Why is Neth a candle?

Do you guys have some meaning behind those specific Avatars. Are some of you better friends with the graphics peoples?

I know if I had to choose an Avatar I would put something meaner or scarier.

Do you guys plan on upgrading or changing your Avatars anytime soon?

Maybe you can make it a contest for the forum graphics nerds around here to make you a better/different one. As a reward, you can let them have their own special designed Forum Avatar as well!

You mean she didn't choose it because she's closet B5 fan? Ahhhh ... shoot. :-/


Who needs to be a closet B5 fan? Loved the show. :)

It's always interesting to see what candles symbolize to others.

“Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.”

“She would rather light candles than curse the darkness and her glow has warmed the world.”

“We are no more than candles burning in the wind”

“If you have knowledge, let others light their candles with it.”

And yes, candles cast shadows as well that can set fire to an imagination.

“If you're not lighting any candles, don't complain about the dark”

And yet there are shadows cast as well and a darkness associated with them. They are both light and dark depending on how you look at it. ;)
