# That's excellent :)
but it's a tad larger than the requested file size for an animation here.
If possible, could you optimise it a tad for us, and get it nearer to 250k?
If you're not sure how to do that, reply to me here in this thread and let us know what program you're using and one of the brighter sparks here can probably help you.

edit: here, try using this one, a few scanlines do the trick...
Linked scanline version
Feel free to use it if you want :)

# btw this looks SHIT and his looks really good quality
so why not look at good quality gifs and up the suggested file size? i am not attacking you personally, just voicing my opinion

# he could always link to his original version without the scanlines
there's several options

# Bob is right, and I wasn't being a 'nazi' about the file size, they are only suggested guidelines
those days are long gone. (for me at least)
I thought a little friendly help would be better, as there's been far too much bloody board nazi stuff going on of late, particularly at times that Cockweasle mentions above. :(

# nah you were being quite helpful
but some people seem to carry on like a toddler with a turd in their pants:

Edit: I've optimised evilscary's fail pic down to half it's filesize, with absolutely no aliasing/artifacts/loss of quality. People's lack of logic bothers me sometimes.

# ah yes, that was one of the cases I was thinking of :)
There's no need for it, no wonder some of the 'old timers' don't post much anymore,
and that some of the really talented newcomers don't stick for long. Tis a pity

# there was similarly no need for yan's tantrum
when someone else was fairly polite about a large image. although I did kindof agree with his sentiment he just didn't pick a good post to flounce on.

And yes tis a pity people get annoyed and leave. Means we're stuck with gits like me.

# Wow,
that brings his image to a total of 560k.
Good work.

# I was just suggesting an alternative that he could use
maybe linking to the original.
and I was being friendly about it.
If he did want to use it, I would delete the one above.
How far can you see up on that high horse?

# it just
people are always complaining about filesize suggesting people go and and make the file smaller, which means a new image to download and therefore actually increasing the size.
you could have linked to your version, too.
though, I didn't mean to offend.

# no worries, I have linked now for anyone just coming on /board, point taken :)
as said above, just thought trying to help would be a better course of action.

# I agree
I think b3ta is mostly a nice place, with the odd exception.
