Animated avatars

Do you want 'em? Are they doing your eyes in? Make it hard to pretend you may be doing something vaguely work related?

Nah, they're useful. You can read a thread and pay little attention to the left hand column but subliminally see the avatars and know who posted what.

Of course, that works when there aren't avatars distracting you. Then you can't really read the thread.

I say ban (only on the grounds that for some reason my copy of fireworks seems to save it with a minimum file size of 28KB, if someone technical can tell me how to fix this I'd reverse my vote to a yes...)

against them on principle, just another way of saying look at me, and after a while just becoming really annoying.

Mine's 'me' related.
Express Individualism. It's the tinterweb. Why be restricted?
I wouldn't want a bike related one...
Actually...mine was the influence for my new bike! ;)

It's moving image! If you're gonna ban 'em you might as well ban all avatars completely. All avatars are 'look at me'!
This is my comment!

Can't you miserable bastards who want to browse this forum while you are at work simply drag the window to the left a little so any avatars are off screen ?

The point is that avatars are useful in subliminally knowing who is chatting, but the flashy animated ones are overly distracting to some people.

Having an option to turn off the display of animated avatars on a per user basis would be ideal, for me.

I'd be all for it if there was a selection of boob themed avatars to choose from. If not it's a no vote from me.
