Animated gif avatars
-
Can we have animated gif avatars please?
-
It's possible, sure, but I recommend against it because my brain will explode from all the retarded shit you're going to come up with.
This guy on another forum has a fast rotating rainbow as icon and it fucks me up.

Yeah, right or wrong, those are the worst of the worst.

Animated gif avatars are the reason I disable avatars on 90% of the forums I visit. Most are creepy, very annoying, and borderline NSFW.

No. GIF is an obsolete 27-year-old format. I demand WebM or SVG avatars.
Of course we'll have neither because IE refuses to implement WebM or animated SVGs :(.
I see there are smileys here but no apparent way to see them all in a list. :-|

It's only obsolete if there's something to replace it.
-
Animated gifs are overrated. What's wrong with a huge bitmap and paging down over and over to create an animated flipbook effect?
-
I vote for an infinite scrolling animated gif avatar that, when you press home, takes you (rnd(1) * avatar.height) up.

Is it bad I saw your avatar (the two pink balls) and my mind thought it was Buttcrack Guyโข but without the guy?

Probably...
It's one I created myself years ago in light of the name of one of my (currently inactive) blogs...

Is not quoting happening over here?

Animated GIF avatars are possible with a site setting boolean, but strongly not recommended if you value your sanity, or the sanity of others.
-
SVG avatars.
A Turing-complete image format in XML? I think you want The Bad Ideas Thread.

Tell that to PostScript. At least you can sanitize SVGs.
But yes, I agree, they messed it up by taking what could have been a widely-used vector graphics format and turning it into a full-fledged document format with scripts and shit.
-
A site-wide Boolean actually seems like a terrible solution. I would have thought it would be enabled (or enabled once post count reaches x) but mods could take that privilege away (just like they can delete flagged posts, I assume). I won't argue that it's not easier if they are turned off because one more thing to manage definitely is more work but I think they, like ternary statements, could be used responsibly if there were rules we all agreed to on them (e.g. nothing that skirts close to NSFW).

I could agree to everyone not using them, ever. I can't think of anything else I would agree to, personally.

That's not a problem around here... have you been to the old forums?

We value our insanity, and share it vociferously with others.

Sig abuse is a different thing, which is where you Godzilla was. As long as people can disable sigs, I'm fine with sig abuse.

I just want everyone to understand that if animated avitars are permitted, I will do everything in my power to make them so irritating that they are quickly disabled. This is my promise to you, the citizens of this forum. I may not be the hero you want, but I am the hero you need.

Animated avatars are already off. You're not needed. Or wanted.

Hurrah! Another victory for bstorer, and justice! You're welcome, everyone.

But they are available as profile background images. Not that those are visible in any meaningful way at any time to anyone but ourselves.
Unless you want to look up someone's post count, I suppose.

I applaud you, Sir, for asking such a crafty Troll question.
