I'll leave it to someone else to organize them, convert the ones that didn't work well, and upload them here. I just installed the swftools package from the Ubuntu repositories and ran:
Seemed to work for the majority of them. The avatar ones didn't work too well (clothing, hair, etc.), as well as one or two other sets (Overlays and Locations), so those might need to be converted another way. This should get us most of the way there, though.
Regarding the "New Art by my Friends"/User Subscriptions: YES. Love it.
For submissions which are grouped together into one larger one, are Favorites assigned to the original submitter or to the aggregating user? Likewise, if there are any Favorites, comments, etc. on the individual submissions, do they stick around or are the Favorites/comments lost to the ether?
As an aside, the reason there are 8 "popular this week" submissions on the front page and only 4 latest submissions is to deal with this exact problem, where high quality art would be knocked off the main page by someone flooding the site with trivial submissions.
I do like having the larger Popular This Week section on the front page, but is there any reason you couldn't have a larger Latest Art front page section as well? When there's a flood of new submissions, it tends to make it much, much harder for any individual piece to get noticed in the first place, let alone garner enough attention to get into Popular This Week.
And for the record, I was only ever "that guy" in my writing classes. :)
Looks like getFilename is written too broadly - it shouldn't replace anything in the path, just in the filename itself. Try using os.path functions to separate the path from the filename, do the substitution on the filename only, then re-join them and return the result:
@Sishio: If you're willing to use something a little larger than 32x32, you may want to check out the platformer character I did recently, 32x64 (actually only 48-ish tall, but with headroom for overhand slashes, etc.). It has quite a few of the animations you're looking for, and wouldn't be too difficult to skin with your character's clothing, hair, and other details (the naked character base is in the .zip file). Still requires some work to be game-ready, but it would at least save you some time animating.
My project won't be off the ground for a good while yet, so it'd be cool to see him get used somewhere. Hope it helps!
Weird - I get the same error, running Ubuntu 10.04. Works if I save the file and run gunzip and tar separately, though.
Nice! The style looks like it might fit well with Ultimate Smash Friends (if only it were still maintained).
Here's most of them in .png format.

Different Hutchison, too. The Effect guy is John Hutchison; the fractal guy is mathematician John E. Hutchinson.
Greets! You should check out the work of CharlesGabriel - he's submitted a variety of avatar portraits in an anime style.
He didn't brush it off - he relicensed to CC0 as requested. I read that more as a "*shrug* Works for me" type of deal.
