Piss off with giving users avatars that are like 1mb in size ffs...

...i mean this has been brought up many times but still it doesn;'t seem to sink in: If you are going to give a user an annoying, large animated avatar, then for the love of God make them filesize it under 100kb or something.

932kb is just rediculously gay...

It's not even an issue of dimensions because it's really not hard to compress an animated gif.

See this? what makes YOU think you can talk to a moderator like that?! disgusting. They're symbols of authority, even if it is an internet forum. Whatever the size for an avatar, it shouldn't be your buisness unless you're on a dialup connection. and even then you can choose to not load images.

Seth Shadows, I did not rise to the position of internet administrator by being sarcastic.
