if more programs supported MNGs, it would make the world a better place.

GIFs are like the child you have to say you love.

Because people get 1k way too easy, and the enormous amount of large GIF files that are rolling in are taking up too much space on the server.

and also it's nice to have to earn more to get a fancier hat

+1 to the ones who got this idea

Are you serious, nobody does 5k hour hats, like the only people who actually do 5k hour hats are like the ldr and the ldrs Bfffls. Does this mean you people aren't gonna sell gif hats because the fact that most of graal hats are surprisingly awful given the fact you are taking gif away is pretty sad. But I guess it's preventing lag, but if you want to fix lag why not just make the area near giant blob spawn invisible. This is pretty dumb. What's next you are gonna take away the ability to make gif heads or probably get rid of custom heads and bodies overall. You might as well fire the entire Gfx staff to and just hire people who put edit heads in their status because that's pretty much what to expect without gif.

Calm down bro.
You want animated hat?
Get to 5k, or buy a gif hat in a shop.

APNG is way better, and is actually starting to get some love and support.

Haven't heard a lot about the APNG format. Haven't used it either - will have to do some research :3

It's basically an expansion of PNG, so it supports all the features that PNG has but allowing animation. Also, if APNG is not supported, since it's technically the same format, it will just display the first frame instead of being broken.

I think it has a lot to do with the implementation. Because guild hats are added to accounts, rather than guilds, it encourages all kinds of shady practices. Things like creating/throwing away guilds to get another set of 1k hats, or removing/adding members so friends and such get the hat instead of the guild members who achieved it.

Guilds as a whole need some major revamping. Things should be rewarded to the guilds themselves and not the player accounts. Maybe then players won't consider guilds so disposable.

I like seeing the changes happen now (looking at starting up the tower thang soon just for kicks), and I think that the concept of a guild-related hat is good.
I like the concept of having it be guild-reward based and not credited to player accounts.

What would be workable (in my mind) would be having the hat jump into the player inventory when they are 'on tag' in game, sort of like the 'android,' 'facebook,' 'skyrider,' and 'i-device' hats show up depending on what platform you are logged in by.

this is a cool idea so you can have only 1 hat spot for all your 1k's. This would make it so you dont ditch your tag.
