Might be. But this has been bugging me since I've joined this forum, and i had to speak my mind.

Because they are very, very distracting. I wouldn't turn on the TV next to me, when I'm reading a book.
In the same way, reading any post while the inevitable gif dances around at the top and the bottom of the screen is something that i find extremely unnerving. Take any page from any thread and you will almost always come across several of these. And having to load that extra MB of data per page isn't so great either.
I'd go to YouTube if i wanted to see clips from SnK or other Animes.
I must add, it's not
too much of a deal to me anymore, because i (re-)discovered the delights of AdBlock a while ago. So i simply blocked all huge signature gifs that i came across, one after one.
However, i thought that with my post above i might be speaking for at least some others too. Assuming I'm not the only one that wants to be able to read around in this forum, undistracted, without having to create a huge filter list in some Add-On, first.
