Tedhaun Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 but what's an avatar? I've noticed some people posting about it, but I don't think they were talking about the ones on Neopets. Are there avatars on forums or something Avatars on forums? Do you mean profile pictures? Then yes, there are avatars on forums like this one. Since the forum upgrade of December 2011, avatars have sort of been merged with profile pictures. A forum avatar is an image that people use to establish their online persona. You can set or change your forum avatar/profile picture right here: http://www.tdnforums.com/index.php?app=members&module=profile§ion=photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
complicatedwishes Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 no, it's definitely a valid question. I had to write an essay for my course about avatars and gender on World Of Warcraft. If I google for a definition it says: An avatar is something that represents you in the virtual (computer) world. But there's different "types" I guess? Like on this forum you can choose one that you feel relates to yourself. In my case I chose an actual photo of myself. On other games such as WoW it's your character, and what you've customized your character to look like, same goes for virtual chat rooms such as Habbo. Hope we've helped!

I've been playing Neopets for ten years or so (but I took a break until last year) and I really regret not finding this place sooner! This topic has been edited by a member of staff (Neomysterion).
