Topic: Animated avatars?

so... how come some are still working and others not so much? mine's no longer moving... but irk's is... and HolyMackerel's, too....

_{Nice isn't in my programming but...}

PWEEZ???

That includes me though, right? ...Right!?
_{I don't really care about animated avatars anyway...}

Yours is moving, bro.

With a Chewwy on top?

I'm so gonna make my avatar blink now, but only once every 10 minutes. So if the admins see it they'll just think they're seeing things.
brb Photoshopping.

....Done.

_{Now maybe they'll read this message and spend 10 minutes staring at my avatar to see whether or not I really did just do that. Bwahaha.}

mine's moving? why can't i see it? am i going crazy??? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I watched your avatar for 2 minutes, but then I realized there wasn't a note saying you had edited that post.

Stare deep into my avi's eyes, and all your troubles will be solved

Aww.... back to non-flashing Bubbleman

My browser supports tabs, y'know. I can do several things at once

How do you use photoshop to make something blink? I want to know!

I actually use Fireworks, which supports animation frames. Can't afford Photoshop (the version of Fireworks I'm using is pretty ancient now). So can't help you there.

WOW! Three pages since I made this.

I have no Flipnote program on my laptop, and it's hard to imagine what an animated StarBoy would look like. Maybe someday I might make an animated avatar, once I have the means to do so, and once it's allowed.
Still, animated avatars, that's a neat concept.
EDIT: Taking away avatars sounds horrible! I recognize many users not just by their names, but by their avatars.

A text-only forum without avatars would blow chunks. You gotta let people have some way of identifying themselves and being creative. A lack of identity breeds anonymity, and before you know it, you're rocking the same kind of members that make Gamespot message boards and 4Chan the cancerous lumps of internet that they are.

I'm amused. Thread questioning the small handful of animated avatars is created > mods/admins declare animated avatars to be against the rules > near enough everybody starts using animated avatars.

Look at the Announcement section. Animated avatars are now allowed.

I want an animated MetalMario picture...but I dont have Photoshop...
