Benefits:
- VERY useful for GUI movies, icons, etc.
- Can improve model creation with keywords related to "movie" or "stage"
- Useful for foruming and makeshift-siggies
- Expands the usages of images to it's own extent

Proof it's necessary:
There are certain types of sites that utilize the ability to give users the power to make custom .gif images.
Therefore, expanding the imagination and creation of image-uploaders and users who use images oftenly.

Why:
I understand that people can alternate this idea by using scripts, but it will be too much work and may cause several complications to the scripter according to those setting up a .gif image that has a very large timeline and uploading several image files (excluding .gif) via the user's decals. Therefore, this idea can replace the difficulty of making an alternate .gif script(s) and save a lot of time.

The amount of time it takes for an item to be finished pending is long enough. If we have GIF images then it will affect all the designers. Sure it can bring some benefits but it will also bring some problems. I'm neutral on this one.

True, but the decal system will improve it's upload-pending speed someday or in the future.

It's system works like this:

Every single decal submitted goes through a real moderator. A real person working for Roblox. So if the system is to improve (and it is improving slowly) then they will need to hire more trustworthy workers who are willing to moderate for long periods of time. It will cost significantly more money. And if we have GIFs then the moderators will have to look through every individual frame.

Why adding .gif image would kind of cool but....You can search in free models *7 Working Movies* and take a lot at it it's pretty welll um good. see adding .gif will be a total load of Bugs for Roblox so Kids or Non-Mature Kids may post some bad stuff that roblox won't know.

I have no support in this,

@ XIXRaVenXIX

Don't worry, image moderation will be the same as always. Again, I said this can replace the act of making a model that has alternate abilities of a .gif image for the sakes of less time wasting and complex scripting.

Support! Once you could use seperate decals to make movies, but ROBLOX stopped it all. Now it's all still images. GIFs would be great!

We would need an entire team dedicated to censor decals and decal GIFs.
Another waste of ROBLOX's money.

There will have to be some conditions in accepting these files, but I'm willing to see how this turns out.
But just remember; not all .gif's are the same.

Support.

Last I checked it SAYS that you can upload .pngs, .jpgs, and .gifs.

Well, it doesn't actually allow .gifs.


Support.

Roblox supports single frame GIFs I think. That said moving GIFs aren't accepted.

@ Bluescarab100

If ROBLOX servers have the ability to comprehend over millions of loaded bricks then I'd doubt a million decals would make it laggier.

Although, if it's true then there will be a way that the image-uploading system will reduce the lag produced by the images themselves.

I honestly think scripting can bring us images that are like GIFs. Here,

1. Make a brick.
2. Go to Insert Basic Objects and insert a Decal and a Script into the brick.
3. Figure out your Texture ID's you want to show. Each texture is one frame.
4. Write this in the script (You can copy and paste.) :

local decal = script.Parent.Decal
while true do
decal.Texture = "ID_HERE" --The texture ID
wait(2.5) --Write the time in between frames here.
end

-- For every frame just add before the end:
--decal.Texture = "ID_HERE" --The texture ID
--wait(2.5)

5. Finish! ^I made that script.

@ 41Danny1

I got to admit, that was a very good script you made there.

But complements aside, there will still be complications upon creating an alternate or makeshift .gif image with scripts due to prolonged "pending approvals" and images that may have a chance to become content deleted for false reasons.

That is true but the process of having an image go into pending stage and completing it takes a bit of time. I'm sure they'll add support for it later when they have more moderators. :D

gifs would be to much work for the lazy mods. (or, the few mods that there are)

It's a good idea but it requires more moderation. The moderators would have to sit through the .gif especially if it's long. Also, what if someone uploads a .gif that could induce epileptic seizures? Sure, the moderators might not let that through, but what if a moderator was epileptic?

if the mod was epileptic, he shouldn't be a mod, neither should anyone being playing games in roblox.
