Potential donator perk?

[digital.aaron]

How about animated gif avatars, or just larger avatar file size limits for donators?

 

[Redwood Chair]

How about crippled up scroll for the mac users and lockup for the 56K people?

 

[digital.aaron]

You could have the option of turning off animated avatars in your own browser. The people using real computers on a real internet connection could turn the animated avatars on, and everybody would be happy. Plus, you could make it like a second tier donation type of thing, and you'd probably have just a small handful of people with the privilege.

It still happens.

One of our moderators is on 56K.

It's not 1999 folks, I'm with Aaron. Why pander to the lowest denominator?

FWIW my work internet is pretty much 56k.

Then again the extra server load would probably make it catch fire so...

Get yer facts straight there Ken. 19.2K on a sunny day. Significantly slower when things get wet.

Isn't that what modifying old volvos is all about?

And how could one possibly ever before discuss critical things about modding engines and suspension and clutches and brakes without having some little cartoon thing next to your name?
That'd be like going to your Frat Party without you "Hello May name is____________ badge"!!
The horror!

 

[JohnMc]

Yeah, I have sigs and avatars turned off, so I miss out on most of that bit of added 'personality'.

I was just punning though, I have an animated avatar. That I never see.

This is true. The ability is there, but the size limits are discriminatory against twerking unicorns.

Typical tbricks you guys want to get fancy before the software and new server is sorted.

It's like something on the order of dropping an LS1 in there on rotted out motor mounts and suspension bushings.



Typical...
