Can we please have animated avatars?

Bad idea BAD IDEA! :run:.

That just screams out Elitism.
How in the world does it have anything to do with elitism? It is all about members being creative with animation. Or do you think that voting for things is elitist? Or that members being recognized for doing something well is elitist?

Isn't their an option to turn off avatars? Wouldn't it be simple if you didn't like them to just turn off animated avatars. That wouldn't be too hard to add to the forums:)

Except that some people like avatars, just not animated ones. As it has been said already inside of this thread. Avatars serve the purpose of quickly identifying the poster. Animated avatars are just a distraction though.
 
How about a option that lets u view or not view animated Avatars?
(Basically like a button that gives u a choice to block all animated Avatars or not) so whoever wants animated avatars could have em and people who dont could not view em :D

That would ruin the purpose of having avatars period. If you can't see them, then you can't use them to easily identify someone.

That would mean blocking non-animated avatars that has a *.gif file type!
 
Elitism isn't a bad thing until it breeds Perfection/Fifty Worship. Then we have a problem on our hands...
With any sort of elitism that will invariably happen because you can't have elitism without the elite. :smug:
 
How is the rule on no animated avatars enforced? Is there blocked by some technological means, or is it a rule that people have to follow, and enforced by mods?
 
You can't upload animated gifs as avatars in your CP, the server won't allow you
Actualy, you can upload *.gif, *.png, & *.jpg files so long as they dont exceed the maximum size limit
