Why did you choose it?
What was your second choice?

Because as much as I love Jonas (who would be my second choice), I didn't really care for the pic used in the icon. I also love McKay and I figure his personality is much more suited towards mine- sarcastic and condescending. ;)
If I ever get to unlock the goa'uld icons, I'll probably go for Nirrti. :D

i chose skaara because he is awesome, but its only temporary till i unlock the rest. i really want thor. i wish i knew how many posts it takes to unlock them.

Mine's from Changeling cos it's the best episode ever. Fact.

I wanted Chaka, but he wasn't one of the choices. This one works...for now.

I picked the Stargate because there weren't any others that I wanted (simple enough huh? ;)), I picked the one with a purple puddle because purple's my favorite color.

I chose Daniel from Beneath the Surface. David kindly desaturated him for me so that he's in black and white. Daniel's my favourite character - my next choice would have been either Jessica Weir or Mackay in honour of Atlantis.
A good friend, Doc, once suggested watching Beneath the Surface in black and white as it added a whole new dimension to the episode. I was skeptical but I did give it a try (by fiddling with the colour controls on the telly) and I have to say it turned what I thought was an all right episode into a stonkingly good riveting bit of TV! It added a lot of depth to both the characters of Jack and Daniel and the story itself really suited the noir feel. I'd recommend anyone giving it a try.

I picked glowy Oma from Maternal Instinct because the first time I watched it I thought it was one of the most beautiful shots I've ever seen. And at that point (before everyone and there mother could ascend) I thought that the ascended beings were just breathtaking.

Tok'Ra Hostess
May 6th, 2004, 11:15 AM
What does your choice of avatar say about you?
Why did you choose it?
What was your second choice?
It says that I like the Tok'Ra; I think they are an interesting offshoot from the Goa'uld. I'd dearly love to see them more fully developed(as I would the Goa'uld!) and I find myself defending their actions and mentality a lot in some forums. ;)
I chose Shau'nac because of the delicious irony that she represents. She wanted to help a Goa'uld become a Tok'Ra, thinking Tok'Ra were some wonderful, enlightened people who could help further enlighten her wonderful "child" Tanith. Will my trust in the Tok'Ra's greater moral goodness eventually prove to be as mal-placed as Shau'nac's in her larval child? I'll have to tune in to season 8 for a possible answer. :)
Second choice? Nope, there were no second choices, for me.
Hatusu

Oh yeah! I had her first!:( :p

Why did you choose it?
What was your second choice?
Because SAM is my favorite charactor and I really like the pic. :D
Bektrek

What does your choice of avatar say about you?
That I'm cool :cool:
Why did you choose it?
Because it's cool
What was your second choice?
Well, when I figure out how to put my Johnny Depp icon on here that will replace it
Sela
May 7th, 2004, 07:11 PM
Beneath the surface in black and white...cool idea! Now where did I put my remote?
Mr Prophet
May 7th, 2004, 08:11 PM
Harry rocks! What's not to like?
and Lord Clangu'ur isn't available...
But you're a System Lord. Can't you have whatever avatar you want?
Mine is Junior because I couldn't use my Professor Yaffle image, and I feel wrong representing myself with another person's face. On LiveJournal I sometimes use Dr Whos to represent emotions, but not to represent me, if you take my meaning; it just feels wonky.
Nolamom
May 7th, 2004, 09:56 PM
Well, in just the right light, she looks a bit like me. Scary huh? Besides, there's something about knowing the candle is light meaning that the meal was cooked long ago that has a catchy ring to it...
Nmom
Newbie
May 7th, 2004, 10:33 PM
Well I chose Danny first, but then everybody had it, so I had to switch, and it seems to me that no one has my avatar, anyway i like star trek, and jolene blalock, so do the math
JakeDeuxPointZero
May 7th, 2004, 11:27 PM
Well, you know, Walter Davis isn't exactly available (any admin-types listening? I think it'd be harmless enough to put him on the list of avatars you don't have to unlock...), so I didn't choose one. However, go to my profile, you'll see he is my other picture... for some reason you get a profile picture too.
joker_smile
May 8th, 2004, 01:07 AM
Picked Sam because she ROCKS!! She's an intelligent, strong, beautiful woman.
My second choice would have been my own pic of jack and sam kissing ;)
Zod
May 8th, 2004, 08:00 AM
cause the guy is an ******* like me
thor39
May 8th, 2004, 02:50 PM
I choose mine because bray is just so cool
Second coice probably Thor
Newbie
May 8th, 2004, 10:05 PM
i'll bet every1 here will have thor when we rich over the border...so ADMINS pls get different Asgard avatars...so that all of us won't have the same...and i know that because i myslef want Thor avatar :D
JakeDeuxPointZero
May 9th, 2004, 12:45 AM
Well, I just changed mine to Ashwan because I just saw "Memento" and thought it was an awesome episode.
But I'm still switching to Walter Davis if such an avatar becomes available...
stargate barbie
May 19th, 2004, 07:11 PM
i picked herak, because i think other than teal'c, he and lord yus first primes are the coolest ones.
i didn't pick any of sg-1 because i don't have a favourite one and i didn't want it to look like i do.
my second choice's are too numerous to list. :)
Odens återkomst
May 19th, 2004, 07:45 PM
I wanted a Asgard avatar, but there are none. So I picked Opher of the Nox, because he is the coolest character that I had to pick from.
"Come... you have much to learn"
- Opher, "The Nox"

My favorite Char's are Jack and Sam, I would have chosen Sam but I didnt like the avatar picture so I choose Jack. If I can upload my own avatar I will upload the avatar I use on every forum I visit: http://www.stargatesg1.com/home/episodes/images/60X60/Fairgam3.gif

May 20th, 2004, 01:33 PM
I picked Doc Fraiser because I loved how she could back anybody down with just a look.She was sweet,funny,& fierce.Besides,she was short like me,that & I have a connection to her surname[albeit a different spelling].
I miss the "Napoleonic Power Monger".:(

May 20th, 2004, 02:06 PM
I chose Sha're because she's Daniel's wife. In another life, that's who I would want to be married to.
poppy_popcorn
May 20th, 2004, 04:35 PM
What does your choice of avatar say about you? Well, Shau'nac really brings out my personality. We both like Teal'c (love him actually, but I'm only 16 so I'm a little to young), Jaffa rock, we both trust in situations that we shouldn't (which in Shau'nac's case lead to her death), and we both even look a little alike! If I were on the show, I would love to be her daughter!
Why did you choose it? I think the top answer covers this.
What was your second choice? Sam, it would absolutely be her. Shes so cute, and shes so SMART!
David85
May 20th, 2004, 06:23 PM
I choose it because it's what the show is named after.
I didn't have a second choose because I didn't care that much.
What it says about me is that I don't give a damn, and I'm just using this until I can get my own loaded into it and have my rainbow cat icon.
**Osiris**
May 20th, 2004, 06:41 PM
I picked this one because i like Jack and there was not an Osiris picture. ;)

May 20th, 2004, 06:46 PM
I chose it because it's a chevron....how cool is that? Though, I'd like a blue chevron....
USS Thunderchild
May 20th, 2004, 10:21 PM

Not to worry, everyone! There are over 200 avatars for long-term users! Everything's been covered. In the next month or so you'll see people who have passed the mark pop up with new looks.
Oh, and I chose an avatar of me because I have no problem looking like myself.
debskec
May 21st, 2004, 02:05 PM
Picked Reece (sp?) because I think her character added an interesting twist to the storyline of the show. Such an innocent and child-like 'person' created a toy thats now a major threat to one of the most advanced races in the Stargate universe.
hm... now how to unleash something like that on my boss... ;)
Deb
Oh, my first choice would've been Nirriti, but she's not available yet.

Some of us, like me, work long hours and are only able to get on during the weekends and an occasional evening and the early morning hours. Also, I don't just post to see myself posting and to raise my post cost. 'Quality vs Quantity' and all that. ;) That's got to count for something, hmmm? Are those new avatars only for long term users based on time with the forum or with high posts? Are we going to be able to access those avatars as well?

Unlocking new avatars depends on post count as well as amount of time that you've been a member, not necessarily spent in the forum. Though it doesn't hurt. If you're a long-termer (planning on sticking around), I really wouldn't worry. This forum is designed to place longevity in your favor.

Out of curiosity, Darren said that some members should already have unlocked the next level of avs. Is he right, or did he make a mistake? 'cause I sure haven't seen anything new...

Trust me Shadowboy, you won't be jipped. Once you hit a predetermined setting they will automatically unlock.

Some of our members have already reached this level. It unlocks several new avatar categories!
If some of the members have already reached that level I'd like to know who they are so I can thank them for posting more than I do. :P
Sela
May 22nd, 2004, 03:52 PM
I've been on the new board for just about a month and will probably only reach 30 posts by June 1st. If it takes a high post count, I'm just out of luck because it's probably going to take me a lo-o-o-o-ng time to raise my post count.
Oh well, I guess it's a good thing I like my Ancient avatar. :)
Iskandra
May 22nd, 2004, 05:16 PM
Well...until I can use my own pic as an avatar (scare the hell out of you :D), I stick with Daniel, of course because he's my favourite and cute and all that, but also because I can relate to him very much (being in the same line of work in RL as a linguist and such).
LtLisa
May 22nd, 2004, 11:33 PM
I mostly post on the S/J shipper thread so I really wanted one of them kissing or at least together...settled for Grace...cause she looks like she could be their kid and I assumed from the episode that she was meant to (at least) be Sam's kid, if not hers and Jack's
Bagpuss
May 23rd, 2004, 04:02 AM
My Fave SG-1 Main Character is Sam,but I felt that would be just too obvious
and loads of other Posters already have her Avatar anyway. ;)
I chose Tonane from the episode "Spirits",as he was such a cool character.
He never seemed fazed,or judgemental,no matter what happened.He just seemed to be so "Laid-Back",and content.Lovely guy.
My choice also reflects my personal respect for Native Americans,and other Races,around the World.
Tonane stays! :cool: *Cough* till just lately at least. :)
Edited to add: Changed my Avatar to Dr Rodney McKay, as I didn't want to come off as Preachy/Political to other Posters. Also I wanted to start showing goodwill towards SG Atlantis and some overt support for the Actor David Hewlett.I'd have picked his piccie already, if Shadow hadn't beaten me to it.
Now she's got the Nirrti Avatar,I'm grabbing this one! :D
Edit to remove hyper "!"s....;)
Dramaqueen
May 23rd, 2004, 05:33 AM
I used to have Reese, but I changed it like two minutes ago... wasn't the first time I changed it, it's kinda though to make a decision :S so I guess the only thing my avatar says about me, is that I have certain difficulties to make decisions... I chose Sam this time cause I really like this picture :D ... my second choice after all those first choices I made would be one of the stargate/DHD avatars.
ShadowMaat
June 8th, 2004, 10:07 PM
Got my sparky new av, so I guess I should say why I chose it.
First of all, it's female, so I figured I'd give poor addle-pated Davey-girl a wee bit of a break in that regard. ;)
Second, it's Nirrti. I mean, come on, what's not to love about her? She's a total bad-ass who isn't above using people as guinea pigs to get what she wants. And what she wants is nothing short of perfection. Ya gotta admire that sort of ruthless determination. ;) She also got to cozy up real close to Jonas in Metamorphosis (and even closer in a fic I wrote). :D
Very wise of her to realize that Jonas IS near-perfect. Makes her smarter than just about everyone else on the show. :P

LOL! No problems with your choice and reasoning ,Shadow. :D
I edited my earlier post about my change of Avatar, and all I can add here is this: I'll look after the RM/DH Avatar for now,as he'd have been my first choice, if a certain other Poster hadn't bagged him already,when the Forum opened... ;)
I suppose I just like the less obvious choices. ;)
If anyone thinks I'm a guy,I'd like to assure them that,despite appearances,with the Male Cartoon Cat, and choices of Male Avatars,that I'm in fact, entirely of the Female Gender/Sex ! :D

Exclaimation Point
June 11th, 2004, 01:44 AM
I originally picked Oma for my avatar. I liked the glowy light behind her head affect. However, when I recently checked out the avatars I decided to change it to Kera. I liked the character. And, I figure I'll never see my screen name on the show... like someone will be walking around carrying a giant exclaimation point or something! :p
Jprime
June 11th, 2004, 08:31 AM
I picked the DHD because they look mega-cool (im making a phone and a clock to look like a dhd) and nobody else had that particular view at the time.
MartoufMarty
June 11th, 2004, 01:18 PM
... because Menace is my favorite episode EVER, Reese is just so cool. Osiris isn't there, i can't put up my own, and i don't know if they'd ever put mine up even if i could :(
:P
Anubis
June 11th, 2004, 01:39 PM
Oh goodie. I recently changed my avatar to Anubis, one that is custom by GateWorld, not my own. If it was my own, it would be like the one in my siggy
So glad I got my Anubis
Elwe Singollo
June 11th, 2004, 01:48 PM
Hmm... Why did i choose my avatar... I chose Jonas because hes one of my favorite characters, the other is Daniel, but hes already in my profile picture :)
puddlejumper747
July 13th, 2004, 04:59 PM
I chose this one because it was the most appropriate one I could find, but I really wanted to put on my own custom Atlantis Stargate.
Does anyone know how long it takes until you can upload custom icons?
Janus
July 14th, 2004, 01:14 PM
I like to keep things simple, so I chose a picture of the Gate.
Besides, I'm Janus...the mysterious one.
Ohh, spooky ! :D
And this Gate-picture is nicely general and neutral.
Major Tyler
July 14th, 2004, 02:27 PM
I chose Lt. Tyler because I am Major Tyler...and he's just cool.

furlingirl
July 28th, 2004, 01:26 PM
I wanted Major Davis, but apparently I'm not worthy yet ;) so I picked Tagar for his big square head!
greytop
August 2nd, 2004, 11:22 AM
At first I had the gate but when the new avatars came out for everyone I chose Katherine. I remember seeing her with grey hair. She was the closest to my user name, hence greytop.

August 2nd, 2004, 11:29 AM

GateGipsy
August 2nd, 2004, 11:37 AM
I chose Daniel as he's my favourite character. As a perk of being a mod we can use our own avatars. Mine is taken from Beneath the Surface, one of my fave eps, taken in black and white. This is a particularly good ep to watch in B&W - it changes the mood of the story considerably.
Anubis
August 2nd, 2004, 11:47 AM
Black and white colouring? Strange! I might give it a try

ShadowMaat
August 2nd, 2004, 06:35 PM
I picked Hathor because she's a strong female character who knows what she wants and gets it, no matter what. :D I like the power she has over men. I could wish for a bit of that, myself. *wistful sigh* I chose to make an av of the scene where she's looking back before escaping through the stargate because it's a cool shot with a malevolent promise of things to come.
DownFallAngel
August 2nd, 2004, 06:50 PM
Damn Maat mad thought into choosing one small pic. lol. Nice choice though.
I choose Woolsey, cause I really liked his character alot. He was so strong and true to his beliefs, and even though he was NID owned, he allied himself with the truer cause of the SGC. I give him a round of applause for that. I am also hoping to see the return of his character. :D
ShadowMaat
August 2nd, 2004, 06:59 PM
She has cool hair, too. ;) I like the bangly things. Makes her look more tribal or something...
DownFallAngel
August 2nd, 2004, 07:00 PM
I have to say her ferimone breathe was really cool though. I could see that working in your favor.....I guess.
But yea, she was a cool character. We don't really know if she is dead....
Elwe Singollo
August 2nd, 2004, 11:50 PM
Not to bash Hathor, but did anyone else laugh on how Jack kept on commenting that she had to do something with the breath in the S3 opener? Haha...
Yosho
August 3rd, 2004, 11:11 PM
I choose Beckett cause he is Scotish and Scotish people are cool and funny. :D
Elwe Singollo
August 3rd, 2004, 11:46 PM
I alternate between Jonas/Daniel avatars, but due to the recent intro to Camulus and Amaterasu, i'm going to add them into my alternating avatar line :)
Newbie
August 3rd, 2004, 11:48 PM
Um...just today I found out that there were new avatars avilable...so I went and took this guy...I've never seen his SG ep. and I don't even know his character's name....all I know is that he's from Trek!!!
Elwe Singollo
August 4th, 2004, 12:19 AM
Felgar, i think thats his name?
MasterPower
August 4th, 2004, 01:44 PM
I chose this avatar because Major Pierce is cool :cool:
ShadowMaat
August 4th, 2004, 01:57 PM
It's Coombs. He's a bit of a geek in his ep, and a big Stargate buff. I believe one of his lines was, "How can you call yourself a scientist and not worship at the Altar of Roddenberry??" ;)
The Other Guys. Season six. Good stuff, lots of fun. FULL of Trek references.
Elwe Singollo
August 4th, 2004, 03:13 PM

My avatar is Daniel Jackson because he's cool, and I like linguistics, myself. I have a custom avatar with the Earth PoO and "terra" in Ancient, but I can't use it yet.

I couldnt decide. And since Sam is my favourite character, I thought "Why not?" so I picked her.
Anthro Girl
August 6th, 2004, 03:25 PM
I recently changed mine. I thought I wanted Chaka, but when I got him it didn't look right next to "Anthro Girl". The glowy-eyed-bloody-mouth Sam just seems more appropriate for my state of mind. For the real "me", see the image in my profile. :D

I chose the stargate because it was "pretty." I did have a pic of a Ri'Tu, but I was the only one who knew it was there! :D

I've changed it since my last post. It's Thor. How cool is that? <g> Everyone loves the asgard....and if they don't, when I take over the galaxy, they will.

You're always changing it Miguel, it seems like everytime I log on you have a new avatar. It gives me a headache.
Elwe Singollo
August 8th, 2004, 02:57 AM
Have you been not comming on for the past month or so? Becuase i did keep my Camulus avatar on for a while, then bam, changed it to Jonas, then to Amaterasu, then back to Daniel. :)
Erik Pasternak
August 8th, 2004, 03:36 AM
No, I remember that you had your Camulus for a while, but besides that once you got your "promotion" you did a lot of changing (a lot of Daniels).
Elwe Singollo
August 8th, 2004, 04:20 AM
Yah, i didn't know which Daniel avatar was better, and he is 1 out of 2 most favorite favorite characters, so yah.
raggedy11
August 8th, 2004, 04:23 PM
I chose Shayla for three reasons. I didn't see a lot of people using the Avatar and she's pretty. I *wish* I looked like her. *LOL* and mostly because Jack never leaves anyone behind and Jack made Kalan go back to rescue her. I like the idea of Jack coming to rescue me. (very shallow female reasons) ;) Oh and I forgot to mention ... I like her hair cut.

Originally I wanted to go with Simmons but he wasn´t available. I´ve seen Adam Baldwin in other sci-fi/fantasy things and really like his acting and his character in SG-1 was great.
Plus I figured it was not used by many others:)

Second choice? No.

Jolinarsam
August 27th, 2004, 01:43 PM
I picked Nesa because she's sweet, close to my age, and friends with Daniel which is an added bonus. My second choice was Zenna from "The Cure" cause I thought she was an interesting character. But someone else was using her.
FieryHands
August 27th, 2004, 02:03 PM
I picked Sha're because I joined the board pretty much only to find/request a Daniel/Sha're vid I'd been aching to see. That little goal has been met but I haven't felt like taking my leave of you gaters. :p
I suppose if I had been more considerate, I would maybe have been Jonas. I always had a soft spot for him. :)

David, your new avatar is, um...exciting! How did you do that?
I was talking to David recently, he used Photoshop! ;) I'm guessing he changed the background by using filters and using a replace layer tool for the eyes! lol Maybe...:D
On another note, changed mine today to the battle within Full Circle between Daniel and Anubis. I've created about 100 avatars in one week alone ready to be used over a LONG period!

Hi Serenity They are the Custom Avatars...and it is well over a 1000 posts...I am not sure of the exact number because I ddn't keep track but I do know it is quite a bit. There are some other threads in the New Members area that might have an answer to that But I think Darren might want it to be a surprise for people :) although I am not entirely sure :)

I picked junior just because I can't use my usual Avatar which is very similar to Sig's picture. Plus I having one of those snakes would be really cool. :D

I was bored at work so i started drawing on a bit of receipt paper with one of those pens that you use on "fake" notes. (brown = fake, clear/yellow = real) I drew a smiley face that caused me to laugh. Given the banter coefficient last night was way into the negative (There's nothing worse than banter for the sake of it. "So eh.... i was wasted last night!" Morons.), i found it particularly amusing... For some reason.

Captain Obvious
November 17th, 2009, 06:26 PM
Because there are not enough strong female villains in SciFi. The "PC" movement has made writers afraid that they will be seen as demonizing women if they make a good female villain. They all end up getting redeemed or switching sides. Adria was one of the truly good female villains, stunningly beautiful and absolutely scary as hell! She had a trainwreck of a backstory, but it worked. I would kill for another female villain with her potential to both excite and creep out viewers.
