Explain Your Avatar and Username

Post Reply New Topic

Because I draw..basically.

Draw + er = Drawer (but it reminds people of something else) so because I need my SO which has "y" chromosome, I add "y".
so I got Drawyer.

As for my avatar.. I just googled randomly. I spot her and copied her and I don't know who she is..

Google image search also doesn't really show who she is or where she came from. You just get conflicting results. For example:

http://bleach-rp.wikia.com/wiki/Asuka_Haruko
http://the-naruto-world.wikia.com/wiki/Mallory

Who knows?

Whoa...you're good at googling!!

It's just google image search and clicking the results. The page of full results: (warning: huge f*****g URL)

https://www.google.co.uk/search?tbs=sbi ... M&hl=en-GB

You picked up just "the right word", which is key to googling.. =)

I copy and pasted your avatar URL into google image search and that's what it puts out. Literally takes a second.

Your avatar URL is this:
download/file.php?avatar=108699_1438602982.jpg

Google images:
https://www.google.co.uk/imghp?

Click the camera next to the search button and microphone and put that URL in and it gives you the long URL. It shows each time that image has been uploaded and links to the websites.

You have lots of ability, Iliketrees. I believe you will make your mark, some day.

Hey, I love trees by the way...

And that was really a good tip ! I didn't know that.

My username stems from who I am and the way my friends see me. Been told I fit the tropes of the eccentric sage and the frontline general which makes for a very interesting combination.

My avatar isn't really that special. Was bored one day and made a fancy looking text with the name of the series I write. It's a rather nice screensaver though

Wow, that's incredibly thoughtful.

My name is Ezra, but Ezra had already been taken, so I went with EzraS for Ezra Shea (Shea is my middle name and nickname).
My avatar is me standing on my local beach conducting seagulls.

How do you conduct seagulls?

Thank you. I'm glad you see it that way.

Username: My initials are AP, and "the AP" is a nickname I used to have for myself.

Avatar: I Googled images with the phrase "let it be" in it because I thought it was a good philosophy for life. I thought this one was pretty, so I used it.

The US Marine Corps and the BNSF Railway were two major interests around the time I joined. "dude" was my standard suffix to usernames on the web, usually preceeded by some combination of thing I liked about the military or trains.

My avatar is a logo I found of a fictional railroad in the Thomas the Tank Engine universe I was obsessed with as a five year old. I have no post-toddler attachment to Thomas & Friends (I'm not that aspergic) but I think it looks nice.

User name is a character in Philip K. Dick's novel Ubik.

Avatar represents how most of the world seems to me and how I probably seem to most of it.
