Yeah, like a tribute, since the squishy who originally had that avatar left.
This sometimes happens for various reasons. Not really anymore, other than now but it did in the past.
Like the famous YARNPOCALYPSE a few years back when on Easter’s eve, some of us all took YARNLADY’s avatar. Although we totally spammed the whole site all night long with silly questions, and Auggie probably wanted to kill us, it was all in good fun. It happened to other squishies, as little jokes and whatnot, never anything mean. It’s always in positive light of the member who’s avatar gets taken. I’ve never seen it happen for a member who left, but there you go, that’s the reason; a type of tribute/support to her.
I didn’t do it, but it still sucks that she left.
