Pretty much. The only person who cares about your own themes are yourself most of the time. It's not like you're making them for others. If you aren't pleasing yourself, well :something
Looks like our unfortunate colleague can't get no satisfaction. 'Cause he tries, and he tries, and he tries, and he tries. He can't get no, he can't get no. When he's on the interwebs, and those guys come in the DCC, and they're telling him more and more about some useless information supposed to fire his imagination. He can't get no, oh no, no, no. Hey, hey, hey.

I used a randomizer once, but it for a bunch of banners I had. I never tried it with avatars.
It has to be set in the admin CP for avatars anyway. :P

You must have hated my randomized avatar then...

But seriously, I get a bit annoyed when someone changes their theme all the time since themes are usually how I discern people before I learn usernames. :P But it's not too big a deal, I've just adapted to identifying typing styles and paying more attention to usernames. u_u;
I know people who change their theme everytime they come on a forum I go on. Which in this case: everyday. So, it's annoying. And telling them to stop won't work. :/
Well, that's what makes ever user on a forum different.

I think the randomized avatar thing would be a fun option for users, but...I'm sure that won't happen ever. O:

Good thing I never tried it here then. The most time I've had with a theme was about 1 1/2 months. And that was this on another forum. I would like to use every theme I create or someone creates for me for at least one month minimum.

The longest time I've kept a theme is probably four months. Profile styling: a year and still standing.

I don't think I could keep a avy/sig theme for longer than a month. Theme profiling however requires much more :effort for something barely anybody will notice, so I change it much less often.

At least no one has said this yet:
I change my avatar theme everyday.
That would freak me out.

Well, for me...I just make/find a new avatar and say: "This'll be my next theme." And move on.

I find a lot of images I like, but it's usually the same story; the quality of the image is very poor, and I'm forced to find another image to use.

But, once I do find a good, high-quality image I like and put it on a good background, with a good avatar to match, I feel fulfilled somewhat.

Oh, that's convenient. I was prepared to do an off-topic post showcasing the pictures in my signature. But now I can do it with impunity from the law.

Those look really good! Did you just get them as pictures, or did you have to do something to tweak them a bit?

I change mine about once a month or so. I mean, my current one is still nice so I'll probably just change it when I find something better.

I normally go through signatures every few weeks or so, but I'm keeping Braviary for awhile. :)
Probably cause Braviary is BOSS! As far as how many times I just my Icon I do it at least once or twice a month. I could careless about themes.

It would be kind of impressive if someone could do that and keep some kind of pattern or story going with it.

^I could do that, but I won't.
I did it for a while back last year. It was alright, but no one noticed, so I just stopped.

Someone definitely broke the theme on this page.
I'm disappointed that no one posted in the thread I made :(

I change my theme somewhat often. Sometimes really quickly, sometimes over a couple of weeks or so. Although this might be a stretch, I want to keep the theme I have right now for at least until the end of the year. Don't ask me why. xD;

For me, it's all about personal value. If I love a theme enough, it'll probably last to about a month, tops, like my current theme. I do like themes which can last a long time though, although I'm no good at it.
