well JPEG's are just too 1991 for me. lol :P
no but seriously. even though GIF's have been around for a long time, they just got very popular within the past 10(?) years or so. and it would be appropriate to go with it. that's also why i said "trend"
Porn and other things that break the rules. You put a normal image for a while, then it switches to people have sex or other stuff that breaks the rules. Not only would this be annoying, but it will take the steam mods and admins a lot long to confirm if its actually breaking the rules or not.
Not everyone has unlimited download bandwidth, some people have very limited bandwidth. Some animated gifts can be quite large. On some other forums, I seen gifs that were 10 or so megs in size. While not huge on its own, you when start getting 10 or 100 or 1000 or more doing larger and larger files.
Use them to hide stuff in, make a zip file of something thats now allowed on Steam, rename the .zip to .gif and upload it. People can then download it.
So no I don't want to see animated gifts as peoples avatars.
You forgot the main reason:
They are bloody annoying. Just take this discussion and imagine each of the for posters would have an animated avatar.
Every other argument so far is spot on for me, though.
gifs were popular in the "beginning" of the internet because videos were not a thing back then and this file format that allowed to do something like videos and that required no plugins for displaying them. it made websites look less static and dull but there was one golden rule, if you wanna look professional and serious, no animated garbage on your website. it was way easier to seperate good from bad services back then.
today ... just used by annoying brickheads that want to relive the crap that myspace allowed and they found old tutorials how to create one or use one of they just use one of the thousands of free online converters to convert videos into gifs. meanwhile, we are at a time were every webbrowser supports videos natively and gif should be obsolete.
that does not work anyway, uploaded files are properly detected, not by their file extension.
i don't see how it would take that much longer than checking a static picture. most GIF's are between 1-2 second. steam could simply limit the GIF size like tumblr to under 2mb.
it wouldn't take any longer to check a gif than a JPEG or other.
again, file size could be limited. and adding to that, there could be an option added to the steam settings that will disable GIF's, or make them only enable (move) by clicking on them.
so people with ♥♥♥♥♥♥ internet have no downside to it. and people who find them annoying won't have to see it neither. and the people that do would like GIF's as avatars, like me, can enjoy it. problem solved.
"The original JPEG group was organized in 1986,[8] issuing the first JPEG standard in 1992, which was approved in September 1992"
you're right. i was mistaken by one year.
Because you can have gifs that are 1 to 2 seconds long, or 1 to 2 minutes long or even longer. Its not like a video file where they can just skip 10 or 20 seconds into the gif, they have to sit there and watch it the whole time to see if it breaks rules.
A 2 meg gif is still pretty large. And the porn part doesn't even have to be animated for people to get their kicks off of sticking it to steam. It could just be a bland static image for most of it, then a few porn images all the way to the end.
A 1 to 2 meg image can hold a lot of stuff. Again what looks like a static image for 20 or so seconds, and then switches to porn for the rest of the time.
To you it might sound dumb, but people would do that just to stick it to steam, just to say to their friends "hey look what I did"
They are not going to add gifs. jpgs is all people need and they already abuse them too. They are just easier to see that they have broken the rules with as the mod doesn't have to sit there waiting for 10, 20, 30 seconds before the images show up which might only show up for 2 or 3 seconds and then be gone till the next round.
