Good girls and boys having seizures:

[.:kerrod:.]

i move that this thread should be closed...all it's doing is making people argue, and that's not going to solve anything.

the avatar size has been changed temporarily, and perhaps permanently, so just suck it up and deal with the animations (i know this is bias because my avatar is animated, but seriously, it's not a big issue)...this isn't aimed at anybody in particular, but no matter what your viewpoint is, people aren't going to listen to you; if people want to use animated avatars, people are going to use animated avatars, just let it go, there's nothing you can do (while this sounds hostile, it's not meant that way...i'm just trying to make BOTH sides see some sense)

Uh, the point of this thread is for people to get help with resizing their avatar. I don't think there's that much arguing and almost certainly nobody is hostile.

[.:kerrod:.]

i meant that what i said may be taken as hostile, and while you say there's not much arguing (which i disagree with), there's also not much resizing going on

i'm not trying to argue with you, sorry, i just don't think this is a very productive thread

EDIT: also, my motion was mostly a joke

[Goldenboko]

Let the fools take the horrid animated avatars. Then we just get to laugh at their hideousness.

[Tavrobel]

... [A]lmost certainly nobody is hostile.

Ohh, a rectification to that situation can be arranged. By the way, guys, I have seventeen syllables for you.

Alternatively, use BoB's Simplified. Then the matter of avatars comes out in the wash.

If you can see that it's irrelevant, I'm sure the admins can see it too.

That's a dangerous assumption to make.

Well I went from animated to non-animated. Hard enough for me to get one of my animations in the 60x60 size(me = bad with animations).

Anyhow, this should have been seen as coming. By changing the size limit and advertising it you promote people to gain new avatars. When the people doing the new avatars/resizes happen to be known as animated avatar makers you are going to run into at least a slight increase in animated avatars.


As for me if we go back to 60x60 I will be using my old animated cat girl again. If we stay with 80x80 I will probably continue to use non-animated avatars. Well unless there is a kb increase as well. A KB increase would push me to play with animations more .


Edit- Though hearing all the reactions to animated avatars makes me really want to make one .
Also if it went up to 100x100 or even 150x150(like I see on several forums) I would be even less likely to make animated avatars. At those sizes I can just make more small details. For example my current one was made for a forum with 150x150 size, and it looked a fair bit better there in my opinion. A lot of the micro detail isn't visible at this size(let alone 60x60).

On another topic, <i>there were no girls in EoFF in 2004</i>! Seriously, not a single female in that thread.

Anything you want to reveal, Jojee?

Seeing as you were an active member.

[Del Murder]

There are no girls on the internet period.

[rubah]

I guess I inspired the females of EoFF to come out from behind their rocks when I registered at the end of 2004 ^___________^

Was not xD

My activity period is:
1999 - mid 2000
mid-2001 to 2002
2005 - half year intervals of activity and inactivity. ^_^

The increased use of annoying animated .gifs is pretty much making the decision for us though.

I've only seen two new .gifs so far, and that's Allie's and Aaron's. It's not like that's even very relevant to the avatar size, since one can have annoying .gifs at pretty much any size. The rest of the new .gifs belong to those who already had animated avatars to begin with.

I would've switched to this avatar regardless of the size change, for the record. I'd just have used a smaller version of it. In fact it was actually harder for me to make the change in 80x80 because I had to remove the "Communism" caption from the original version in order to make it fit the file size requirements.
