I used to picture them as young kids, between the ages of 13 and 17 mostly. Now I think a large number are adults between 21 and 35.

I imagine BZPower members by their names, avatars, and general style of replies.

Sadly, school and other forums are limiting my activity here.

If I'm not logged in and posting, however, I'll still have BZP open as a tab in Chrome.

I pretty much imagine you as your avatar.

This pretty sums up how I view others. For example a friend had a Nathan Drake avatar, I thought he looked Nathan Drake. However I'm hoping the picture of Spike from Cowboy Bebop I put in my about me section will associate his image with mine.

As people hunched over computer keyboards, cackling maniacally, slapping the refresh button habitually and sweating exclusively through their mouth.

Unless I've met them, and then I just know them as crazy people.

Perfect description of me.

Ka%27tru.pngBehold, Toa Ka'tru! Sprite made by Strack. Click picture to go to his sprite shop.  Avatar by CeeCee.

It was then that everything fit together in my head. The two clawed beast. The Two Claws. The dual-claw marks. That all was easy. Then I realized something harder to grasp -  because the beast was inter-phasal, it could also travel through time, to an extent. The Two Claws wasn’t fiction, it was true. There was someone else like me, in the past. I continued blinking rapidly and turned back to the beast.

“What do you want?” I demanded.

The beast stood up a bit straighter and looked directly at me. A terrifying voice came from it as it answered.

“You and the girl. Both. You are abnormalities and must be dealt with.”

Usually as their avatar or a personification of such.

Even though I am aware that, even though I am a guy, it means people who also think this way will think of me as a catgirl...oh well :P.

How do you imagine other bzp members? I usually imagine them as their avatars, which can be akward for those who change their avatars often.


Living versions of their avatars, or a random human picture. I'm usually proven wrong by seeing their IRL pictures if they show them.

For the record, I look nothing like Michael Rosen.

I always imagine them as people, but their avatars have an effect on how seriously I take them.
For instance, when Ghosthands had the serious-looking David Tennant avatar, I was scared to death of him. XD

I imagine people as normal people who sit completely upright,never hunched, who type decently,and have nice lives,with decent personalities,although their heads similar to their avatars,but face looking. I never picture people badly. :)
EDIT: although, I had a dream where all the members were kids and the moderators and admins were adults...

I always imagine the as their avatar, even if it's just a couple stripes or dots. Other than that, I imagine that they would all make good radio hosts, in that they look nothing like they sound.

I try not to view them all as lazy slobs - not in a mean way, though. I have enough trouble viewing myself as one...

I guess I imagine them as their avatars; I mean it's like a book jacket, practically.

Hmm... Depends... If I've ever seen a picture of them in real life, I imagine them more or less in that way (and I've only seen a select few and I think only the staff really. And that was only recently from Hahli Husky's blog).

I imagine others from their avatars or their attitudes. Generally if I like someone I add a y to the end of their names and think of them as adorable plush chibis. Though there are exceptions to this. Such as Taka Nuvia. Takay or Taka Nuviay just sounds silly so I refer to her as Taka. Also, she's less chibi as I imagine she has demonic, torn to shreds skeleton wings.

The whole adding a y thing came from Bonesiii becuase I just imagine those three i's make an eee sound. It's highly contagious to your impression of other members. XD

If I don't like the member (which is hardly anyone, if anyone) then I just think they're a grumbly grump face. (Self-censorship, Away!). Though I really don't hold grudges. =/

Though if the member tends to ramble on and on with big words that I don't use in my day-to-day vocabulary thingy, then I often imagine them to be writing with a quill pen, occasionally dipping it into some ink and then sending it off to their publishers who then type it out into a post. Oh, and they normally have fancy hats or a powdered wig. Or a fancy hat and a powdered wig.

depends on the avatar. If the avatar is purple, blue or green, (main colors) I imagin them as Dule Hill (Burton Guster) from PSHYCE. If the avatar is any other colors, I imagine them as Jack Sparrow.

Usually, it's based upon the way they post for me. If someone usually posts extremely seriously and nearly never jokes, this person will seem like a bit of a grump to me. :P

If someone seems super happy all the time, and uses the "tongue" emote a lot, they seem like a joker to me. Who likes to be funny/have fun around the place.

Although, I usually try not to "judge a book" by it's cover. Even though sometimes I can't help it (because I'm human... Humans judge other humans whether they like it or not... Not because we're all bad people, it's just because we're human. It's just how we are...) if I get to know a member better, the way I "see" them will most likely change the better I get to know them.

I've never really tried to imagine other people's appearances on BZP as it's hard and maybe a bit on the pointless side. What makes the person for me is their avatar, name and online personality.
