason, I had an underlying feeling and thought of your avatar as I was typing my post, then I said: "Nah, he probably wouldn't [know] post here."

Look how I was wrong. Thanks!
I'll list my answer here with what happens.

No problem, todd. I know how frustrating it gets when you lose sight of a cool avatar.

Side note: Maybe I've started a phenomenon? We could get this thread renamed to "Where's that avatar?!". And get everybody in on the rage?
