Gifs require a lot of bytes to store. Big gifs take 1 MB while the smaller gifs take arond 500 KB. If everyone had a gif avatar, that would take the hosters a ton of work and/or money.

I don't know if I've ever seen a sillier comment in my life.

This is a forum supplied by an external company. It is also hosted by a 3rd party company, thus it wouldn't really take him any money unless said company charged for storage (which AFAIK they don't...) Sim just downloaded software (see bottom right corner of the website) to create the forum.
^AFAIK^

You can download IP.Board and run it on your server (like the majority of people) or you can use their own hosted solution; The hosted solution is really bad and I don't think many people use it.
Oh, thank you for informing me. I don't use IP.Board

They have to be at most 100px by 100px. No more than that.
