Actually, yours wasn't all that bad, but some of them are really distracting. For instance, I cannot read anything rtran posts because of the punching-fists avatar. I just have to scroll down until it's off screen. Same goes for the guy with the flashing neon colors in his avatar. I'm sure both are nice fellows with worthwhile things to say, but substance is overshadowed by style in both cases... |

| I had really cool animated avatars before.  Alas, my avatar-changing privileges have been revoked. Oh, the injustice!

( It's the frenetically moving ones that I find really distracting and hence irksome. Yours is relatively innocuous. ) | |

| Surely a "moving" avatar is one that inspires an emotion (so, for Inq Downunder's avatar was both animated and moving)
I missed cornflower's censored avatar so I shall never know what it looked like.

In his ecstasy! then off, off forth on swing,
As a skate’s heel sweeps smooth on a bow-bend: the hurl and gliding
Rebuffed the big wind. My heart in hiding
Stirred for a bird,—the achieve of; the mastery of the thing! | |

| ooh ah, I worked it out. I is a genious. I got this image from internet, copied it, pasted in paint, downsized it using cowpaste's avatar for guadance, converted the now now bitmap image to JPEG using my web design programme, and ooh eh yeah. Not that exciting, but the abilities of the human brain is quite satisfactory sometimes.  | |

| avatarity.com/ Has a lot of really kool avatars and they will adjust them for you to a lot of sizes. Really cool. It is kind of a pain to load up, but they are still good.
