People are getting pretty serious about me having an avatar. I'm new to forums in general so I'm wondering what the proper netiquette is for avatars. Should I go with an actual photo or a symbol type image? What are the pros and cons? Am I over thinking this?
Personally I feel very accurately represented by most generic avatars.

Whatever you want, except for porn images, I guess. You can always change the avatar whenever you want.

Whatever you like.
Something that you're interested in or you enjoy.

I suggest an actual photo of yourself. It worked for Diablo....

I ended up going with Howard the Duck. Here's why:
A few months back, my daughter and I picked up Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. The story of the game covers two big events in the comics: The Secret Wars and The Civil Wars. Two story arcs I haven't read, so I did some reading up.
Oh SPOILERS!!! I guess.
At the end of the Civil Wars, it's decided to assign a government sanctioned Avengers Team to each state, in what's called the 50 States Initiative. Each team is made up of superheroes who have registered with the government. Having read this, my daughter and I got super excited because this means Ohio must have its own Avengers Team. How flippin cool! So I find a web page with the list of states and their assigned Avengers Team. New York has The Mighty Avengers lead by Iron-Man, New Jersey has the Last Defenders-- this is getting pretty exciting. My daughter and I are speculating who we think we got as we scroll through.
Finally, we get to Ohio and who do we have? Howard the Duck...and we don't have a team name...
So we adopted our northeast Ohio sports mentality and decided to love him no matter how terrible it is. And we do.
So for an atheist forum, I thought it would be appropriate to have my avatar be my own personal and state wide savior, Howard the Duck. Cleveland needs a hero.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
