Having accidentally double posted a couple of times already today I've become quite aware, looking at my avatar, how annoying the animation is. I don't think the specific animation is that bad, I just think animation in an avatar is annoying.
But then again, when I originally made the avatar, it was a lot of work for me.
For anyone that cares to know where it's from, the little guy is Bill from a game called Bill the Demon that was made for the Macintosh several years ago. I think the developer made a flash version of it that can be played from his website now.
should I keep the animated avatar, or should I just pick one frame from it (I'm thinking the last one, where he's grinning and blood is dripping from his mouth.)

Keep it. I like animated avatars*, as you really only notice it if you watch it.
* <--As you can see
I make all of mine, at least to an extent. I have made all sorts of versions of the classic Jesus-Hulk from the episode of Family Guy where Mr. Weed chokes on a dinner roll and dies... Everything from a holiday version to the one-day-only New Years model, now in bright shiny photo-realism! What's next? who knows... maybe it will be random... maybe it will be like the jellied-looking icons from SuSE... only time will tell...
\/ Animated sigs can be nice too, as long as the animation is short and the file size is reasonable. (If you see a static image, don't worry it's a random image script. Just refresh until you see animatedness.)

Tis nobler in the mind to burry this rotten peice of fodder
Than suffer the slings and arrows outrageously bad game-making heaves your way...
