# I was tempted to childishly make this 2 meg but....

Dear Mods, there is a 2 meg pea on the front page. We're not saying it's not funny or worthy of the front page, but what the fuck are the fucking rules on fucking file fucking sizes?
Some of us bend over backward and fuck up our anims to keep them under 400k like you ask, but this and a few other recent things kind of suggest anything goes.
I appreciate you don't want to be nazi-ish with file size monitoring, but if everyone else is doing it, can we too?

I can spare the bandwidth, maybe most others can but some might have a limited bandwidth allowance. But the main point here is what are the rules on optimisation are the gloves off and we who do make animation regularly can we start posting 1 to 2 meg animations too?

# I like it as it is, these huge gifs won't load for me, freeze my browser and require multipul refeshes to get everything to load...
I can't say I'v ever seen anything that was over 500k that was any funnier than anything that was under it.

The thing that anoys me the most is (I don't mind any one going 100k over if really needed) when people post 2 megs worth without even trying and it is quite possible to get it below the 400k advice limit

The limit's probably a little meaningless anyway - my computer's a bit ancient and poo but it does grind to a near halt on a Flanbase/ dancing animals/ strike up the band night, when there's about fifteen meg worth of gif animations all trying to simultaneously load and play in the same thread, all of which when taken individually are faq compliant

# I don't mind those multi dance threads to much, because they stick to the rules...
And the people posting in them love them from time to time,

BUT, I must addmit it's easy to recognise them, and I now deploy the hide button, nothing against people doing them or enjoying them, jusy my PC won't cope.

But when you get a single 2 meg gif like ealier today, it interfers with the entire board loading for me, and untill you'v actually managed to load the entire board completely, you have no idea which picture is causing the problem, but by the time you managed to load it, there is no point in hidding it because it has cached and causes no more problems...

# It's all about twos, lots of them
Your computer counts bytes in powers of two: 1 KiB = 1024 bytes because 1024 = 210.

People (and sneaky HDD makers) count in powers of ten: 1 KB* = 103.

Don't worry about the 0.3... thing, most people have trouble with that. My solution is to just not think too hard about it.

*I don't know why they use a capital k, it flies in the face of normal SI prefixes, but the i in KiB is there so you know which base (2 or 10) you're dealing with.

I think being FP'ed is a big stamp of approval, and if they're going to stamp a big stamp of approval stamp on things that stamped should be not, then stamping of feet, stamping and stamp stamp stamp. 1st class.

I pretty much work on dial up though it's called broadband. Reason as I live in a fairly rural area and I have no guaranteed speed or service and have to share with a whole block of people. Most evenings it chugs.

Keeping file sizes down is just good etiquette anywhere as it's easy and saves storage space and download speeds. If the post is funny or well done then a bit of optimization will not harm it.
