| 1151796 | 2010-11-10 01:50:00 | Coz mostly people use pictures of Mario humping Peach, and static ones seem to suffice :) Unless they add some additional "benefit" I'm not aware of, it's probably best to stick with static images for now :) |

| 1151799 | 2010-11-10 02:58:00 | Potentially, but you're able to disable avatars on your own account if you choose to do-so, so surely if you're aware you suffer from epilepsy or migraines that are set on by those things, if you frequent a forum it'd make sense to disable them. Mostly, personally, I think it's because they add little value aside from the "Cool" factor, but it's then just something additional for us to police and have to worry about ;) |

| 1151803 | 2010-11-10 04:26:00 | Yeah, that's a good point, which is why most forums (Dunno about vBulletin) let you disable animated avatars only, as well as "all" avatars :) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
