Edit: I don't believe there are, but unofficially I bet there will be. There are questions over how many times it will have to load, and obviously even a small increase in file size will affect how much is loaded every, obsessive, refresh ;)

# Except that, technically, it shouldn't
The theory being that in this day and age, browsers cache files so they don't have to be downloaded every refresh.

Of course, I'm forgetting about the two and a half users who don't use a v4 or better browser...

# Thus the 'questions'
That's been pointed out, but no-one seems really sure how often it happens, and whether it would be be an issue even if it was only the once

# erm?
Cache?

If your browser doesn't cache images then you really wouldn't visit B3ta.

# We tried an animated icon once,
years ago, for Bonfire Night. It was cool for about three seconds, but rapidly became eyemeltingly annoying.

# Hahah, this


...though I still like the hats

# It was back when there was only one icon,
and we replaced it with the gif, so nearly everyone on the board had little exploding fireworks next to their names. Bit daft.
