Let's be honest here. The current default newbie av is.... unfortunate. I know I'm not alone in worrying that it might give newcomers the wrong impression if they don't know that it's just a joke default av. I've already known several posters to mistakenly think it was genuine, and I've heard a secondhand story about a lurker / SA newcomer being scared off thinking that SA was super into... that guy. ITT please brainstorm, discuss, and create/propose new default newbie av. I can't guarantee it'll get used but it's more likely to if I can offer an alternative! Some thoughts: It should be slightly diminuitive - it can't be too nice! Channel your inner a little. Like we want it to encourage people to buy a new av. But it doesn't have to be horribly mean or ugly either. Who knows maybe we can strike the perfect balance between nice to look at, and still bad enough that people want to buy an av It probably should not be animated or minimally animated

To be more clear: higher ups seem receptive to a new newbie av, I'm not the only one who doesn't love the current one. But nobody's going to change it until they have an easy replacement. i can't guarantee that i can get it changed at all, let alone to what we come up with, but it's worth a shot

wow some good options here rather than suggesting something I think we should go with one of these I esp like deformed baby and aye aye maybe we could do a poll with popular options appropriately cropped/sized?

maybe it could be a photo of someone nice like Ray Romano, whom everybody loves. but then that guy, the one from the current pic, could be lurking in the background, maybe giving Ray the bunny ears. so he's not front a centre but still there and gives you the creeps a bit so you go buy a new av.

I like this concept, but lol at Ray Romano's universal appeal.

I would say go back to the old classic baby, or even the garbage dick or toilet lord or whatever, pretty much anything is better for the site then that orange guy, even though I get the concept of having something bad to convince people to get something else. There is a difference between "silly and playfully shameful" and "people would not like to join the forums because this just looks bad out of context".spectres of autism posted:if we give everyone anime avs they wont be able to change them fast enough I think this is hilarious but I bet a bunch of people would just like it and I don't know what to say about that!
