I think that if the avatar fits the character of the person behind it then it makes no difference whether it is animated or not.
However I LOVE to see those pages where there are many back and forth comments between users and the avatars are moving too - it's such fun!
Hey yours certainly fits your character now!

I have to admit that avatars to not call my attention at all... But I will look at it and find them, cute, odd, entertaining and interacting.
I so like your new look... chain gang..as mysd calls it.. barge away.

He missed that one!
I wonder if he would have time to read it now, if he was here of course, but he seems to have vanished again

diamania can be here and gone in a flash. , It has always been my thinking you comment back and you continue to move the discussion up a notch in the tabs, where as many can quite easily see and be more likely to reply. Not doing so sinks in lower in the buckets and not easily be found.

Avatars do not help you to get more responses rather a discussion with two responses with lots of back and forth comments can pave way for more responses

So be it....
I'll blink till someone starts moving back and forth
BTW I think barging is comfortable in known territories... Some people are ubiquitous here, each thing mylot is there own :) But I'm just a humble nothing How could I charge those masters???

In fact sunny insists we barge as he barges all the time...
One thing mysd I have noticed some members barging in somewhere I applied a comment and the initial posters get pee you'd. I love it. Naturally these are the members who are not using myLot to it's full potential.
One particular instance it became a whole ska doodle and the initial poster was so rude. Why do members feel they own the comments, comment boxes and that it should not be done. I do not get that.
What the member did not get is that it then resulted in members no longer responding to any of their started discussion.

As you had made some experiment here on this matter so result will bi known more better to you .....
So after some days you yourself get the result.
But personally I never believe that there is any chance of getting more responses just for animated AVATAR.
I think people respond here to discussion. So attractiveness and quality of discussion is more considerable than any other thing.

Well the animated avatars easily catch the eyes.But what really matters is the content of the discussion.And of curse this is an interesting discussion which has a great scope of responding in so many angles.
Strangely I feel sorry fr the animated cats and dogs who relentlessly get tortured by being animated without being able to get even a wink of sleep.
And I want to tell you that I like your animated avatar.

T-T-T-thank Y--y-you
Yeah terrible isn't it. We are online animal abusers!
Indeed as you say content is most important, someone's reputation also plays a role, a catchy animated avatar only has a very slight effect, if any, probably. :D
Your avatar is, seemingly, a mystery. :P

You're one of the best known mylotters, I think that helps you a lot. People know you so they'll check out your profile and know that when you're in a discussion the discussion must be good.
I hope destiny allows you to stay on mylot for a long long long time still. :)

Hello, i don't know if you will have more responses, because it's up on the topic and the point of the discussion, but i can say with 100% sure that i love animated avatars, this is how i remember Mys D from long ago, since i was new member here. That's what helped me to remember here easy.

Good thing you love animated avatars. Does that mean you'll be checking out my discussions more often? I'll offer you hot choco and cookies! :P
---Yeah you do that diana. That way I suddenly get 200 responses saying: "Hey did you change account? Why?" and "Huh you're a man now and so young? What did you do diana...?!"
Diana, diamania, it's close... very close... Confusing is around the corner...
Muahahahah

Well, i don't agree with you. Your avatar can not get you responses. Atleast i dont respond to discussions depending on the avatars neither i see the names i just look at the subject of the discussion and if it interests me then i will respond otherwise i wont. And to get more responses you should create discussions with interesting subject. Happy mylotting. Regards, harry.

... and comment back to those who respond, furthering the topic and giving them cause to respond back to you (and earn even more).

These animated avatars are very catchy to mylotters. They tend to respond to the discussion with the animated avatar of the maker. Like now, you're discussions earned many responders. I think you should make very interesting and informative discussions to attract users to respond to your discussions.

It clearly gets good responses. I am pretty new here and would love all the advice that can be shared. Could you tell me how to get an avatar similar to yours on a mobile device?

Thank you so much. I will check it out for sure because yours is pretty cool, and I have nothing. Still not sure if I can get it w/o using my laptop. Hopefully it can be done from my "mobile device".

For me the avatar does not really make a difference. Actually your avatar is distracting. I answered from my inbox and did not see it before. If I want lots of responses I try to post things that lots of people can relate to. Things that are common for others or that they care about. I hpe you get the results you want from your avatar.

I don't think animated avatars can attract responses. Animated avatars may drag my attention and I look at it for sometime, but I will respond only if I like the discussion and I have something serious to talk about it. I hate to respond just for the sake of responding and making money. I am trying to have fun by responding to discussions and reading others responses.

Animated avatars are attractive and will get a sudden catch. But it is not necessary that they should respond to the queries. If the topic also such an attractive one, I am sure that they will get a full response.
Just like animated avatars, the real photos are also attractive. The real photos are always sensible and I have notice that many are still here with the same avatar, who never changed or modified since the very fist day of uploading.
Thank-s

I think an avatar has very little or nothing to do with how many responses you receive. Someone may comment on your avatar, but,that's only after they found your discussion interesting and responded to the topic.Getting many responses will "always" depend on the topic of your discussion and the interest one has in responding to it. Plus, why would anyone take the time to respond to your discussion solely to comment on an avatar? it wouldn't be worth it.
