No I mean likeer... a diffuser.
Actually I mean someone who's established and respected here to just be a calming voice. Or maybe a bunch of people. My observation is that the board reacts pretty quickly to a change in temperature like that, it can become funny instead of angry, a bit lighter-hearted about the whole thing.
It's funny: there are at least 2 mods I can think of who are much more lenient about file sizes than the majority of users.

This is a genuine argumentfor some. Lovely people like Flowerpot in South Africa have archaic broadband caps and it's ( in my opinion of course ) a courtesy to thumbnail all your images and give the viewer a choice to then open up the big picture.
It drives me nuts because it takes very little effort to do and would end all conflict over what is acceptable.
For a self-confessed cunt I'm quite aware of what I put online for others to view. Some of my stuff is massive and I have to cap it to 400kb just to get it on Cr3 hosting. I have recent images near 6MB but a quick thumb to bigger sorts it out.

I know it's a genuine argumentbut the point that I don't understand is when people are happy with a 49kB image that with some optimisation could be 10kB and rant about a 60kB image and say: that's 10kB oversize.
My caps pretty harsh as well, I get 3 gig (between 3 people) a month and capped to fuck if we use more...

Fucking hellI used over 2 gig YESTERDAY. I can't see a single legitimate reason for capping. What am I missing? Is there a limited about of internet available in the UK or something? Also I don't know why UK consumers put up with it.

they can squeeze more customers inin the assumption that most people don't have their theoretical capacity running 24/7
so you can download your 3 emails each day at 8mb/s
and do nothing else that day!
that's called "anytime use" I think
and yes, it is yet another scam
(see my earlier posts for more whining on this subject)

It's not like thatbroadband, whatever the delivery is a pipe. A bit like water. there is only so much you can squeeze down the pipe at any one time and greed has over subscribed it. cable is the worst because they won't hit max in my lifetime and greed is making them find ways to maximise income. Copper DSL is fucked because they sold that shit when BT could barely manage the domestic phone data.
The law on selling and what you can say has just changed and also they ( the ISPs ) have been asked to stop selling BB on speeds they can never reach ( not obligatory ) but it will allow you to get out of a contract as most were mis-sold.

it's exactly like that, they have basically sold capacity that doesn't existthat's why they have the capping for the folk that use "too much", they just oversold it
most private individuals don't use their connection to whatever it's capability is unless they are p2p'ing continually
if the newspeak on the adverts has been killed then it's a start

we have different perspectives on thisas we have different systems. It is true for you ( your argument ) but not for me. I saw internal memos that stated NTL had the data capability and infrastructure to supply every hooked up subscriber with a minimum of 30MB BB before the merger with Telewest. As I said above, they will never reach capacity in my lifetime ( due to dark fibre installations ) but they will take my money for the highest speed yet give me the lowest speed they can get away with the moment I choose to use it. I was shifting 5GB a day with NTL, since the merger and rebrand I can't do that a week.

the funny thing about computing infrastructure is that to double it sometimes all it takes is an engineer to come out and press a button, this is after a huge invoice got paid.

to make people pay more for faster internetpure and simple. they get people on the el cheapo plan. that's really fast, they download alot and then find themselves capped for 20 days of the month. So the isp offers them the medium priced plan and the cycle continues.

I'm pretty lax over itbut if an image is over 100kb I will point it out. I'd like Bob to acknowledge that his 'plucked from the air' recommendation was at a time when a lot of people were still on dial-up and should now be altered but at the end of the day i'm an ex Staff-Sergeant and a little brainwashed when it comes to rules.

They are all little twatswith little hitler complexes who thing they can pick up on one piece of information and pretend they are mods or somehow important in the scheme of anything because they've no talent nor nothing better to do than get a little bonk on over bitching about someones filesize, infact I'm convinced they check the filesize before even looking at the picture.

I take issue with many peopleover their postings on b3ta. I don't think I'm a nazi or a noob basher. I'm equally as scathing with noobs and those I know are mods. I'm a bit of a faq hag but only because I think it's not hard to be courteous as a poster ( especially as given the b3ta hosting you need never post a too-large file again ).
I also think I do give helpful advice to those who genuinely make mistakes and are not aware of how to correct them with the tools they have.
I am a right cunt with those who are obviously trolling for bite.
Not my job as you point out but then again it's all our jobs to get b3ta fluffy for us all.

tho to be honest I should learn to draw properly before picking up on a style really, if you can't do the basics can't do cack all ultimately

I have thisgraphics.smithmicro.com/go/mangastudio
and it was the biggest waste of money ever. All it does is allow you to quickly draw 'speed' and 'motion' lines in your comic frames. I'm sure it is of use to those who are taking the piss out of teenagers with the same old shite ( same people making squirrel with tits crap ) but I certainly think it is crap for the casual illustrator.
( thanks for the recommendation, I have a punch for that guy )

that's just crap, innitit seems they are good at selling services but they simply have no intention of actually giving what is sold, redefining the meaning of words to remind the customers of their place is going to be the result
and have you seen the alleged broadband for mobile devices.. the pricing structures take the piss
and if you even get the top tier consumer ones you still get sod all transfer a month
I have no idea at what point you start getting completely unfucked service, but I doubt it'll be anything less than 5 figures a month

this is there wayand i just remembered the philipines free texting fuckup as well
some carrier introduced a new service with completely free texting and they went mental, sending millions of texts a day, they shitcanned the lot and changed it to "encourage responsible texting" what a load of crap
I'm surprised that things like skype are even allowed to exist, cable and wireless had voip made illegal in some carribean islands a while back because it dared to compete their complete monopoly on phone calls
I know it all costs money to run this stuff but it really does take the piss the way these companies sell something they simply don't have and then call the customers stupid for abusing the service by actually using it.
and yeah, I wouldn't expect 75 a month to be anything near unlimited for a mobile, add a few 0's onto the end and see at which point it can actually happen, no doubt a lot more than it would be personally worth for the convenience of it, and they'll still no doubt have a limit on it even then

I wouldn't be surprisedmy isp doesn't cap me "officially"
but they no longer offer the package I have to new customers (ie: specifically sold as uncapped)
and no doubt they reserve the right to take the piss
the problem is that so many people are getting broadband because it's been oversold as "use any time" (not actually meaning 'use any time', fucking neospeak) and people are using it 'any time'
so it's all turning to shit and they aren't making enough cash out of the idiots
who knows what's going to happen man, the major infrastructure is only going to get upgraded when it's close to the squeak of death and I can't imagine that'll be a cheap experience for anyone
