Standard 50x50 avatars and sigs for everyone because of glorious communist BL.
Should we throw in "No SQL dump" and "one day we'll close the site with only 24 hours of warning that'll actually become 12?"Quote:

Not really? Greater filesize allowance means more dumb avatars like Kyokushi's, which irritate me. Therefore my support is conditional on that not happening.Quote:

Point. Tech changes have ~20% chance of breaking BL, it seems.Quote:

I say meh.
being the indecisive person I am I can see how a profusion of silly gif avatars could get annoying. Yet I am one those who uses them and wrestles with bring them under the size limit.
Are there any technical problems or considerations with raising the file sizes?
Yes. Resizing an image can be extremely annoying when you just want it to work the first time you upload it.
Silly gifs already work if you just resize them a little so this really can't be part of the argument here.
Seeing that people have huge, sometimes animated losless sig images and I always have to make my avatars like 195x197 or some dumb shit to fit them in I say yes.
I'm posting here only to say I don't really care either way.
My opinion is important, shut up.
amen. Animated avatars, and sigs for that matter, are the worst. People who use them are also the worse. Phone lagging bastards.Quote:

Is that really an argument though (since resizing a gif is as hard as resizing any other picture if you have Gimp or Photoshop) or are you just trying to keep me from having my perfect, non-OCD insulting 200x200 avatars?
I bet you're the kind of person that gets a bathroom with an uneven number of tiles. Despite that being WRONG.
Good to know. I shall strive to maintain my reputation.
This is the thing, though. Many, many people don't have them and don't bother to get them just for possibly managing to get a gif avatar. I suspect lots of people use Paint for doing their own avatars, if they do them at all.Quote:
