Some people hate em others love em, should we allow animated images in avatars?

We've had this discussion internally and haven't been able to reach a resolution so it's up to you, the people...

Amongst the reasons (I've been given) against are:

Annoying
Painful
Distracting
Bad if you're on dial up

I said no, because although I have nothing against animated avatars as such, some people just have no taste

I've said no as I find them a distraction.

I've said no because they are distracting - however if someone has a moving avatar I just press the esc button and it stops moving - until I refresh the page or look in a different thread when I have to do it again if necessary.

They are distracting. Just because you can do things with technology it doesn't necessarily follow that those 'things' are worth doing.

I was so relieved when I saw the poll result that I'm not the only one who finds them too "flashy".

I come in here for a rest from all that bells and whistles stuff.

Couldn't you make your wind-turbines move?

Oh, no we won't be allowed.

Simon, I made a short video of these for my blog and it came out as a minute of blurry semi-stationary cheapo windcharger with what sounded like wind sound effects in the background...

Would be nice though for an avatar ! but as I don't approve of that sort of thing...humph

I said no, because although the few we have on here don't bother me too much (apart from that flying saucer of Ruby's that made me feel sick), if I stumble on to a forum where everyone has them I can't stand it.
