Exclamation New Policy on animated avatars
Guys, I've tried to find a compromise on this issue but it's just not helping. On some pages we have 5-7 people with animated avatars that post and they are usually at least 500k each. A person who is new or doesn't have images cached would need to load 2.5-3.5 megs of images not to mention the rest of the board.

I know some of you really like to animated avatars but unfortunately its just gotten to be too much and it's affecting the board experience for some. From this point we won't be adding any new animated avatars and will be removing others as we have time. Of course, it would help us out if those of you that have them go ahead and change them.

I know this won't be a popular decision with everyone but thanks for understanding and feel free to contact me if you have any comments or questions.

I know. I wish there was a way we could keep avatars but people could choose to enable or disable animations. If I could ever figure a way to do that....
