Request: GIF Forum Avatars
Hola.
Not entirely sure if this was brought up ages ago or something, or if I need to start a petition (I honestly hope not), but would it be cool if the forums got an update that allowed users to have gifs as their avatars?
I've always wanted it, and I kind of think it's pretty neat idea. Hopefully it's not asking for much?
Thanks. c:

No thank you, this would likely cause serious slowdown and crashing for mobile users, like myself.
Sounds like a cool idea, though I'm a mobile user so this would really limit me :c
Besides normal avatars are fine to me, gifs don't really feel like good avatars. I've seen it in other forums, not that worth it.
this would kill mobile users but might work maybe telltale could have a mobile compatible version of the forums
It be cool, but like other said, it would crash mobile, but I wish we could use images for profile descriptions
They should have an app.
The latest major update to the site from back in August made it to where the site was mobile friendly, so I don't think they would make an app on top of that.
The old forum used to allow animated images, but this forum switched to using gravatar instead of allowing people to upload their own images (presumably to lessen the drain on the server, as the old site was always down as it was constantly going into maintenance mode).
Those days weren't fond memories for me at all. I had animated gif avatars before, but I'm willing to deal with gravatar if it means a more stable forum. I'd much rather not have the site go down all the time like it did in the old days.
