Gravatar, please bring back PNG files!(frickinsweet.com)

Gravatar recently made some big changes when migrating their web application. While most of these changes are a real benefit, there is one big feature that has been removed -- PNG files are no longer supported!

Hopefully they add this back in but they basically told me jpg is the only file type they support.

Thanks for the heads up on Pavatar -- I didn't even realize that existed.

Its not nearly as widely used as Gravatar so that isn't surprising, but is imho a much better option...

Pavatar is nice, but appears to require you host your own website (or at least have a page somewhere on the internets). Most numbnuts don't have this.

What we need is an avatar service that tricks Google images to host your avatar for you.
