It's a ... thing. Gawd, my brain's gone blank. Um. Plural. That's the one. Plural. Referring to more than one avatar. Therefore it doesn't need an apostrophe.

I've learnt in the past about girls and presents. Top ten to never give her:
10. A Blender - You're telling her to cook for you. A big no-no.
9. Tickets to something the bloke wants to see. Oh God, big no-no.
8. Clothes - This can go either way, if you know her size and style go for it. If you're not absolutely sure of both then stay well away.
7. Gift Cards - You'll be pretty much be showing her that you're the most unimaginative, boring git in the world.
6. Gym Membership - Unless she specifically asked for it, don't give it or you'll surely be sending the wrong message and she'll be sending a painful one to you.
5. A cinema ticket - Don't get one and make her go on her own.
4. Anything that you like - No DVD players, no TVs, nothing like that, instead make her feel special and buy her a toilet seat or something.
3. A Puppy - This can be tempting, she's sure to love it at first, but what about once it done its business and then needs to go for a walk and then barks all night. Unless she's explicitly told you she wants a puppy don't get her one.
2. Anything you see on TV - Even if it is cool, odds are she'll see the same infomercial at some point and immediately think less of the gift. I got Jenny Torchwood - Series 1 but it worked because its in my collection now.
1. Nothing - A sure way to never have to worry about giving her anything again. I go for this one the most.
But doesn't the Avatar "belong" to someone - so it does?

The avatar belongs to someone else, yes. But it's the person that owns an object that gets apostrophe-s, not the object.
Correct:
bigfella's shirt
bigfella's shoes
Incorrect:
bigfellas shirt
bigfellas shoe's
You'd make a great English teacher Aaron.
Time for bed. Night, night
No doubt I'll be back later. So one of you stay on here to keep me company, just in case.
I nominate roscoff.
I will. What time? Have to be before my bedtime (around 6am)/
I'd say in about an hour? After I've watched Brooker's show and decided there is nothing else on and I can't discreetly masturbate.
Ah. Well. Happy masturbating. I'll hang around unlike you.
I'm off too before my eyes go square and the dog decides now would be a great time for a game.

Suddenly my comment becomes less disgusting.
Mine don't. Go on, play with the dog.
