While reading through the forum, I notice a lot of *headless ducks*. I am just wondering why some people pick certain *icons* to go with their names. Some are obvious, but others are not. We all know I am the *Fire* freak and being Canadian I thought the *Ice* background was "cool" Any comments? And Yes I know The *headless duck* is the default icon.

I picked the dead-dink cos nobody else had it. A few people have had it since, but not much. Therefore, everybody knows its me straight away!

And it looks cool!

I picked the farmer because I ranch, and I picked the garden because I'm interested in rosebreeding (I'm trying to get a blue and green rose 0_o!)

Simple. Me = dragon freak, and also not a terribly creative person, hence the grass.

I chose the wiz, cause my only try on a dmod was about wizards, and I just happened to like the green weird color thingie in the background.

I picked King Daniel because we share the same name, and because I'm the webmaster

The background is always one of the SOB Red Tiles, to indicate the 'red' part of redink1.

Which one? I've changed my icon at least 4 times. Don't really identify with any of them, but I think I'll keep this one. Wish I could change my user name...

My screenname was first inspired by the Death Kinghts in Warcraft 2 back in 1995. Ah the good ol days. So I picked death in Dink b/c it had that grim reaperly look and the death knight look from warcraft 2 well sort of, but it fits the theme. As for the Lord part I upgraded from knight to lord b/c they had more power and control, I guess. As for the red background I think of it as red pool of blood. Actually the reason why I pick the color red is b/c I usually type in red, I guess. I noticed I'm one of the fewest dinkers who picks death as their icon.

I think Blue Roses and Fairys go together, that's why I picked mine.

Well, I took the fish because that's the best one to pick if you look at my real name. (No, I'm not Simeon Fish, you brainless people), but let's just say the Dutch people should be able to find a last name. And it's on grass because it would be a boring icon if I took water

Simply because it looks cool. It's not related to my name or something.

Daniel, there are clowns. 
Mine is custom, I sent it in to redink1 at a time when he was accepting custom icons (I think).

My avatar is an artist's rendering of Hattori Hanzo Masashige, a legendary Japanese Ninja, who was, in fact, a real person. I also picked it because he looks like such a badass.

Doh. Make that e-mail name.

You know, it's kind of odd, when I signed up, it seemed like more people were using real names, so I opted for Paul instead of ManaUser, now most people have handles. Oh well.
