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?

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.

Its funny
because I optimise all my jpegs and pngs. Even thinking about efficient packet loading.
