Hey, I'm here to rant about somthing tha ges on my frikin nerves! Well once I put up an avatar that was animated,well I had to take it off but thats not what bothers me. What bothers me is the fact that almost everyone has one! and including the "popular people" And the friends of mods? What the heck?? Why is everyone breaking the rules. I know most of you guys wont agree wih me but I'm trying to make a simi important point here^^

What rules are we breaking? I don't really remember reading we can't have animated avatars and siggys. And may I suggest you clarify your wording? I had to reread it to get what it was you were saying. *smiles wryly* (By the way, how do I get a siggy? just wondering...)

Where did you hear we couldn't? I thought we could have what we wanted as long as it was clean. (Beleive me, I follow rules. I just never read it here on the site yet. Correct me if I'm wrong.)

Yes no animated(moving)avvies and siggies because it takes peoples attention off the text they are trying to read in the post.

4. No animated sigs or avatars - Animated images grab a persons attention and a lot of times are just a distraction when trying to read through posts. It also takes people with slower internet connections a long time to load images like these. Also, your signature must be horizontal and the total of the images used must have a size below 600*200. Finally, you're not allowed to put more than one signature.

I remember it was getting annoying apparently. But when I said does that mean I have to change mine? Steet said he didn't notice mine was animated till I pointed it out. That was good enough for me to keep it. I don't think I am popular people though.

No, your avatar is very mildly animated

Only blinking eyes and stuff, so I don't really think anyone would get annoyed by it. Ones that are continuesly moving all the time or flashing, are very very annoying :lol:

Believe me, I'm not against ALL animated avatars or sigs, you can take Acanis's avatar as an example. The problem is that when you make a rule, you can't just make exceptions, because people could interpret things differently.
So, no avatar or animated sig please (unless I give a special permission)

Now, if you see people who don't respect this rule, you're free to report them to the mods. But us mods can't see everything, and many people change their avatars or sigs very often.

ok!^^ but I still think that people atleast try to get away with it by not making very much posts or somthing
