    Just a thought really. There's quite a variety of avatars on here, and I was wondering if people think that there's some psychology behind it?

    For example, we have our resident cats, Poggo and Anon who are experienced punters and these animals (to me) portray a sense of wild, free and powerful personalities. Westside mentioned Alec Horan changing his avatar all the time... perhaps this represents a sense of a free spirited person who is unsettled or perhaps doesn't know what he wants?

    All this is of course hypothetical, and it could be because they just like the pictures, but a psychoanalytical (Freudian) approach to psychology would suggest a deeper meaning to this.

    What does everyone else think?

    I just chose my Spock avatar as I am a lifelong Star Trek fan.
    Whether or not there is a deeper meaning to that I dont know.

    Perhaps the whole 'sci-fi' fantasy thing has a meaning to it. Do you wish for an alternative lifestyle?

    I chose mine because...

    I like it?
    Is this the land where sun brightly shines, is this the existence of a heaven's sign?
    Is this the locus the hallowed focus, where grace love and harmony combine?

    “All right,” said the Cat; and this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone.

    That you are a mature person and confident of your heterosexuality.
