Animated Avatars: Annoying
 

Preamble: This manifesto for change applies to all forums not just this very most delectable forum.

• Once upon a time, we had an animated avatar by Tw1sted which fortunately has been swapped to a static image.
• Tom has a damn animated avatar but isn't posting so much now (on an LTR?).
• Oh and there's another one too, a spinning blue ying-yang annoying thing... isn't posting so much now

Animated Avatars = eye strain, due to having our attention subconciously moved to inappropriate parts of the screen, thus generally a nuisance when we want to read the text.

But, alas, Bristol City Boy is one da scene with his damn animated avatar!


Case in hand, scroll this page:http://www.puaforum.co.uk/field-repo...somewhere.html

Damn animated avatars! As seen on many forums...

#3 Animated Avatars

Personally not arsed about animated avatars

deffo dislike toilet attendants though

I agree with the 'case in point', hadn't noticed it before but it is annoying. I do like twisted's walking bear head tho.

I don't mind either, I do use them on some other forums.

I love animated avatars!
Than fookin yin yang pissed me off though

I voted no, but I'm somewhat biased

Would this one please you more?

talk to the hand

Do you know how fucking long it took to make mine???

I do know what you mean, some can get on your tits but I think we can all agree some can be quite sublime not unlike mine.

You're a poet but don't know it.

D, is that a giant red-purple flashing tooth on a chain? I'm trying to figure out what it is. Item of clothing?

D, u do know that BCB will now want to pimp your avatar to an animated extreme by making your hand wave back and forward wildly, twice a second? It could make a spank motion or something.

I was thinking of spinning round and around with an accompanying strobe light.

If it's irritating a lot of people then I don't mind changing mine, but if the concencus is that people don't mind, I won't.
