I like it as it is, these huge gifs won't load for me, freeze my browser and require multipul refeshes to get everything to load...I can't say I'v ever seen anything that was over 500k that was any funnier than anything that was under it.
The thing that anoys me the most is (I don't mind any one going 100k over if really needed) when people post 2 megs worth without even trying and it is quite possible to get it below the 400k advice limit

The limit's probably a little meaningless anyway - my computer's a bit ancient and poo but it does grind to a near halt on a Flanbase/ dancing animals/ strike up the band night, when there's about fifteen meg worth of gif animations all trying to simultaneously load and play in the same thread, all of which when taken individually are faq compliant

my 'puter isn't ancientbut still struggles on a normal night when the big ones are up; my broadband isn't great & significantly limits it

I don't mind those multi dance threads to much, because they stick to the rules...And the people posting in them love them from time to time,
BUT, I must addmit it's easy to recognise them, and I now deploy the hide button, nothing against people doing them or enjoying them, jusy my PC won't cope.
But when you get a single 2 meg gif like ealier today, it interfers with the entire board loading for me, and untill you'v actually managed to load the entire board completely, you have no idea which picture is causing the problem, but by the time you managed to load it, there is no point in hidding it because it has cached and causes no more problems...

But think of the divine glory that is finally revealed on those occasions.No-one can put a price on 1gb of capering gif shenanigans that excite the eye and stir the limbs.
