    Biter is the term you are looking for. I had the same thing - oops, someone else has the same avatar. It was a bit of a surprise I guess.

    Shrug, avatars are throwaway things to me anyway.. use them and chuck them out when I find a better one.

    "read what Steve says. He's right."
    "What Steve said pretty much summed it up."
    "I did axactly as you said and it worked...!!"
    "Wow, Great advise there DB."

    I didn't own the picture in the first place so no complaints.
    Yeah mashman eh?
    I normally can scroll down a page and go by the avitar and know who has posted, but in your case, at times it will be mashman.

    Two people having the same avatar could be annoying, but how do you know if they coppied you or simply used the same (freely available) picture from the internet.

    Exactly.

    there was that rossi gif doing the rounds near end of last years motogp, bout 4 or 5 people had that I think, I would have jumped on the bandwagon but the rocking out cat one is too awesome to give up.

    So in summary, if it was an avatar i'd made, yeh i'd be fucked off if someone took it, but one I'd found off the net, nah, its all good bro.

    Zen wisdom: No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. - obviously had KB in mind when he came up with that gem

    Now that made me laugh. Good on yer!

    Now pay me zillions of dollars - as I apparently own the intellectual rights.

    Or just call me a whaaambulance.

    you know the puppet "animal" was actually inspired by a real drummer called Carmine Apice..... quite a famous session drummer.

    just a little pointless trivia for yous

    Think it was a muppet with Ronald McDonald's face on it. Search "wtf animated gif" on Google and you'll find it ;-)

    Enough fun, changing back the avatar now.


    Speaking of which, time to "make" a new GIF avatar....


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    Sure about that? All the wisdom I've ever heard says it was Keith Moon.
    And to cock a snook at the devil, no-one's been game to use my avatar. Going on 5 years now.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
