THANKS TO b1tchm4gn3t for this POLL IDEA
ORIGINALLY POSTED SUGGESTION IN THIS POST:
https://forum.videohelp.com/viewtopic.php?p=893622#893622
So is it ok to just swipe somebody's avatar or do you take the time to make your own?
I usually take something off the net and do my own cropping to get it down to whatever size restriction a particular forum has set. So in away it's my "own avatar" but not really - but my choice of cropping is unique.

I don't believe you should just use somebody elses avatar, however I neither swiped mine nor made my own. My avatar was custom made for me by Steve Troop, the artist of the webcomic "Melonpool".

no! not on the same message board anyways... that's your "name & face" i have gotten to know you by. you don't just take someone else's face!
I am just a worthless liar,
I am just an imbecil -
The question shouldn't be "is it OK". It should be "Is it cool to use someone else's avatar?" The answer is yes, it's ok and no it's not cool.
I made my own avatar, but I didn't create the character in it (Thurgood Stubbs from "The PJs"). So I guess I could be a little cooler if I made it all from scratch... or maybe not. Who has time to do that? LOL

Uncool. And I'd politely ask anyone using mine to pick something else. Not that my avatar is 100% my own work - It's tweaked (by me) photo.

I'm still looking. Most of the ones I have wanted to post are too large to be posted under the guidelines for this site. When viewed on a 17" or 19" monitor they look tiny. Best though to make your own as it's like your signature....unique....

it doesn't take much effort to at least make something a bit your own work. mine's a normal mean smiley i added a lit cigar to. 20 minutes tops.

Mine's cropped from a photo I took last year on safari. It looks like the baboon is thinking...in reality, well, that's between him, me and the lens....

Stop being lazy & get your own.

I think it's in bad form to take someone else's avatar. It's like stealing someone's identity.
Most of the time we get used to quickly identifying a poster by their avatar. It's a unique thing that should belong to that person
