I have kept the same avatar (except for a single two-week period) since I first joined MobileRead. Many people -- self included -- will see the avatar and if it registers in the brain then I just skip the name and go directly to the body of the post. I use (if available) the same name on all forums; but, a unique avatar for each forum. This helps me to keep the posting on track. If the avatar is a moving bar code then this must be MobileRead and we will avoid talking about Federal Acquisition Regulations.
Even when she has changed her avatars, I have always known that they were Daffy. Some people like Alex (founder of MobileRead) and Bob Russell (a MobileRead moderator) have drawings that look like them. I met Bob once and his avatar looks more like him than his driver's license photo looks like him.
