formats

[TifaKhan]

I dont know if this belongs in bugs or where, if i'm posting in the wrong place i apologize, i'm still finding my way round.
Has Stefan actually said it is illegal to use .gif format?
Because i had a lengthy conversation with someone on aim
about this.
I told them i believed it was because of possible copyright laws
which this person believes is ridiculous.
Here's the conversation.
I know there was a thread about it somewhere but i have no clue where to start looking.



unknown: no....its like the whole head is transparent
unknown: man id send gif but i dont wanna get you in trouble...i guess i wont be able to make anymore gfx cause all i can sucessfully do is gif..
unknown: i cant make png or mng...
unknown: they always screw up...
unknown: no one MAKES those anymore and that *** no gifs rule sux
unknown: i think if enoughof us complain maybe stefan will stop the gif rule
unknown: im starting to wander if its some staff runnin around to avoid uploading
FunnyGirlTifa: maybe, tho i heard it was some copyright thing, but if .gif is copyright thats strange
unknown: it cant be =/ cause people make CRAP loads of gifs you go EVERYWERE to find gifs you cant copy right .gif =/ did stefan himself say this rule
FunnyGirlTifa: not exactly but i remember him saying we shouldnt upload them, i canpost about it if you like
unknown: please because i cant make or do anything...and one reason i come to graal is because i could put my skill to use...
FunnyGirlTifa: ok i will
unknown: he said you shouldnt but he didnt say you couldnt
FunnyGirlTifa: its been awhile since i saw the post
unknown: ok i just checked it .gif is NOT copyrighted
unknown: its a shareware
unknown: if it wre copyrighted you wouldnt find it all over the net
FunnyGirlTifa: ok thats true, sadly no admins or managers are on to ask
FunnyGirlTifa: so i'll post on the forums
unknown: ok
