Obviously I’m excluding how when you first join, you have no avatar.

No to both, and I've changed my display name too many times to recall but I'm fairly certain my avatar has gone D-CT > D-NC > I-VA > S-VA. That's not counting "tribute avatars" like R-FL when Sanchez was banned or S-WY for fantasyland stuff.

Hard to imagine I've lived in three states over the 11 years I've been here. And I've used a VA avatar for the majority of that time despite having spent most of my life in Connecticut.

From joining in 2017 to late 2020, I had an R-GA avatar and the display name was ThatConservativeGuy (still my official, uneditable username). I've been I-GA since then, and had the display name of ThatPoliticallyIncoherentGuy for a while, which I shortened to TPIG.

No. I started out with a blue avatar but was invited to join Team Troll about 6 months ago.

Username yep; although I've considered a few different ones. Just can't bring myself to do it.

Changed to a Maroon-TX from a Red-TX sometime in 2021 in reaction to Sinema & Manchin partly; and also the moronic behavior of Democrats. I was growing more Progressive from a Stand Liberal since the 2016 Primaries though.

Was a Red-OR when I first signed up.

Yup yup, all except for April Fool's Day when I change to D-TX and I changed to an R-PA during this cycle's primaries in PA.

Display name: Obviously yes

Avatar: Yes, when Russia invaded Ukraine, I changed my avatar to that of Ukraine. Other than that, my avatar has stayed pretty much the same as the iconic S-OT with exceptions made for holidays.

I began as D-CA because once upon time that was where I fit.

But as I have traveled much, so have I changed my state to fit.

I have also had many names, though most with one constant, LDS...though even that is on its way out. Perhaps just Mr. Smith will suffice now.

But as I grow weary and old and tired, as life moves on, I think my twilight years at this place remain limey, probably mostly I-TX with loopholes for vacations.

Might this reflect IRL developments?

I generally keep my avatar as D-PE, but I’ve changed it occasionally (I usually change it to orange when there’s a Canadian election, to support the NDP). My display name changes with the winds. I do occasionally go back to just plain Fubart Solman though.

Joined in late 2008 and have had the same display name the whole time (despite the recent temptation to change it to GeorgiaModerator).  Changed avatar once, from the original I-GA to D-GA in late 2018.

I've changed both my display name and my avatar a couple of times (only briefly in the second case). I went from Timberwolf to Mexican Wolf permanently back in 2021, and I briefly changed my display name and avatar to New Mexican Wolf and D-NM when I was in New Mexico last November (because I like goofy plays on words).

I’ve changed my display name quite a few times, and I changed the avatar for specific occasions (RPing as a Ben Shapiro fan on April fools, Ukraine avatar in March, or moving back and forth from SC to AL for college stuff)

I've never changed my username and I find the practice of doing it here annoying.  I changed the color of the state to light green to support Iranian protesters and left it that way for a few years.  I have changed the state when on vacation a few times, but generally I don't and haven't for years.

The only time I changed my avatar was for an April Fool's joke where I made it R-FL.

Used to change my display name fairly often, but haven't for a couple years at least. I've always been D-DC - I'm going to college in VA this fall but D-VA is such a meme avatar there's a decent chance I keep the current one.

I switched from UK to Scotland after HCP made it up as part of the avatar expansion project a few years ago. 

I’m not a full time resident there anymore, but it’s one of the best designed avatars so I’m loathe to part with it. If Scotland does end up in another referendum,, I’ll probably switch to the UK avatar in protest, but otherwise, I’m sticking with it.

There’s a decent chance I won’t be an independent by the end of the year, so may need to change the colour though…
