Sorry for starting a new topic just for this, but it was after I visited my profile that I realized the need for this thing. If you go to my profile, you will see that my avatar is an animated gif of a cute creature. I have also seen other people who put up animated avatars like me. What I am saying is that, it would be awesome if the avatar that is shown otherwise is also animated. When I post something or if my name appears somewhere, its a still picture. Having animated avatars everywhere would be nice!

But it could also be highly distracting.

While I don't mind the option to have animated avatars, I would like to see an option to NOT see them as well. Just as we all have the option to not view sig's.

I would like this. However, I can sense people just putting brightly flashing avatars to abuse the system.

If I could make my skullstache wiggle I would be soooo happy.

But unfortunately, as everyone else said, it would be far to easy to abuse, so I doubt it would ever happen.

It is odd that your avatar will animate on your profile page, but not on the main forum pages, though.

Why do you say that_ Sigs can be animated, and I can only think of one person who uses a flashy one.

Though of course, avatars can't be blocked. Still..

Yeah, but dude, we are at 1750. As much as we would like to be Professional Yolodrivers like you [Meraple] and Lightangel112, we're not there yet. It's something to aspire to, sure, but there's a lot of ground to cover.

With the current community size and nature, I doubt anything like this would happen. But if the game were to grow substantially, I can see lots of people with avatars purely meant to troll :(

As suggested, if the game grew substantially, we would have more moderators who would ban trollers. Plus, yes. The option of switching it off should be there too!
