Avatar file size limit

It was 19.6KB. I, for one, protest this change. Years of making aesthetically pleasing animated avatars under the file size limit have been wasted now. How will the animated .gif makers of tomorrow learn how to optimize their .gifs with such a huge ceiling? This is another intrusion of internet 2.0 on our forum, just like the Facebook-style walls on our user pages and the user groups that don't even tell you when someone has posted. At this rate, we'll all be playing NPF-ville and bad Puyo Pop clones within the year!

Edit: Maybe it was 19.8. It was a sliver under 20K.
