Given… ahem… recent developments (sideeyes @Wyvern), I thought it would be a good opportunity to turn on animated avatars and test them out.
This is a gaming/gamer forum after all, so there’s no need to be super cereal all the time.
But remember: with great power comes great responsibility.
If the animated avatars make your eyes bleed / eat your data, let me know.

I am quite chuffed. I made this .gif as a birthday invitation ages ago (waiting to turn 40) and finally I can show it off in animated form 
A bit boring as an avatar though.

Figured the first one I tried will give someone a seizure, so this one will have to do.

Still can’t find the ‘right’ one for myself, but one for @DieGrootHammer perhaps?

Just FYI, it is super simple to crop gifs in GIMP.
- Right click image in browser -> Save image
- In GIMP, File -> Open as layers…
- Select crop tool, set to 1:1 fixed aspect ratio. Crop
- Export as-> give it a .gif extension, click export, select ‘as animation’ and ‘loop forever’, and click export
I see how squished they can get with the auto resize. Either that, or @DieGrootHammer’s avatar knocked himself outta shape.
If you want, use this one, already cropped for ya.

I love the fact that you have an animated Avatar avatar with a bunch of avatars from the animated Avatar series.
