Well i know that an avatar and a signature is important and it reflects the emotion people think about when they see what you post, and by having a non-serious avatar and posting something serious, people may not take what you say seriously . I also think that it affects what people think you may look like, such as i imagine Scwigglie as a colorful fairy, wer as that little guy that was in his avatar a while ago, O'nus as being that brain (back when he had it) and kaniaz as being that sneaky smiley (when he had that, too). I need an avatar that is serious yet not too conservative, fun yet not too immature, and will affect what people think of me. Post comments/suggestions about what i should change my avatar to (that will last a long time).
