How did Western (prisonerblogger) get an animated avatar?

I thought they were disabled?

EDIT: I just realised he had joined 2004, my bad, only seen him around recently so presumed he had just joined.

 

maybe they are now re-enabled.

 

I hate that avatar - really creepy -

 

he had no access to the internet for about 4 years
read his first post > Hello world!

 

what kind of prison gives you access to the internet but doesn't let you see the sun light?
