#342Hah! I got a really cool little icon that looks almost like the cassette tape pirate logo of Piratbyrån back in the day. I have old t-shirts with that logo. MAKE. THIS. PERMANENT! On the functional side, this really helps you see who is who in a long threaded discussion. Your eye is much quicker at following the little color icons than their names.
Trying mine.

#348Cute, but I don't think it really adds much to the site. The content of the comment is much more important to me than whoever posted it. In a way, even the usernames are superflous.

I agree with this sentiment. I mostly did this for fun, however I will point out that occasionally people get mixed up about who they are responding to with regard to which comments in a thread came from which author, and a random avatar can help to prevent those mistakes.
