Thread: How do you get animated Avatars ?

I, for one, am happy you couldn't.

Nothing personal, really. I just find animated avatars disturbing. Nothing more.

If for some reason they stopped allowing it, don't be sad a few have them and you do not. As in any good democracy, some are just more equal than others.

It's kind of a grandfather rule situation... Unfortunately, if you missed the boat, it likely won't be coming around again.

However, like Mario, some people despise them. However, I do find it humorous that Mario finds my dancing milk carton distrubing whilst he totes around his avatar which appears to be an angry blind-folded baby person that is praying in the darkness... maybe I just have bad eyes, though. It still gives me nightmares.

Most of them. But there are very nice indeed... How I miss the prelude's animated avatar she had in time I was just coming this board...

Being a moderator or admin gives you special privileges

It's even more disturbing if I tell you from where it is. It's a shameful slice-copy-paste from a stop-motion movies based on Poe's the Pit and the Pendulum. I'm a fan of stop-motion and of Poe. Rest assured I have no empathy for the character. Just found the image cool.

Meanwhile I don't find yours too disturbing actually. It's kinda cute the little bugger. Original work?

Negative. On another forum, I used to use one that was actually frames from the music video, but someone complained that it took too long to load, so I search the internet and found this one.

I think a better word is distracting. Not disturbing. My english betrays me sometimes.

I feel animated avatars to be distracting most of the time. I honesty, however, can't complain of any avatar I've seen so far on these forums.

Let's have a Hottest Avatar Contest!*
I will be the judge.


*Note: Admins and moderators CANNOT participate, Unless they give us the freedom to have animated Avatars of the same size as they have!

>I tried to upload a .gif image but it says i kan't upload an animated avatar ?
cprog used to allow animated avatars, but that rule changed. However, those who already had an animated avatar at the time of the change were allowed to keep it.

>Prelude's avatar is both animated and larger than maximum size. (it's not right)
It makes me stand out, doesn't it?

>How I miss the prelude's animated avatar she had in time I was just coming this board...
The blue crystal ball? I liked that one too.
