Yeah, this here is basically 90% of the reason we limit avatar size.

Because if the size, or because of Sanjaya?

It's always hard for me to be satisfied with a single frame avatar.

For example:

I don't think I could provide better reasons for not increasing the size limit if I tried. You guys are great.

But in all seriousness, even if the admins decided to relax the size limit (which seems unlikely), I can't imagine any circumstance in which they'd raise it to the third or fourth of a megabyte that the avatars you've posted would require. Can you imagine what our bandwidth bills would be like if everybody had a 300k avatar?

Nothing if they had to be offsite-linked :p

But yeah, those things are still really big. They're fine on other, smaller forums, but I can't imagine what would happen if 1/4 meg avatars were allowed at a big forum like this. It'd slow things down even for some of the broadband types.

I'll throw my hat into the "75K total limit for sig+avy if you offsite link the avatar" crowd, but you know who cares. *shrug*

What we REALLY need is an emote that describes the feeling of *shrug*. The feeling is somewhere in between :rolleyes: :-S and ;)

I like all the discussion that's going on, when we all know that nothing will ever change.

They're only proposing a change on off-site avatars, which wouldn't hurt the bandwith. I'm still against a change, though. Big avatars and sigs can get really annoying.

Stu has stated in the rules that even offsite-linked avatars must fall within the rules as well.

Please add something to the conversation or don't post.

You guys are obviously ignoring this statement, so I decided to bolden it for you, to make you realize that the perfect solution is that.

Didn't ignore it.
Didn't even try to argue against it.
The issue is that mega huge avvys make for painful loading for people on slow connections.
Our forum, our choice.

There are tons of forums out in the big ol' scary internet that allow bigger file sizes. The fact is, that, unlike what you guys think, 25 kb isn't huge and spooky. 10 kb is ridiculously small!

No, it's not ridiculously small. People have done plenty of good avatars within the current size limitations, and there's absolutely no reason we can't continue to do so.

So what if it doesn't allow for intense animation graphics? So what if it means 100 x 100 dimensions? Honestly do you really NEED those to be bigger in order to post here?

I love my name being all over a fight :rolleyes:

It's really not worth an argument. No one's ever died from 10K avys.

Now what we REALLY need is a wordfilter that changes "Rule 1" to something embarrassing :p

No, but some people would like it, and it would be no inconvenience to those who could change it.

Some of the Admins would beg to differ, and in fact, have done so right here in this thread.

That's much more forum-appropriate than what I was thinking of ;)

There's really nothing else that can be said about this... all the positions have been stated, they're there for the admins to review, and the admins really don't think this is a priority. So this is just a stage for arguments. But I don't wanna be accused of locking it so I have the last word, so someone else say something on topic and then I'll lock it.

k go.

EDIT: aw, you guys down there... I called dibs X-(
hehe jk.

Some admins also whined about banning Al's account, and I know phpBB2. Click, click, copy-paste, done.

Yeah, lock this mess.

As this discussion is getting repetitive and going nowhere, I propose a thread lock.

EDIT: Lock'd! (And first use of my mod powers'd!)
