# Sorry.
Times like this board nazis can fuck off, the post is utterly brilliant. Yeah it's a big file, this is 2007, get a decent internet connection/job.

Woo!

# Alternatively,
you could fuck off.

People might be looking at this on their internet phones. This is 2007, get some up to date technology.

# Thank you, I forgot about that.
I often browse b3ta on my XDA and it's costly enough.

# I've got a 10MB cable connection thanks
and made no reference to the file size. However seeing as you want to direct the nazi comment I shall say this. I don't make the b3ta faq, I do however read it and know not to piss people off by flaunting it. The other thing I will say is that taking a video clip from a silent comedy movie and making it loop is no kind of talent. Even if it were some kind of talent it's not the OP's because it's not his.

Edit: get a decent job? I retired 7 years ago and could probably buy your fucking council estate.

# Connection speed isn't the problem.
Monthly transfer limits + b3ta is risky business at the best of times.

# Fuck you and pay for my internet bandwidth then you fucking prick
or are you a fucking student living off mummy

Can you imagine the board with 2mb fucking posts everywhere and the assortment of similar reposts?

A harsh place board would be

Twat

# Nah
If you join a graphics-based website then get to grips with the foundations; ie: it's not going to work if everyone throws out 'save for web at maximum' or 2mb gifs in this context. The board would grind to a hault, even for most users on broadband, or become pointlessly expensive to simply have a b3ta laugh. That was funny but pointlessly large, the remark about being a board nazi was fucking daft

# i would also add
that if your animation is reaching megabytes in size, then it's probably just too big and long to really suit the animated gif format anyway.

You should probably think about making it a flash animation, or uploading to youtube or something.

# All of the above
but with added extra large feck off.

I have a 4mb connection but unfortunately it's restricted to 3gb per month. That is not a lot.

And I don't have a choice.

The guidelines exist for a reason whether you like them or not agree with them or not is not the issue.

As far as getting a job? Pfff. Pasanonic summed it up nicely.

We are not all penniless students.

# one 2mb post you might get away with
imagine if every post was as bloated as that
even with decent broadband, it'd be like trying to read b3ta back on dialup again. it was that whole 'not worth the wait' shit that put me off the site for ages

# Its a very large filesize, that's generally frowned upon here
Have another read of the faq and have a look at Lemonys optimisation guide to see where you went wrong.

Don't be disheartened, we all make mistakes.

# You posted a 2MB picture
when we really try to keep them no bigger than 250KB.

It's a bit of a faux pas and the people on b3ta like nothing better than shouting at faux pas.

[edit] I always have to wonder about people who post a picture to complain about a picture that is too big. They clearly just enjoy moaning without really understanding the reasons they are doing it.

# It's a cue to throw a bit of humour into the situation.
methinks.

# It does make me laugh
but maybe not in the way intended.

I just find it amusing when somebody posts a 200KB animated gif to complain about a picture that strayed a few KB over the limit.

Way to reduce the download burden for everyone.

# also you never made the image
the board is for original content only, not stuff you found.
better luck next time

# also, did you actually make it yourself?
if you did, it's very good but insanely big.
if you didn't, this board is for stuff you make yourself
