What exacly do you mean by an avatar?
do you mean like a MUDD/RolePlaying type? or just the cute Icons that everyone uses?
If your Board then why not check out Neopets, it also has a lot of activity all day and night.
one thing that always bothers me is that many people do not relize what the different protocals and things on the internet are for.
It bothers me since these technologies have been out for over 20 years.
For instance, if you want to talk becasue your board, then use a chat client. IRC instant messenger, ect....
IF you want to have a conversation about a topic and you want many people to view your opinion then a Forum is a good tool to do this.
I still get very confused when I log into Neopets and everyone is using the Boards as though they are a chatroom. and as a result there is no good way to search the forum.
