Animated avatars.

[McGee]

I thought they were not allowed.

And its not like they are subtle like the others.

But the others are to cool to moan about and obviously allowed.

*pointless rant*

I've also noticed a few animated ones, and a few ing ones lol.

As far as I know its a bandwidth issue, and in the end of the day its up to Korn/Mods.

The overt ones are quite distracting too (How old do I sound!! )

Mines is under 10kb like the rules state!
You cant ask for the ones you dont like to be deleted,but keep the ones you do like.
If one has to go they should all go.subtle or not.

Steve linking offsite is fine its animated ones that are not allowed.

People like kickstart and stinkwheel are long established members of this place, and have certain allowances made.

I'm guessing that _steve_s never got deleted.

Kickstart asked Korn many many years ago if his avatar was 'ok' to keep when the new rules came in.
Don't think anyone else has.

Quite a few have had animated avatars and had them removed and re-instated them a few times quietly too.

Personally I'm of the opinion that it causes far too much trouble a few people having 'subtle' animations.
Then not only will some have 2mb dancing hamsters, but a few more are going to see it and think "oh, well I can have something a little less subtle and I deserve the right to moan like an OAP who missed her bus when it gets removed". And so on until this forum turns in to yet another replica of myspace - an excellent example of why 'people' should not be given creative control on public websites.

So, out of interest... what do people consider they would be happy to see by /every/ post?... winking pictures, waving flags, jiggling boobs (as a small part), jiggling boobs (as the whole avatar), similar with a male crotch (remembering women do use this site too!), a spasm-inducing japanese cartoon?

Sorry, I obviously didn't read half the posts in this thread, my bad.

And... that's nice , however the intention of the 'no animated avatars' rule was to stop this site turning into an annoying myspace style conglomoration as I was trying to suggest, rather than to try and save bandwidth - for instance on this 'posting' page there is about 24k worth of smilies.

Personally I like the site for the content and the way it tries to focus on the content rather than flashy extras.

And by the way justmetoo, I wasn't aware of this thread until today, so partly thus the confusion with yours.

Oh and McGee, the 10kb limit is also not just for the server - but for those on slow connections (even though most have fast these days) aren't left for too long .
