Not officially, but try uploading one - if it works (and it's appropriate), you can use it!

I sort of remember a past discussion about animated avatars. IIRC, it has been decided they take too much memory and are no longer allowed. Those with animated avatars at that point were grandfathered in, and allowed to stay up.

Can't put my finger on that discussion, but found this one:

Long live the Sparkstation avatar.

[edit] Looks like I don't recall correctly.
