[OT] What's with the real pics for avatar icons? ;)

[TalonComics]

I'm sure I missed this somewhere but when did people decide to post their real pics as their avatar icons?

Is this so we can go, "Oh crap! Here comes (name deleted), run!" when we're at Gencon?

I'm just curious as I'm considering posting my own pic now so then everyone can say, "Oh crap! Here comes that insane retailer/gamer who rants about buying discounted books from Wal-Mart! Run!"

I think I was one of the first, and then everyone else sort of ran with it...

My bad. Is it true that smurfs are blue due to the fact that there is only one smurfette...?

Why do I feel like we're starting a scene from the movie Donnie Darko?

Well, at least it wasn't the question about the guy from the D&D Movie...

Actually, I'm kinda curious about this myself -- it seems to be the latest trend to post real pictures as avatars. I'm kinda fond of my avatar, actually, so I don't know that I want to replace it, though. But even I've been having second thoughts because of all the peer pressure.

I've had my pic since the old version of the boards, I think. I really should update it, since I have short hair now.

Do you still have that continuous scar where you shaved too close...?
