Avatars aside, animated .png's are so much better than 256 color limited, crappy transparency effects, compressed .gifs

This site here compares apngs vs .gifs
http://people.mozilla.com/~dolske/apng/demo.html



Firefox - supports apng
Opera - supports apng
Chrome - *supports apng with a plugin
Safari - could have a plugin like chrome if somebody cared enough to make one
IE - lol
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APNG

Netscape supported animated .gifs when IE didn't and now animated .gifs are a standard feature on browsers. I hope the same happens with apng
 
Wonder if they'll bring back animated avatars if the close down the K-Pop thread. Pick any page of that thread and your computer suddenly jugs like shit. Gifs nothing buy gifs in that thread.

Your PC is either really slow or you're using Chrome. Maybe even both.
 
So people wont get banned for an animated .png file?

They will likely be punished, by ban or losing avatar privileges.

Doesn't matter if its .gif .png .mjpeg or anything else, we are not allowed animated avatars.

If people want an avatar with 'movement' they can have an avatar of an optical illusion where the mind/eyes are making it 'animated'. One user did this soon after animated avatars were banned and I thought it was a clever way round the problem.

You can also have a 'two tone' avatar that looks different depending on if your post is an odd or even number in a thread. Someone has a MLP one that is also very clever.

Link to thread that got him banned?

What did he get banned for though?

He heaped praise on Beyonces looks.......that can't be it?

I swear, every single day we seem to lose another long time member.

He said:

Holy fuck, I'd cum on her tits

The moderation team have taken a harder stance on this sort of 'laddish' behaviour. This is what I think is the cause of his ban, you would have to ask a mod to get the official answer.

I'd say "Holy fuck, I'd cum on her tits" is a pretty good contender, but i'm just guessing.

EDIT: Beaten.
