# 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.

# Rob doesn't want a website where the page loads so slowly you should get up and make a cup of tea whilst it's loading
Nor do most of us

# neither do i
when that happens it's time to upgrade something

# 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.
