animated ( gif) avatars :)))?

please ... don't start me on gifs... i'll never stop!

I'd hate that on my avatar :)

:) what is wrong with them :))))?

They are ok... nothing wrong with them...

BUT.. in an avatar they will be distracting, especially for a chess site.

For a chat site ok... but not for a chess site :)

*just my opinion*

mmm ,then we should delete forums, pictures and chat windows near the game .... they are distracting... much. :)))) and yes, better to play against computer , no distraction at all :))))

u have a point :)

That's like asking Magnus Carlsen to stop playing with his pawns during games.

:) i dont think he'll come to play with me , i want my distracting avatar :)))

This one is for staff (name withheld)

:))

and you always can choose to play only with people with no avatar :)

Deep down, in my heart, I do too... BUT

...let's face it, it's not gonna happen :(

who knows, who knows :))

I love the above.  Want one.  

I agree.....some of them are really cute though  lol

Didn't you mean, "nae"?

nahhh!

This one everyone should use and maybe chess.com should make it available .... to highlight a point ....

Like Caesar?
