Why doesn't 4chan allow animated pngs? Usually they're smaller in filesize than animated gifs, given they have the same low color count.

It's probably because animated PNGs are rarely used and won't become popular anytime soon (unless something amazing happens that promotes the format a lot...).

well it may have something to do with the fact that loads of people have no idea animated pngs exist. me for example

Also probably because most browsers don't support them without some kind of external plug-in, which means they'd just piss off most people who come here.

APNGS are only useful in few situations.

It's only good if you need mroe than basic transparency or if you want better picture auality. That, and animations are superior. However, there aren't many ways to record PNGS so it's kind of not well used.

Plus, only two browsers support it, firefox and opera. More might, I dunno.

Plus, you can't differentiate between a APNG and a normal PNG, so people oculd just poast normal PNGs.

It's not well used, it has no good uses, and it's not well known enouhgh to warrant an expansion of /gif/

I only find it useful for forums/sites that block .gifs as an avatar, for something that needs no color loss, or when I need animations with extreme transparency.

I've only used them about 5 times.

Both Firefox and Opera support it natively. Both are pretty popular on 4chan.

There's no reason to actively block it, though, which is what they're doing here. There's already the filesize limit, that should be enough.
