Cant put GIF as avatar anymore?

I think in the early days, i can make a moving avatar. But not for now. Why?

Thanks.

I remember me visiting this place long ago and seeing people with gif avatars, nowadays that's not possible. I also would like to know why.

The new forum software doesn't support gifs as avatars.

Aw sucks. Why the optimization software cant detect gifs as for now

They can make an exception for gifs. If its too large, the software can reject it.

Not having gifs in avatars is a good thing.

Wasn't this change made, like, a year ago?

About a year and a half ago, yes.

Too right!! And I wouldn't want anyone to get any sort of special avatar treatment either.

You wouldn't be tempted to do a fifty shades of grey gif?
