Avatars: what is with the hats?

[eagle5953]

What is with the Santa-style hats on everyone's avatars? Is it just a winter thing? Is it just a weird meme limited to the benheck forums?

And many look similar - where is everyone getting the original image?

Maybe they are lazy (like me) to change them back to non-hat wearing avatars.

[bicostp]

Santa hat-ifying your avatar is a Christmas tradition here. You can probably find the thread about it somewhere a couple pages back in F42.

Some of us are just lazier about switching back to the regular non-hat-ified one than others. (I think Spongebuell has had that one up constantly since '07.)

Hmmm, yep, that sounds about right

[eagle5953]

I see I've spurred at least one individual (bicostp) to revert his avatar.

I guess it's too late to Christmas-ify my avatar, but perhaps I will come up with the image anyway and just save it for next year. Or maybe I'll procrastinate...

I can't tell if you're trying to disprove SonyPortableizer, or support him...cause it's obviously an asian family celebrating christmas....but at the same time, it looks kinda out of place (probably because of the tree type being used)

[eagle5953]

OK, ready for next year:


Now I'll just need to remember to switch to it around Thanksgiving...

[Kurt_]

Why not do it now and get an early start?

[thehackerinside]

No point changing it now, only 10 months to go!

[Metallica Man X]

I'm diggin' that drab color for your avatar's hat...looks pretty sweet!

[nitro2k01]

Just for the lulz, why not ban the use of santa hat avatars during december and encourage it during the rest of the year?

[typamc95]

I believe your referring to "T-e-h Lulz" {it's censored and replace with the}

[cennar]

also where do I draw the line here:



I'm only allowed to use this in April.

*or possibly on another forum.*
