If I had to guess, the avatar is probably reformatted during the upload process to the forum. It's probable that EggHuevo signed in via Google, and it simply takes the avatar from that account; avoiding the format change.
Another thing that might be relevant (or probably not...) is that he didn't get the photogenic badge. Meaning his avatar is treated differently in that aspect as well. It's still a mystery.

A notification showed up telling me I got it... Weird. I just signed in yesterday to the forums, so I'm still pretty new and I don't know where the badges show up (I don't really care, either).
I guess I'll go down in history as the first person to have an animated avatar on the beamdog forums. It's not penicillin, but it's something, I guess.
It's going to get annoying around here very ... very quickly with these avatars.
It is certainly different. Whether or not it is a bad thing though... I am undecided at this point. I can easily see it being annoying to some people, but then I can see other people enjoying it. To me it seems pretty harmless, so long as no one picks something really dumb like bright and rapidly flashing colors. I don't think that would be acceptable.
I would suggest that anyone who chooses to use this newly discovered power does so responsibly. The admins may choose to take this away from us if we abuse it.

I didn't upload it here. It's my google avatar, and I signed in with my google account.
I for one, will not jump on this wagon!

I have only just realised that getting a moving avatar was my life long dream all along...
