Yup, it tends to be easier that way. On a tangent, why is it that people who are named "Dominic" always use that as their alias whilst online? It makes me feel like the black sheep T_T

I stop using my name online just after I made this account it's too late to change it so I guess I use this name and Drain Deimo
It depends if they stand out from the crowd or not. Sometimes it could be avatars, or sigs, or username, or a mix of all. If you're on my friend list, then chances are I know you by username.
[QUOTE="the_foreign_guy"]I recognize people on the forum by their smell. Though, anime avatars tend to stick out to me. bangell99
Is it me, or are there at least a dozen users on this forum with K-ON themed avas/sigs?
All this anime looks the same to me. :P
Well I've seen a lot of anime, and I've got about 60 gigs worth of fansubbed series sitting on my harddrive, so I can usually figure out what anime someone's sig/ava is from.
I use sigs more so than avatars but I recognize avatars as well. Of course, when I get to know the user I recognize the user name.

Oooga booga! You'll never figure me out, with this signature I dug out of the old pile.But your avatar and name are the same. I can't change my Avatar. I've had it forever. Plus it was the first successful animated Avatar I had. Also, I'll always love The Cure, because of the arguments your signature(s) have spawned.

I miss those arguments.:(
How've you been? It's been like forever...
Just go into a music thread and lump the following bands in the "suck" pile: Disturbed, Greenday and the kicker Metallica and/or Radiohead. People will jump on your case instantly for the comment and rebuke with insults towards The Cure. Also, I post on and off. Mostly in OT, though. I really don't venture much further, because my interests are very distant from most of the userboards. The few that are similar are either dead or full of incompetent idiots.
Usually avatars and names. I change my sig fairly often because I can't stand to look at anything too long, and I haven't found a really good one to use yet. My avatar, on the other hand, has been the same since I started using the account, other than when GameSpot made the avatar pictures larger. My dataDyne emblem would no longer sit pretty in the frame... So, generally avatars spark my memory and the name or prose style confirms.

It depends, for the most part I recognize people from sigs and avis, but if I get in enough discussions with someone, I can recognize them by username:P

The bands that inspire and influence other artists are usually the good ones.

Lucky for me, I hate all of those bands anyway, so I can make a thorough argument. On another topic, I need sleep very soon, I think. I've been up too long.

Disagreed. The fact that a band can make such a generic, yet "edgy" sound, so sweepingly generic it can influence bands and fans of all types and genres without hitting any specific subject matter or idea does not make them "great." Indeed, I believe most (if not all) of the typically *major* influences in mainstream music (e.g. Metallica, Tool, Megadeath, Antrax, Slayer) are boring and sub-par versions of their later-waved counterpart sub-genres. Even among sub-genres most first wave bands blow, and you have to sift through until the second to get anything good -- For example: Punk was a very low-quality and very narrow minded group of bands which spawned Hardcore Punk. Hardcore punk took on many more political and social issues, while maintaining a rough exterior and primal aggression.

I already tried to spell incompetent "concompotent." Thanks Firefox!

Because they're good at making a very refined type of music. Being able to appeal to mommy and children as well as angsty teenagers isn't to Metallica's credit. If you can make yourself so neutral that everyone can take a piece without the slightest after-taste, you're nothing but vanilla.
