Why won't my animated gif flash as my avatar

I have an animated gif that works just fine when uploaded as an attachment to a thread but it doesn't work as my avatar. It seems you allow avatars that move as I have seen some. But Mine doesn't when put in the avatar spot...Is there some secrete to this I need to know? I have attached it so you can it works as an attachment.

Check the size of the file. If it is over 96 or 97 kb it will not animate.

The animated GIF file must contain an image size no larger than 150 X 150 pixels or 97.7 KB, whichever is smaller.

A little bit of pixelation.. but if you have your own editor, the restrictions are listed.

No larger than 150 X 150 pixels or 97.7 KB, whichever is smaller.
