I always scratch my head at people tagging content "zoo" on a site called ZooChat :rolleyes: :P
 
Reading all that was like reading some weird Academy Award report.
 
But now nobody will ever know why it had so many likes. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

Yeah, I should probably remove that one from the list because the content is no longer visible (image was hosted on a 3rd party site and is no longer available)

Hooray for Wally!

I also love the randomness of the 'most-viewed' media items. Presumably some of these are linked to from elsewhere on the web, driving traffic in. No idea how that macaw aviary at Leopoldshafen would get that many views otherwise..!
 
D14. Users who change their avatar the most

Note that this statistic isn't very accurate - it tracks every change made to an avatar, so if you upload an avatar and then modify it in any way, it shows up here.

So it's not necessarily accurare to say that a user has uploaded this many different avatars - it could just be that they edited their existing avatar quite a few times before they were happy with it.

@Hipporex Did you change your avatar back to your original one shortly after this was posted?
 
I've got to keep my record going... :p
Considering you have 30 more changes than the second-place holder (ThomasNotTom) I think you're in no danger of losing it. But as long as you're changing it can I request the hippo-headed dinosaur again? That made me laugh every time I saw it.

1) There you go :)
2) I feel a tad embarrassed to hold this record. I believe that about half of these "new" avatars were simply me being OCD and trying to more center an already established avatar, as this is something I know I've done quite a bit.

Thank you! :p

As someone who hasn't changed their profile picture in the 6.5 years I've been here, I just find it hilarious. Funny how one weird way the data is calculated led you to be first in this category by roughly twice the next person :p one has to wonder if @ThomasNotTom is the one who realistically deserves the title.

Yeah if we factored out the times I've adjusted already established avatars, as well as the times I returned to older avatars, I do believe TNT would have the title or at least the number difference margin would be much, much smaller.

It could be worse. You could be taking photos of yourself in the bathroom to use as your avatar...

All the numbers in that list are two years out I think.

Yes, probably copied and pasted from the above post in the 16th anniversary thread.
