Guys a gentle reminder. We have had issues in the past and would politely ask that the avatars be kept non-moving!
Thank you!
Aaron

Twister....lose the moving stuff. It causes slow loading for those on dial-up. That's the reason we don't allow it. Nothing to do with the fun factor.

I generally don't watch videos for that reason. I have a 28800bps connection, aka: REALY SLOW dial-up. If there are ony videos I want to watch I just do it at the school with their high speed broadband or whatever it is. Thanks for keeping it non moving although I was planning on using a moving one my friend made of the King of Town eating gravy from a pressurized canister. ;D Oh well, I'll use it somewhere.

Some of them in the past have been really distracting and annoying.  Some have been cute.  It is a judgement call.  |

Another forum I'm on recently banned moving avatars because one member who suffered from epilepsy found them very unsettling. They didn't say this publicly on the board, only mentioned it in a PM if you asked the reason for the ban. They seem to annoy some people more than others, even some people without medically recognized conditions.

I'm not lobbying for moving avatars. Since page loading times was given as the reason for not allowing them I just wanted to point out that "moving" has nothing to do with page loading times.

It aint me. I'm down to 2. I did smite you when you put the clown with the tongue sticking out in your post that you deleted when Dawg asked you to.
