Same applies with gifs losing their animation if not the size. Not everyone has access to a tool to resize it and I don't want personally resize it myself. I know how to but it lowers the quality and there shouldn't be an extra step when changing your avatar.
I mean, there are more than enough free online tools to resize images and .gifs, so to say that "not everyone has access" isn't quite correct, and even a no-frills editor shouldn't cut the quality enough that it'd even be noticeable when sized down to avatar proportions. An automatic avatar resizing within vBulletin itself would likely compress and distort the image far worse than literally any resizing tool you'd find online.
I can safely say this isn't something we're currently looking into and doubt we'd ever take the time to see if it'd even be possible. It's very simple to resize an image and we have faith that the vast majority of TBT users can figure it out without much issue.

But resizing a gif ruins the gif itself.
I'm positive about 95% of animated avi users here if not more resized their gifs for usage, with little if any notable issues. so saying they get ruined is quite a leap
really, if anyone wants to have the gif be in 100x100 with no chances of compression issues or anything from normal gif resizing, the only option would be to make it from scratch with each individual frame already meeting the 100x100 sizing requirements. a forum auto-compression would just look far worse than anything else you could possibly do
