Why did you choose what your avatar is?

I liked your old avatar better, Clam Spammer! Why'd you change it?

It helps to explain why I chose my avatar (and username too). You asked for it by starting this thread.

I think I will keep this for a while, considering the effort it took to get it - I had to jump on my other computer and dig out my Civ 4 cd especially for this.

Except it doesn't really explain much, other than that it has something to do with the game Civilization 4 from what I gather. Any chance you'd explain how clams fit into that game for those who never played it?

Wow.. you're getting a little curious... which is a good thing because I am as well.

I haven't checked it out. It might seem shocking to all of you but I say this again: I have the option to avoid showing people's avatars, including mine (which is pretty strange, isn't it?)

Clams are one of very few links between Lemmings and Civ - my favourite games at the time I joined the forums. That's why I chose them for my username (and avatar too of course). Although I don't play Civ any more. Anyway, what clams do in Civ is they provide food for your people so they don't starve.

Cool!

My avatar is just the most recent Lemmings-related art thing I did that was about the right size. No deep meaning or what.

The Doctor · December 29, 2010, 07:24:45 AM

My avatar I chose because I rather like Adventure Time. Easy!

Nortaneous · December 29, 2010, 12:06:40 PM

Ripped the sprites from Hocus Pocus (old DOS game that, along with Lemmings and Tyrian, took up most of my childhood) a while back and made a few avatars from that. I like this one the best, so I use it on most sites.

Gronkling · December 29, 2010, 12:19:45 PM

I don't know really. I just thought it looked funny.

Look at my avatar. It's some lemmings and two Digimons. This was a screenshot of an episode I made years ago. I chose it because I thought it was cool.

Oh, and the avatar you got, Adam, very classic. Sega Lemmings.

GigaLem · May 11, 2011, 07:56:34 PM

Sonic Generations
With classic and modern sonic CAN'T wait

I've had this avatar (a 3D-blocker lemming with darkish green background) since I joined here. Nothing special, actually I think my avatar is probably the blandest one here. A friend of mine made this to me when we were in high school, I just gave him the picture of that lemming and he added the background.

http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/tongue.gif" alt=":P" title="Tongue" class="smiley" /> Years later I joined here and thought that I could use this as my avatar.

Recently I was thinking of changing my avatar for variety and fun, but didn't do that for the time being. In some (larger) forums avatars could play a bigger role in such a way that people possibly remember members from their avatars, not from their usernames, for example. I think our forum is enough small that people know each other even though avatars would change.

EDIT: Just found this topic related closely to this one.
