I have an idea for armatars, that being .gif armatars. Yes, there is a possibility of site lagg, whole new set of armatars to make, being harder to make and other stuff to worry about, but I would like for instance my armatar, the fox one, has a looping animation of wind blowing so his fur is moving correspondingly with the wind that is up, down. I think they would be more interesting to have than .jpg armatars we have now. This is just a suggestion (most likely to be rejected for obvious reasons) but if ever do taken seriously, I would really enjoy having .gif armatars, much more interesting to have. Also, they don't have to be all .gif, but some new armatars that are. Just a thought.

I think cormyn has already said no to animated armatars.

I wasn't feeling like scrolling through comments to see that, but thanks for telling me.

The armatar system you have now is alright and there's nothing wrong with it aside from that there's not much content for decisions

I think that idea is already implemented.

Can you describe this a bit more? Not entirely sure what you mean here.

Yes, it is. We're requiring gamedevs to upload several images now when they submit a game. Eventually we'll have a way for them to send us several armatars specific to their game.

And before someone else asks the question again, no, we are not unlocking these game armatars based on Achievements.

ummm, is there gonna be more armatars added to the armatar section of the control panel? or is it the same as it is now.... 

anyway, i think that there should be armatars added to your armatar selection based on how many AP you earn or if there is a specific acheivement that you have made... so instead of having just a couple of armatars available and people having the same armatar, it is unique to that user

You apparently ignored what cormyn said here:
