Okay, here's the thing.
I have an animated .gif file I'd love to use for my avatar, but there's a problem.
You see, it's larger than 80x80, BUT, the actual area in which the animation takes place is smaller than 80 x 80
Here's the gif, you'll see what I mean:

See that huge unused area of black on the top an bottom? take that off, and a mere 8 pixils from the left side, and it'd be 80x80 or under, I'm sure!
The problem is, out of the 4 gif animation editors, all of them let me resize the image, but not crop off those areas! (Resizing made it look shitty)
Actually, one would've let me in a bass-akward sort of way, but it also plasterd it's logo over the image, which blocked out alot of it :rolleyes:
Anyone have any ability to rectify this? I don't want to have to take a screenshot of each individual frame, crop it, and then make it into a new .gif (at 80 frames, it would take longer to do that than it took to make the origional, I'm sure!)
EDIT: why the fuck is the url saying http://forums.worldatwarmod.com/%3Cb%3E*%20Makai%20Goblinmbers.cox.net/gobbeh/g_anm_030_i.gif
when I clearly typed in a working URL? (I'm looking at it in another window, and the url it's showing is the same one I copy/pasted to make the post!)
