Sure, I mean we don't have enough things to police on the site already. We do need something to do with all this free time.

Do you mind if I take that literally?

Just let it happen.

Or could you have a selection of animated avatars that we could use?

I remember when we first introduced our animated avatars on DSihub. There was only 1 animated avatar, and just about everyone on the site decided to use it.

Just let it happen.

Yes but then people would complain because other people had the same avatar as they did. And then we'd have to create 13,478 different animated avatars, one for each registered user. That could take some time. James, are you busy for the next 8 or 9 months?

Oh, Corbie, I think that for your avatar, you should have Gregg chopping up some blinking eyes! It makes total sense!

Just let it happen.

You could always just steal them from a free animated GIF site.

I think they should scrap the avatars altogether. A username is enough. Oh and my shield. I can't part with that.

Better yet, why don't we just assign numbers to readers. That would make things easier.

.gif avatars are overrated. .png is where it's at.

Taking away avatars would be terrible! I usually remember people by them and I'd get everyone mixed up if we didn't have them.

EDIT: whats a png?

A .png is a "Portable Network Graphic" image. Just another graphic format, but one considered superior in most respects.

And Terra, anyone that changes their username from one of the greatest video games ever made, to just plain Terra, has no chance of ever becoming a mod on this site as long as I'm in power.

There can only be one, like in that foreign movie where there could only be one, and in the end there is only one dude left, because that was the point.

Or call everyone Realafan, nobody could object to that, would also hit at over individulism, which is a growing problem, also no matter how you beg I keep telling you, Reala ain't interested in becoming a mod, sorry and all, a name changer admin though......

@Corbie: No way, change the usernames to binary, then I won't have to use a translator whenever I want to see who's posting. And they're way smaller than avatars too. For example, pixelman = 0111000001101001011110000110010101101100011011010110000101101110

No animated avatars? Fine...then I'll change it to something a bit more creepy...

I'm working on a game that's coming out soon!

Don't go bringing me into this!

This would be my avatar, incidentally.

We ask that people not use animated avatars please. A fix will be in place soon that will eliminate them either way. Thanks.
