Why so many forum member reuse the same profile pictures? There are billions of choices, yet everyone wants to be the same pixelated lion.

Some examples:
fP51r6S
xSUw03Y
HU0Tac7


This is not targeted at any specific member, I'm just genuinely curious.
 
Yeah, I also wonder why so many members use the same photo. Sometimes I even confuse them as the same person. LOL
 
Because it's one of the default pics, people are lazy. There's nothing more to it. :D
You are saying they are not in some kind of secret underground society?
 
  • Haha
Reactions: V
ive gotten confused a few times too with different users rocking the same pfp.
people are just lazy/don't care. avatars meaningless to a lot of people.
 
As already mentioned, BHW is like MLK in this matter

In our community, we don't judge people by their profile picture, but by the content of their (Legendary) character
For example, you don't need to look at the PFP of WillyFish to know it's him. Just look at the title and you know you're in for a treat

Another example of a legendary mod is BassTrackerBoats. Sure you will see different trackers when you're hyperfocused but when you read the reply you just know.

Here it goes like this; Content -> Username -> Profile Pic

Sure, profile pics are great for brand recognition but out here the content is the branding

Well, I'll be damned. No wonder these are so popular I think I'll slap one of these myself one day and (hopefully) I'll be a vet on BHW

Found it kinda funny I think maybe the lion is a meme by now and one hell of an encouragement I respect it for sure.

Maybe you'll find better answers from people with actual 'generic' BHW profile pics

Look at mine for example; Had to commit so i slapped this childish but fun emoji
Yours confuses me. OpenSauce but the bottle is clearly sealed. Thing is, I'm sure there's a meaning behind it, and so does everyone else I guess

Sometimes you'll see colored replies like this from different marketplace sellers and brands
Totally optional though.

My point is, out here, we're all different. And some show their character by not putting effort into changing their PFP. Maybe it's a BHW success manifestation of some type I'm unaware of.
Once you get used to seeing people interacting out here, the 'duplicate' PFP confusion fades away. Way better than some FB type thing IMO


One thing i just noticed, this forum brings the deepest thoughts out of your mind. I've never ever thought i'd be so invested in giving my opinion on such a topic. Spend more time in the lounge man
i think doing the same more often
 
Lazy or do not want to leave any traces, understandable.

I only change avatar 2 times in 10 years, to be honest, I love my first one, but the forum do not support Gif avatar anymore, so.
