I like unenlightened’s but I can’t decide if it’s a horse or a stormtrooper.

If not mine, then Banno's thumbnail.

All of them are fine except for TheMadFool's and Sir2u's.

you can't vote for your own

Harsh (but... true?)

I'll vote for 180s since he can't vote for it. It is sad for a thumbnail not to get even the house vote.

Okay, 180's gets my vote too, partly because if I'm not mistaken he's been using it unwaveringly since I first encountered him on the olden forum way back in the olden days.

My particular favorites in no particular order:

@James Riley
@Cartesian trigger-puppets
@StreetlightX
@Baden
@Wayfarer
@_db
@Gitonga
@NOS4A2

Yay! It's a Cy Twombly painting, Petals of Fire.

that's a long list. Didn't think to include mine?

I'm attributing my thumbnail's nonelection to penis envy. A sperm whale penis in its entirety is 13 feet in length, and weighs nearly 800 pounds.

My avatar is the dreaded jackalope. Busy being dreaded.

No longer. I like to change things up, and do little else every few hours for no reason.

Jamalrob, I have been intrigued by the little face in the upper left corner of your thumbnail. It is borne also on the thumbnail of the quicklinks to the site. Is that your portrait, or that of the Young Kierkegaard? All other famous philosophers were born old, he is the only one I know of who had had a youth.

That's Hypatia, Greek neoplatonist philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician. It shows up on all the staff members' thumbnails.

Thanks for the quick answer.

Your thumbnail is very distinct. The cross looking, or perplexed, philosophical child.

Cool. I always thought it resembled wounds or blood. Reminds me of something else, but I can’t ever figure out what.

Nah. I did like your previous one though, the face in the weather map.

An adult sperm whale can hold its breath for an hour and a half, FYI. Pretty impressive, you must admint.

Bingo!

whale thumbnails ain't gonna catch on - just telling you now.

Sperm whales are great, so don't get me wrong, but an hour and a half isn't all that impressive to me. I mean, they're sea creatures. It's been 50 million years since they, in a fit of madness, decided to return to the sea. That's plenty of time to practice. An hour and a half over 50 million years? Could do better.

Have I mentioned that sperm whales have been on the endangered species list for fifty years?

A little show of appreciation and support would demonstrate exemplary character.

Mad are they, who’s gonna look crazy once global warming covers the earth in water.

Perhaps, but what’s the rush.

@Noble Dust

har har

sorry

I award best thumbnail to @Wosret because it constantly changes, despite their never posting.

The thumbnails with qualia are all good, the ones that have those je ne sais quoi properties that blind folk can't see.

pls be more specific

Without making any judgement of quality or value, I think my icon represents my personality and philosophy better than any other on the forum represents its owner's.
