Sorry to be the mean Admin but:

Forum Rules said:
- No animated images are allowed.

This includes avatars/signatures etc...

But we could put rotater on to these avatars so as to change them after each refresh??

Image rotators are also not allowed on the forum for the time being. In the future maybe..but not currently.

thats an animated pic, wich is not allowed :(

Not really. Animated means "moving without refresh" --- well kinda

Rotators are just a way to show many images without having to manually change.
