# sure you can be a twat that way, it's up to you
I'm just trying to keep things running vaguely smoothly
plus I love compression, it gives me a massive hard on

# i've had me tea, might not be so twattish now.
but don't hold your breath

serious question: is anyone really still on dialup?

maybe b3ta is powered by dialup users, and that's why it's dying...

# Extremely unlikely given the nature of this site
But can you imagine what this place would be like if no one bothered to put any effort into being mindful of file sizes, especially given the amount of image replies that happen in threads?

I should imagine it would signal the Armageddon

# well, you have something of a point there,
if every still was 200KB, and anims were 1MB, page total 100MB, it may take a minute or more to load fully. so go take a dump, or put the kettle on, have a wank. it's just a few moments longer, not the end of the world.

or get cable. move house if you need to, it's worth it.

# It's worth remembering also, that Rob has to pay server fees too.
So if all the images were twice as big, I presume he would have to ask for donations to pay them twice as offten.

# What Jahled said
plus phone users
plus general politeness/why would any picture need to be much over 100k, it's b3ta, not Tate Modern.

# exactly
so chill the fuck out.

i've tried b3ta on mobile internet, and it sucks, so i'd rather wait until i get home. if you're willing to persevere with that, more fool you.

# genuine question
Did you deliberately save it above 100k?
I was just being polite and advising you on the rules that everyone else goes by, and which I thought you knew.

If it is so important that people see it with out a tiny bit of compression, post a small version with a link to a larger one like other people do.

# 100k is plenty
the Lady and the Tramp pic above is only 50k
This one I did www.b3tards.com/u/037e58b9e054b3c8dd7b/walle2_meat.jpg is 1000 pixels wide but only 80k.
Learn to use the compression tools in Photoshop or whatever package you use, or as I said, just make a thumbnail with link to bigger.

Now admittedly you are one of the most amusing of the current posters, but that's because we are laughing at you, not with you.

Or, to put it bluntly, fuck the fuck off.
