How does alish2o have a 375K avatar?

[reapersaurus]

Sorry if this has been covered already...

I don't know who he is.
I see he's a Community Supporter.

375K animated gif seems a bit excessive... ? It's cool as heck and all, but how does it work with dial-up members?

edit:
oh - here's the avatar:

I am dial-up at home. So long as the image is still cached, it isn't too bad. But, the initial load is not pretty.

But, that isn't the only graphic that causes slow load times on the board when I am at home. If it really bothered me, I _could_ turn off avatars in the Control Panel I guess. Of course, then I would miss out on all avatars. I could also speed up load times by turning off signatures, and images in posts.

I kind of want to request it be changed to something...smaller. Even on my DSL, it slows the page drastically.

The answer is simple, the admins like Clay better then everyone else

And how does one not know who Clay is? His exploits with PC have made him very famous.

 

[Piratecat]

It'll certainly be gone before very long. Oh, yes. I apologize for any lag!

 

[Tewligan]

Oh, dear. I suspect that the malicious twinkle in PirateCat's one good eye means he'll be playing havoc with Clay's avatar and title again...

Don't you mean that some users are more equal than others?

No, some are liked better. It might not be PC (politally correct) but it's human nature. Some people are going to like certain people more then the others. Clay is a great guy, so I don't mind that he gets advantages over the rest of us. He deserves them, he's better then the rest of you

 

[Piratecat]

I prefer to think of it as a sort of mutual hazing. Nevertheless, torturing someone with an unwanted avater shouldn't inconvenience other members, so I've changed it. I hadn't realized the sucker was so large.

Hey Piratecat,

After all the grief I've given you guys, how come you haven't given me an undesirable avatar? I'm feeling left out.
