why has it gone down to 50kb from 250Kb?
how does everyone know that a file is over this amount anyway? Do you all check the filesize of images, you oddballs?

# I used to come here on a dialup many moons ago
are there many that still use them? and is there a big 'thing' about making modem friendly images because it is good practice?

Or is it just something for bored people to twat on about to new board members?

# how ironic.
that now that you have broadband, you have a limit placed on how much you can come to b3ta, before facing a cost?

Whereas when we were all on modems, we were happy to pay money just to be able to come here at all.

# still, that's 4000-8000 250Kb images a month.
if you're looking at b3ta THAT much, you're on the wrong flipping broadband package.

rules is rules, and that's fine - using download caps as an excuse is a bit thin considering you're browsing what is essentially a relatively high bandwidth site.

# not me guv, I got huge allowances with plusnet...
however, Flowerpot, for instance, is out in south africa, gets 1gb per month transfer allowances and has to pay a small fortune for the privelege

add up toal usage for b3ta and all other sites that one may visit in the course of a normal
day,
plus any downloading, it soon adds up

(I helped save b3ta! Cashy, Wed 31 May 2006, 18:48, archived)
# well that's the risk you run.
Proactive steps to bandwidth harmony:
Switch off images from places like MSN where it's more likely a new member may host images.
Switch off BMP downloads
Get a compression proxy (Like ONSPEED for £25) - compresses web pages and images (although images get quite artefacted)

# a better excuse is the good practice of reasonable-sized pics
After all, there has to be a limit somewhere. However, I reckon this should be a little less rigorously enforced. But the nazis will have their way no doubt.

# yeah.
I once browsed b3ta image board on my phone using Opera Mini.
Not wanting to be o2's mobile phone bill bitch, I switched images off.

It was like looking at the /talk board, only it made sense.

# Peronally...
...although I like to see pictures well optimised, I don't see the problem with a 60KB image here and there.

The 50KB mentioned in the FAQ is really a guide, not an absolute limit. No mod is going to link a picture for being 60KB. A guide of 200KB for animations is a resonable target size I think, with 250KB being a cut off point.

If your animation is too big or complex to fit into 250KB, it's probably better off being kept as a movie file/flash animation and linked to.

The majority of the board may have broadband, but if image size imits were taken away and everybody posted 1MB gifs (with a dozen 500KB woo yay reply animations for each) it would make even the faster broadband connections creak and groan like dial-up.
