You really don't need an animation program just to make an avatar. But anyway, the GIMP is good, I hear.

To make animated Avatars

The GIMP can animate. Look through the page I linked. ;P

GAP (the GIMP Animation Package) for 2.0 is available at ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/plug-ins/v2.0/gap.

I use something called HVS animator...

You can find more on http://www.download.com and search Gif Animator...

You could download a trial version of Animation Shop.

PS You have Zero in your avatar. That makes me happy.

Files animated with UnFreez have HUGE filesizes though.

Graphics don't have to be animated to be great. I rarely animate anything anymore, because I can't stand the tedium of it. Though animating does add a certain amount of pizazz to things.

Hmm I agree. I don't really like animating stuff. Sometimes things are better without animation. ^^

Yup, I once had a 110 kb av (and I seemed to have gotten away with it for four months or so, until I switched it myself) made fro UnFREEz. What it basically does is pile up all the images you select. Even if there's just a letter's difference in each "frame", it piles on the filesize of each image you select. So if you're animating something, say, with 20 different flashing letters and your image is 6 kb, that's pretty much 120 kb right there. Way over the PPT limit too.

Listen you don't need anything fancy. I make all my images with ms paint and a program called coffeecup gif animator. just go to coffeecup.com and you can download a free trial. Or if you look around you can find versoin 3.0 for free and it won't dissapear.
