Back in the day everyone had these but they removed it.
Anyone who still has it has had it since long ago. If they change it they lose the ability to have animated.
@thedogandthecello
My avatar was animated since I joined in 2006. Then, due to a ridiculous complaint, it was deleted, now it is not animated anymore. I consider it an injustice. Thanks for your attention.
@thedogandthecello
Some of them were visually annoying; I recall the contra-rotating b&w-spirals avatar was very distracting.
@thedogandthecello
I don't remember whose it was, but I remember the avatar.
Quanto's is a bit nervy--I had not noticed it, until it was mentioned in this thread. He doesn't post to the forums, and I play only club tournies, so we haven't crossed paths here.
@D4V saidThere should be no work-around.
Hello, I read this in the site rules: "Animated images are not permitted. Animation will be removed once uploaded" but I see that the user Quanto has an animation as his avatar. What kind of file can I use to have the same effect as Quanto's avatar?
Thank you very much.
Animation is not required for anything meaningful in an avatar (that includes yours an i do remember the animation).

BOTTOM SPANKING ON A CHESS SITE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE
Bishops mating Kings, Knights mating Queens, etc is ok; but not Kings mating Queens as that is not possible
PS - moving, blinking, flashing memes/avatars are so yesterday
@D4V
Non dovrebbero esserci soluzioni alternative.
L'animazione non è richiesta per nulla di significativo in un avatar (incluso il tuo e ricordo l'animazione).
@Ponderable saidIf you thought you could amaze me with an automatic translation from Google Translate, I'm sorry but you failed. Often these literal translations are not sensible. In fact "L'animazione non è richiesta per nulla di significativo in un avatar (incluso il tuo e ricordo l'animazione)" makes absolutely no sense in Italian. I kindly asked for another way to express that concept precisely because Google's automatic translation failed this time. Even the apparently simple sentence "Non dovrebbero esserci soluzioni alternative" can have dubious translations between different meanings, for example it could mean "I'm sorry but there doesn't seem to be any workarounds." or "There must not be any workarounds, (ie for legal reasons)"

I hope I have clarified my request without controversy.
@MartinS saidAre you the one who decides what is acceptable or not on this site? My avatar does not show sexual or violent content, if you have problems seeing a dressed ass I think you should ask for help from a doctor.

P.S. I think you need to read your messages better before posting because that tongue twister about "mating" contains a serious typo.
