Please, No Animated GIFs as Avatars

Just a request, mind you. I know that only the select few have avatars at all... and I'm okay with that. But animated GIFs as avatars are really kind of distracting, IMO.

Certain individuals on this board have avatars to demonstrate that they are a "cut above" the rest of us. The true "cream of the crop" of that elite group have animated avatars. I don't see what your problem is with enforcing a caste system, Mojo. Does the NC stand for "Need Communism", hmm?

Only the Mods, Admins and Reviewers have avatars .. nobody is "the cream of the crop" .. Any of the three groups of people have permission to set their own avatar, just didn't pick an animated one.. There's nothing special about it except it's animated.. and becides, I think X is the only one with a animated one...

I think anybody who uses sarcasm without a smilie should be automatically barred from ever receiving an avatar.

Wow, I wasn't aware that option was there and didn't realize how much avatars bugged me until they were gone. Good one!

Animated GIFs can be fun when done with some subtlety and unobtrusiveness.

ERRRT. Wrong. The correct answer is,

"Bus is none of the above".

I think they're cool and if you've earned it (for one reason or another) you deserve it, and the choice of animated or what have you is totally up to the deservant.
