What is an avatar?
I am guessing this is different from the modified natives in the movie Avatar.

Haha yeah, it's essentially just your profile picture.

It's the image under your username. Equivalent to profile picture in modern social media.

Edit: didn't notice that Gerrick already responded

for those disappointed that pie didn't join the tie - just pretend it was 'Ajit Pie' all along

I think I may have successfully incorporated all the winning themes, though I was only 3 in 2003 so I can't be sure.

@Kane lives! FYI your avatar image is broken because this forum doesn't accept https links form them for some reason. Change it to an http link (with your current avatar image you can just remove the "s" from the url) and it should work.

Goddamn that makes me feel old. But then again, I was only 11 in 2003, so I also was too young to know what 2003 avatars are.

Same here. 6. Anyone older have any tips?

That makes you feel old?!?!
I was only 4 (or 3 depending on the month).
People my age exaggerate the age of other people so much.  It is not funny.

Ack, messed up my clarity. I was agreeing with the "I don't know what 2003 avatars were" part, not the "I feel old" part.

relevant xkcd's

A few choice ones:

November 2016

Title text: Once you've done this, make a note of how old they were. Then, when their age reaches double that, show them this chart again.

Scary

Title text: I'm teaching every 8-year-old relative to say this, and every 14-year-old to do the same thing with Toy Story. Also, Pokemon hit the US over a decade ago and kids born after Aladdin came out will turn 18 next year.
 [Note that this comic came out in 2009.]

March of the Penguins

Title text: You ARE getting older, though.

Hm. In less then a month, people born in the 2000s will be becoming legal adults.

Yep!

For me that's another seven months.

Just means a new generation of people that can apply for the adult area.

Here's some stuff about 2003: http://pop-culture.us/Annual/2003.html

I know what happened in 2003, both in history/news and pop culture, but that doesn't tell me anything about what people used as their forum avatars, though.

Things that were popular back then, much like how today people use avatars of things that are popular now.

I mean, basically none of my avatars are relevant to current events/pop culture (except for maybe a few themed ones here, but even then it's rare). Nor are many of the avatars I see here on Wintreath.
