Allow animated avatars...

[Eco-Logic]

Why not?  Just curious.  

I think it would be sweet.  I agree with not allowing pictures in sigs and all that, but animated avatars are harmless!

[TheMissingLink]

I agree; look at the Gaming-Age Forums.  I love the gifs on there!

Here are a few reasons why "harmless" might not be the best description:











All of which I might want to use at one time or another.

[-Lord Ebonstone-]

no

[th'FOOL]

Bleh.  Put me on the 'no' side.

[depward]

But come on!  Isn't that just lovable?  

Doesn't really matter to me though.  I'm perfectly content with non-gifs.

[Laner]

pleeeeeease?

I'm dying to use this somewhere

[Semaj]

[CrayolaSmoker]

pleeeeeease?

I'm dying to use this somewhere

"Oh NO you di'in't!"

[CeeKay]

I'd use this one:

[Interloper]

Oh this would be great.  I love animated gifs!  Yes vote from me.

[wonderpug]

"Oh NO you di'in't!"

Oh man, someone please post the one of him eating a watermelon, please!

[stiffler]

just say NO!

[tiny ogre]

"Oh NO you di'in't!"

Oh man, someone please post the one of him eating a watermelon, please!

[CeeKay]

[wonderpug]

Woo!

[th'FOOL]

Ok, I think I've seen my quota of Hitler gifs for the month

[Calvin]

Please, god, no.

[Doomboy]

If that woman doesn't chill the hell out, I might just lose what little mind I have left...

[CeeKay]

Please, god, no.

aw, c'mon!

[Guy Incognito]

Please, god, no.

My thoughts exactly.

[Calvin]

Please, god, no.

aw, c'mon!

All these are great except for the first one!! Calvin does not like bastardization of the comics!! PURIFY THE HEATHENS!!

[Semaj]

still funny nonetheless

[Interloper]

Aww, cmon.  This guy is beggin to be my avatar:

[unbreakable]

I still vote no.  Too much distraction.

[Ralph-Wiggum]

Who wouldn't want to see this every day:

[CrayolaSmoker]

As much as I like animated GIFs, I've gotta vote no on 'em as avatars as well.  Just too damn distracting for my ADD and MTV riddled brain.

[CrayolaSmoker]

Who wouldn't want to see this every day:

My guess would be Copper.

[HankRaptor]

I like it.

[HankRaptor]

I like it.

[Laner]

Who wouldn't want to see this every day:

I don't think Baloo was in The Fox and the Hound.  Therefore irrelevant.  YOU LOES!!!1

[JLu]

I think a thread of animated gifs is more than enough.

For avatars, if I were to get a vote, I'd say 'please, no'

[Bob]

But come on!  Isn't that just lovable?  

Doesn't really matter to me though.  I'm perfectly content with non-gifs.

That's hilarious, depward.

But put me in for NO!.  It's like those animated inline ads. My eyes hurt enough from normal reading much less trying to avoid animated distractions.

good point, cause eventually someone would have something like this:

Had to make sure we had two of those gifs up    HAHA!

[Knightshade Dragon]

[WinoMcCougarstein]

You could see the rest of my avatar in action:

Oh yes, I am an artist.

[Destructor]

I couldn't have put it better myself. Needs to be animated though.

[mytocles]

Hmmm... no.

I've seen a few I thought I'd love to have - and about a million I wished I'd never seen even once.  Besides, it would likely bring the General back...  :shock:

[Nth Power]

While it could be funny at first, I think it would quickly become annoying.

I vote NO!
