Yeah, that's what I am questioning. They definitely said they didn't change it, that it was assigned. I'm not doubting them, I am wondering if Daz has changed the avatars. 

Not sure but I just did an image search for these 3 attached avatars in Google image search and I'm pretty confident that avatar image wasn't assigned by DAZ forum SW from its defaults.

Also it seems the plex.tv forums use the same forum SW as DAZ 3D.

Google Images Search 'Visually Similar Images for the 'mad face'

Notice the the OP's avatar isn't in the list of forum avatars and also that is an alpha channel background and the circle is bigger than the others. That is not likely that those forum designers that created those avatars would change the size suddenly for just that one avatar.

 

Conspiracy theories! This thread rules.

LOL, yes. This is an original mystery.

Normally, when I spend any amount of time on a forum, my thoughts go pretty quickly to coming up with an appropriate avatar for that forum (usually from some game, movie, or other media source), and indeed have a number of different avatars scattered across the internet.

Here though, ever since my first post, yeah every time I see that big red smilie face with the black eyes that the Daz forum software assigned to me, I simply smile and am happy with it.  Yeah it's pretty understated, but it seems to express my happiness to be here, my willingness to help others when I can, and my desire to learn new things.

I do like other people's 'custom' avatars, and admire their choices, but I just don't feel the need for a more fancy one here, as the one I have now does the job just fine!!!

Does anyone else here have this sort of relationship with their 'default' Daz forum avatar?

 

Yup yup which is why I've kept mine !!

I suspect at the time of the thread's creation he/she had their original one

maybe since they updated it or then again maybe it was meant as trick and they had a mediocre one.

I have a similar reaction to my forum avatar every time I miss a store sale or glitch.

Many of us can relate!

I love the red head and the big haired girl above her! :D 

Those are just some samples i put together. It's all mix and match... :)

At the very least, it made me feel better about putting some impulse buys to use... :D

I thought these Avatars were a Daz only thing, but my old one showed up on an entirely unrelated site.

I just took a second look- why is the OPs circle so much bigger than the others? Or is it just an optical illusion?

Because that is an avatar the OP made not an assigned one. I thought something looked off about it. Also notice the background color for the OP's avatar is the alpha channel.

At some point a couple of months ago, the randomly assigned avatar I used to have changed to a different avatar, so I (re)created the one you currently see as my avatar from memory using photoshop and uploaded it instead.  I didn't want it to change again, so I uploaded the one you see now.  I'd highly recommend that if you like your avatar, that you make a copy just in case...

you liked it too much so they took it away because nobody should be that happy

Ah, that makes sense. You did a good job and you helped me find a site with the entire collection of them in the process.
