Well to abate sarcasm and stuff.

# We could point you at the FAQ
Hello new person. Please read our FAQ. Cheers.


Can I post this great link that I found?
We are always happy to see new and cool content on the links board, but it's best to make sure we haven't seen it already by using the search feature. It can be a bit annoying when dozens of people all post a link to the same site on the same day (it does happen). The search page can always be reached from the 'search' link at the top of any messageboard.

If you have found a picture you absolutely have to share with the board, please host it on your own webspace, or post it as a link. Posting an image hosted on somebody else's web space is not a very polite thing to do and we hate it when people do it to us.

Oh... and please never try to claim somebody else's work as your own. You will almost certainly be found out and end up looking very silly if you do.

# a) whoareweyouranimatingbitch?
b) FAQ about the fucking massive file size and posting other peoples stuff
and c) it's already been done repeatedly

please edit this to a link for the poor sods viewing on their phones and stuff, especially as it will just encourage people to repost lots of huge fail animations in a non ironic manner

# I think there is a much greater problem.
People looking at b3ta on their phones. If I looked at b3ta on my phone, I would rapidly accelerate the development of glaucoma. I will continue to support the destruction of smartphone user's online experience until I have enough income to afford an upgrade from my 10 year old sony ericsson. Thereafter, I reserve the right to be righteously miffed with 200k+ anims.

Edit: just checked the op... 2MB??? Sweet murderfudgery

It's that - along with the multi-combo of leeching the pic from somewhere else, not having dicked with it at all, and basically failing in a highly epic manner all round.

# It contains Holly Willoughby, so I was distracted for a while.
After I'd come, I realised it was 2MB. Please add my name to the list of signatories to this fail. I hope that by adding my name to the list, it will serve to further infuriate those who spend a lot of time and effort on a picture/anim, only to get a handful of comments. I can only imagine how it must feel for them to see a fucktard post a DVD-sized gif and receive a mountain of fanmail.

# Please take a ticket...
The board page is over 4MB without the anim.
Surely hatemail is more like what it was, but since the rapture never happened its not that bad in the grand scheme of things, although you would think that I just summoned the rapture all by myself.

# So, your idea to add 50% more page-weight, in one single animation
was all part of the plan?
(I helped save b3ta! J Peasemould Gruntfuttock Alpha Mike Foxtrot, Fri 27 May 2011, 14:32, archived)
# Nah
The 4MB is an observation, this page is hardly light, so all the whining about mobile phones and stuff, well it has merit but its hardly a 10 fold increase.

But still, I cocked up anyway for some reason.

# anyone looking at b3ta on a mobile phone
is asking for fucking enormous data charges and frankly deserves what they get. but there are people on capped broadband and b3ta alone can use up quite a bit of that.

plus i tend to feel it's just simple reasonable manners to optimise something as far as possible. alas, they raised the file-size "limit" from an arbitrary 50k to an equally arbitrary 100k, so everyone posts pictures that are a WHOLE 100k big!!!! there's no craftsmanship anymore.
(I helped save b3ta! boris the spider, Fri 27 May 2011, 15:01, archived)
# Its funny
because I optimise all my jpegs and pngs. Even thinking about efficient packet loading.
(beerMatt, Fri 27 May 2011, 15:05, archived)
# i'm lazy
i just throw them up at as near to 100k as i can be bothered to make them. and i'm too lazy to make animations. i've avoided flaming so far. i just tend to get ignored instead.

life is hard.
