Poll: Do Gif Avatars Annoy You?

[viking97]

nnnnooo...why would they? and that fly gif makes me swat at my screen EVERY DAMN TIME.

 

[Fieldy409_v1legacy]

I like em especially when they are dancing ones and they dance to my music!

 

[Itsthefuzz]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say I like GIF avatars.

 

[elbrandino]

.gif avatars have never bothered me. I find them entertaining, usually.

 

[TheKruzdawg]

Diversity is always better than plainness and that's what a image avatar is. I used to use one, now I gave him psychedelic sunglasses.

It's even better because it's the Dude

 

[Nalgas D. Lemur]

Most of them are at least mildly annoying to me most of the time, and some of them really irritate me, but since they're allowed and even encouraged here, I would never complain. I just ignore them and move on, because they're part of the forum culture here. On forums that I admin and actually get to set policies on, though, they're not allowed. Heh.

 

[BristolBerserker]

I have no problem with them.

 

[manaman]

Good lord do they annoy the hell out of me.


Wait... Did you just move Mr. Mudcrab?

No offense, but there's something about your avatar that angers me to the core..... I'm not sure what though.

 

[RaphaelsRedemption]

They're my one pet hate. I simply HATE the concept of using a GIF avatar. It is stupid.

My head is so filled with "I DON'T UNDERSTAND" right now.

I love your avatars. Where do you find them? The current one is really funny.

OT: I haven't changed my avatar in ages. It's because I love it so much. GIFs for the win!

Trade secret, man. Trade secret.

allow my avatar to change your mind

 

[Samurai Silhouette]

These are all very disturbing and/or distracting.

I can't find the user, but they have this as theirs.

But I don't really have a problem with them.

 

[razor0512]

I always use GIF avatars if a site allows it.

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

Yes, I hate them. It's so annoying. Why do people have to shove their gif avatars in our faces all the time? It's like, what, jpeg's and png's not good enough for you?

Nope!

Cyriak Harris can't eat an unsuspecting pier in .jpeg format!

 

[game-lover]

Not usually. But it would depend.

Like if there was a gif where a person was vomiting over and over and over, I'd want to block it. But I'd hate it if it were a still image so... *shrugs*

 

[Robert632]

THe only time I'mm a little bit put off by a gif avatar is when it's one of those ones that jumps back to the beginning instead fluidly lopping back again.

What is this, I don't even...

I've gotten a fair amount of notice from my avatar. It's a shame, there are so many other great Tyra .gifs out there that I don't use because I feel like people recognize me for my avatar.

I can't find the user, but they have this as theirs.

Present.

 

[Foxbat Flyer]

I love them, I want to get one again now...
