Can we please have animated avatars?

Only if you jack up the image filesize to ludicris levels so I can have a slideshow of all my avvies.

 

[Heretic_Cata]

I've seen some decent animated avatars, but most are annoying.
So - nay.

[SuperBeaverInc.]

Animated avatars are much too annoying.

They are very annoying...

 

[Bozo Erectus]

Slightly bigger avatars would be alot more useful than animated ones.

 

[Stormrage]

They are very annoying.

And I agree with Bozo_Erectus!

Also, you should be more strict with sig size of Civ4 posters, they are very annoying when they barge in the Civ3 C&C

... except a very few with almost invisible animations. If very small animations was to be allowed, how determine if one avatar was too animated? It would be a grey area and difficult for the staff to manage.

So I vote nay.

That would actually be pretty cool!

How about we allow them if they pass the "animated avatar evaluation board" composed of idiots like me.

 

[Vind2]

Man those things are annoying.
Might take up too much sapce for people with older machines.

 

[Tank_Guy#3]

Rather irritating, plus they'd probably take up an inhuman amount of bandwidth.

@Vind2: Slower connections, not older machines. If I get a better computer I won't load pages faster unless I change my connection.

To those who want animated avatars, Why?

 

[Irish Caesar]

They look awful. We should take animated smilies out of sigs, ideally, but if that can't be done, at least no animated avatars!

If you see a poster with a too large sig, report the post and we'll take care of it.

It'd be worth it!

So I can have an avatar slideshow!

I would think that would be well over the size limit. Although I supose you could write a program that would call upon each avatar individually keeping it under the size limit, although I doubt Vb could support that.
