Just an idea. We have the ability to put different frames of photos together to create a moving image, and it would be neat to apply it to ROBLOX advertisements, because sometimes the templates are too small to fit everything we want in it. There can be a time limit for the GIF so it has a maximum length before it loops again, and you'd have the option of choosing still or gif. Moderators would approve the ads still and if it was an inappropriate gif, it would be deleted. The time limit could be about 4/5 seconds.

Support. And to improve on the idea, I think it should be 15 seconds at most, and it should have to wait an hour or two before your ad is up so that mods can approve.

I just hope they block strobe and flash GIF's as well... (You probably know why.)
If they do, it seems fine. 😃

No support. GIFs are an awful format for many reasons:

- Since they store an animation using frames the file size can be really big.
- They only support 256 colors.
- A GIF loading will literally stop the entire page from loading.

That last one is the biggest one. GIF advertisements will cause extreme lag.

There are other reasons this is a bad idea besides how bad GIFs are:

- Epilepsy
- Large potential for abuse (since they use frames it can happen without the mods knowing)
- Very annoying

The entire point of a good advertisement is to fit what you need to in the small space you have.

It would probably lag some PCs, and noobs could try to give people seizures.
