Mine has been the same ever since I joined, which I already used on the twisty puzzles forum. In the past I did had a different avatar there though:

For those who don’t know, apart from Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh cards I have a few other collections, like twisty puzzles. Here is the full picture of my avatar, of an 18 cm, regular Rubik’s sized, and 15 mm 3x3x3 Cube:

The regular sized Rubik’s Cube is in a pattern I came up with myself, which spells my initials KC.

My avatar is the same as my eBay avatar which I set back in 2010/11. It’s from a scan of my Illusion’s Zorua:

I won’t ever change it as there’s no need to mess with perfection.

Mine’s the same one I’ve had since day one. The picture comes from an old commission done for me by Monarobot of a Mayan Gyarados:

Ah yeah, I remember that one. :blush: You had it for the longest time until Alolan Vulpix was released.
Out of curiosity though, where does the 05 stand for? Or was that simply already there in the picture you’ve used (indicating it was made in 2005)?

@quuador I don’t know to be honest. It’s someone’s fan art I saved many years ago and I used that as an avatar for years on a Finnish Pokemon forum before I joined here. So yeah it could be that it was made in 2005, but I don’t actually know :blush: But I remember they had done similar art for various Pokemon. I just don’t remember the artist anymore

Which is claimed by Zachary Mendoza (scruffy_03)

They also claim this image:

I believe I’ve had this avatar since I first joined in 2016.

It’s my favorite old-school artwork of my favorite Pokemon, so haven’t had much reason to change it.

First avatar was the default avatar Scott had which happened to be Shining Tyranitar which is one of my top 5 favorite Pokemon and card. My second avatar happened to be this Pikachu also default which I love so I kept it! Plus I like people thinking I’m new and not taking me too seriously because at the end of the day I am new to collecting again. Yes I collected for years as a kid but sense I stopped for years it’s basically like starting from scratch because my card collection also had to start from scratch. I’d consider changing the avatar to Shining Charizard a card I worked so hard to get and my all time favorite! But at this rate I’m pro going to just roll with the default avatars Scott sets up sense he seems to have great picks everytime haha. Knowing my luck his next auto avatar will be the Shining Charizard I love anyways haha. Plus still trying to figure out how to add pictures easier and what not. I know Imgur but I have 40 plus pictures of my collection I’m trying to upload. I wish it was slightly easier for newbies to upload but overall great platform and half of it is just being lazy and overwhelmed with how many pictures I want to upload haha. Maybe I’ll just make a YouTube video of my collection :slight_smile:
