Although I am also in favor of not having to reduce Strike Man to 16 colors and 4 frames =/ We can die heroically, comically, ironically, sadly, suddenly, slowly, disgustingly, charmingly or from a great height.

 Pang, I will aid you in uploads of proper Strike Otoko avatars. I'll ally you in this very worthy cause.  [ SCHNEE-4 - Karlheinz Fassbinder ] |

As you yourself pointed out a 150x105 bmp with no compression is under 50kb. It's not entirely unreasonable for 150x105 png with alpha and of sufficent complexity to be over 30k. Heck, I've run into the avatar file size a number of times when just trying to upload a regular avatar, not even animooted. 75 sounds like a reasonable number to me. There are plenty of other things you can do to replace the page download size, if you're worried about that. I'm also interested in how you're calculating those numbers -- remember, web browsers cache images and don't need to fetch the same thumbs up and thumbs down buttons every time they encounter them.  |

But if we just make the avatars remote we don't need to WORRY about their specific size. Begging for an additional few KB is counterproductive.

And, again, if 75k is okay to increase from 30k, is 200k okay to increase from 75k? Why come up with an arbitrary number like 75k? How do you determine what the upper-bound should be? No one has really posted a compelling reason other than "it's too hard". |

Stop trying to foil my plans of getting 10 megabyte avatars, mikey.
Also, if dial-up users aren't used to a broadband-filled Internet by now then they never will. Their time is over. They can adapt like any other website they visit. [ SCHNEE-4 - Karlheinz Fassbinder ] |

Oh for FUCKSAKE "dial-up users"

Dude pandering to dial-up users is weak as hell. You can't experience shit on the internet these days with dial-up. They're not worth designing anything around.

You guys just keep thinking about yourselves.

Well uh I guess it's true we're acting in our own self-interest but I'm not sure what your motivation even is
"WE WANT CAKE" "Dude we can't afford to buy you cake" "No we brought our own" "Well, we don't have any plates to put the cake on, so" "We brought those too!" "Well, some people don't like cake!" "What's your point?" "It's inconsiderate to eat cake near people who dislike it!!"

Hang on, let me flex my altruism a bit and set up a charity for those who can't afford broadband internet connections. Gotta stop being so selfish!
How many people are even on dial-up? If they are, they should be totally disabling images if they really want to load the site at a reasonable speed. As Pang observed, even lite-set isn't really that dial-up friendly. We should stop writing software that requires anything faster than a 400mhz processor and 128mb because that's all some people have, and we certainly wouldn't want to exclude anyone who refuses to adapt to a changing environment!

Your motives here are altruistic and that's fine but the people you want to help are long past saving. Even AOL's internal websites load like shit on AOL. It can't be helped. If you really want to do those poor souls a favor create an option to view the board in plaintext; it might only take 2 minutes a page to download in that case.
