Why were animated avators banned on msfn

No, this thread is not in support of them but more just so that I can possibly advise other sites of the risks or reasons why they should be banned.

I believe it may be due to them being larger in size and they can also be distracting from the worthwhile content of the posts.

These are my thoughts on what I believe are the reasons animated avatars are prohibited on MSFN. xper, Martin L or one of the other crew can verify if this is true or not.
