that's an interesting thing innitdoes anyone care about things like file size any more? I haven't worried about it except for large video files in the tens of megs for a couple of years. everything else just works these days.
When we used to talk about 60k being good for the board, it was because people still used dialup connections in those days. Personally, I don't see the point in scan lines and crappy quality when it makes no difference to how the internet works any more.
Or are there still people out there who exerience everything seizing up when a 358k gif is on the board? Maybe I'm living in a little fantasy bubble where everyone is on broadband like me and the people I knock about with, but infact for loads of people the net is still painfully slow.

There is still at least 1 person on b3ta with dialup.And apparently some of the people in foreign lands don't have particularly good speeds.

Ahah, yesI guess there are probably people elsewhere without speedy internets. Maybe I should be more considerate again.

I think it's safe to say that if you don't,people will dispatch hit squads.

Ordinarily I would agree with youAt home.
however I am at work. Where there are currently 100 users in my building, all connecting up to another 200 users in Derby. Bandwidth is precious.
The other ntoe on that is - the more bandwidth used by a particular URL, the more attention it brings. I know I can safely go on b3ta because, at present, the filesizes dont show up on the radar.

I think it's more about monthly bandwidth limitsFlowerpot in Capetown keeps saying about how large file sizes are crippling her account.

I don't think it matters thatmost people don't care. It is still unfair to ignore the guidelines whilst they still exist ( When I'm surfing b3ta on my xda I'm quite happy about the guidelines ). I'd prefer them to be changed ( not removed completely ) but I don't have the ear of the guys at the top. perhaps if you mentioned it though?

don't be a cockif you want to post a better quality one, provide a link to it. i know plenty of people on here with capped internet and they would soon have to pay a lot of money for their service if the board was filled with cdc animations of 350k+
