how do you identify users?

[Wyndham]

well, it is weird, but how?

[Zero999]

what do u mean by identifying users? gender? characters?

[_Ted_]

I think he means by first glance.

I identify them mostly by avatars, but judging by the way the Sord Syndrome is spreadin, then I might have to change my ways.

[ABDUR101]

All of the above, depending on the user.

[_Ted_]

Come to think of it, I identify more familiar users by avatar and less familiar users by name.

that IS what i meant, thank you.

[Skett]

All except writing style. For example, there are a few that I recognise by sign. Avatars for some.

Some I just remember, like BlackHawk, Davion, Hikara, Lady Jade, Ian, Kuda, Thorny (er, I mean Gnarled Rose) or Sarunakai. The ones I remember from their names are the ones that made the biggest impact on me at PSOW.

the writing style bit was mostly a joke, but i sometimes do.
...my Break avatar's better than your Break avatar. *runs*

[Skett]

*Chases Oran around* Oh wait. I don't care about my avatar. Besides, my sign is cooler then yours. *Hides under a box*

Writing style a joke, eh? I was going to say, that is a bit odd. Er, never mind.

I think I'll scan my ninja guy drawing and use that for a signature.
just need to learn to use my scanner.

[navci]

I usually do the first glance by avatar.
But with the latest Sord Syndrom (rapid avatar switching!) it is kinda impossible. So now I also need to look at the names.

I can't identify writing styles much so that is out for me. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

edit: Also, I have all sigs disabled. So... that is also out. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[Dangerous55]

All of them. But most people here I don't know and or cant recognize.

[Xero_Silvera]

I usually look at their avatar then the sig then their name. I think im the only active user with this wierdass rag rappy avatar, or that iv seen so far. Plus i know for sure im the only one with this kurama/suiichi pic. Most people dont even know who i am though, i havnt been using psow that long. and im offline currently.. but never by the writing style, thats for sure http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif
-xero

[Cheep]

I usualy have to look at the name and avatar,sometimes the sig. Alot of people have the same avatar like the fomar ones.

[Auronius]

Heheh, I should start using italics and see if I'm more identifiable http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[anwserman]

I don't know, but people got scared when i changed my avatar.


Holy. Fucking. Shit.

To quote a user.

[Ness]

Most people know me for my sig and that's what I use to identify people as well.

[BlackRose]

I use the avatars and sigs, and it's because I can see them in my periphery while I'm reading the posts. I read down the left occasionally to see what witty titles and whatnot people have... but if I'm just reading posts, then the images are what tell me.

There are a few people, though, who I DO know by writing style alone.

[Guile]

Either Av, sig, or name...

[Nai_Calus]

Sig, then name. Avatar never comes into it. Writing style sometimes.

[Kizaragu]

The avatars are usually the last thing to load on my browser, and I tend to have read a majority of the page when they do finally load. (I'm on AOFL)
So Names for me.

[Sharkyland]

Im absolutely clueless when it comes to this type of things.

[Ketchup345]

Avatars, then Sigs, then Name, and rarely writing style (but some people I can tell by the style).

I should switch avatar out of first though (stupid Sord syndrom is spreading)...

Aww Lolli http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif You hurt my feelings...

Well there was a female I know who got banned... when she was asking for codes a while back...

[Kent]

What Abdur said.

Though, some people here think Kent and the color green have something in common... I wonder why?

I have seen it tho! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif
It's funny cuz neither my mother or grandmother has internet and I don't have a boss.

And I don't actually think I have said stuff on the computer. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif The beauty of having a mini HD. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[Link00seven]

I look for avatars and username.

[Firocket1690]

i can probably tell out certain people by writing style and certain obcessions.
Ian ~ Rati
Navi ~ shoes
Shimarisu ~ very unique writing style and a general anger, but mostly toward EpIII

Some people have a sig (like mine) who really stick out. When i scroll down a thread quickly, i look out for my sig and start reading on from there down.

As far as avatars go, i don't really care. anyone who doesn't change their avatar every other month is memorable. i usually glance at the username if i don't recognize the avatar.
