I have noticed that animated avatars are not able to be used. Is this so there arnt (language, I had to, couldnt resist) dancing glitter shit and rainbow piss blinding people? I would love to use an animated avatar with just two frames, very subtle movement. Is there a way to have one that I am just not seeing? Will they ever be allowed, maybe with some rules?

Not really needing help, just incredibly curious about this.

We didn't have any specific plans concerning animated avatars. The reason why this happens is purely technical. Probably you noticed that there are no size limits on avatar upload. Uploaded images are automatically resampled and resaved to match the forum resolution. The script that resamples the images doesn't support more than one frame. I think we can implement animated avatars support as well, though maybe only if the avatar will have the certain dimensions that don't require resampling (I'm not sure about the restrictions and the amount of work required for this feature at this moment). I'll add this to our to-do, though I can't promise that it will be implemented very soon.
