Server Suggestion [FORUMS] Allow gif avatars

[Clarky]

Suggestion Title: [FORUMS] Allow gif avatars
Suggestion Description: It would be pretty nice to have a gif as your avatar, whether it be a short snippet of a meme or some quick media creation, I think it would be a great idea to expand the forums further by enabling users to have a moving gif as their avatar.

Why should this be added?:
- More freedom to avatars
- Increases community creativity

What negatives could this have?:
- Could use more bandwidth than necessary (size limit?)
- May be coding obstacles with the forums

hence why I said use a size limit, if your device cannot handle a webpage then I am sorry to hear

This is literally all your fault

If you add this, please make sure there's an option to disable it, like Discord. They can be very distracting

gifs are hardly going to take impact, they were a pretty big thing in the old school internet days
