I have to give thumbs up to Matis' avatar. Pretty cool.

Mantis's avatar reminds me of the nightmare before christhmas. Tim Burton IIRC.

too many got so much detail pushed into that little space that you can hardly see shit.
ugly johns avatar should be in gif to shine, the jpg compression used on it is really horrible, and not how I remember wasteland.

I'll stick with mine. For the past 4 years (with the username ExtremeDrinker), even at V13, I had a B&W pic of a guy holding a refreshing beer, and my sig was an animated neon Beer sign I made:
About a month ago, I got bored and started changing my avatar about once a week, but I've decided to stick with the one I've got now..It reflects my personality, my chubbyness, my love for punch & pie, and my willingness to hit animals/children with sticks.
Cartman kicks ass.

I wanted to change my avatar to the animated one in my sig, but nooooooooooooo, it has to be less than 9k....pfft. I think it would win too!

Now that would be giving snake - so in the end it would be a poll about those who applies avatars, and once there the poll would as usual probably have shitty results - and do nothing.
Of course it does do away some elitism, but I wonder if that is not a bad thing in this - where people love avatars with bad colouring and a outline of never removed white pixels in their gifs - or just those that lack any minimalism and use a mesh of stuff one can only pick up by a study of the avatar, something probably one shouldn't consider a good trait as one might view the avatar as a logo of sorts.
The best way I've seen to do this testing of avatars is by posting on deviantart.com with the avatars in question, and then see how many hits you get saying that it is good - the problem there is the large influx of pro anime users, not that anime in my opinion is bad, but anyone with a anime avatar will probably be given an boost. Anyway by doing this, and not begging people to look and consider the avantar, you will be given the reaction from someone who read the text, and like a normal users just noticed the avatar, and did not go in just to study the avantar in question causing the focus to shift like it does here in this thread.

Evilmonkey, your post is one of the smartest most eloquent (i think it's the right word... i'm french) one i have read in a long time.but as far as my avatar goes... i'll try the .gif and i would not vote for mine in a poll, because there are way more better ones out there, including yours.

I've seen them all up to the one where John and Aeryn get particleized.
BTW I hear they're working with some of the actors to make a new miniseries of it to tie everything up.
Are people offended by Farscape here? Yeesh. Tough crowd.
As for avatars.. hmm.. perhaps I should make a new one? Its been a while since I had an avatar.

I thought it was good even season 1. Although the makeup wasn't as great, it still had its charm. "Don't move! Or I'll fill you full of.. little.. yellow.. bolts of light! "

I think mine is cool. But I liked Odin's old one better, or does he still have that one?

I still favor Grim Reaper, but Eye-master is pretty spiffy.
