Yeah, i noted that, ghost.

@Ron

I understand your concern for 56k users/loading times. Thanks for looking out for those stuck in the dark ages of internet.

Firstly, most all 100x100 .JPGs should easily compress down (save), even at the best quality, to under 25 KB.
Actually, my current avatar is at quality 3 or 4 (the max is 10 on my version of PhotoShop), it is also less than 100x100. 25 KB might be sufficient for low quality jpeg/jpgs, but for an animated gif no way, unless it is crappy animation. I guess the issue here is the quality of the image we can upload compared to the best quality. Text becomes unreadable many times, plus text cannot be big to start with due to the 100x100 limit.


Enough of that though, I see I'm not going to convince anyone.

One thing I would like to convince people of, though, is a new set of preferably marijuana related smilies. This would be very easy to do, one could just modify the default ones or download a new set, as I am sure there has to be one somewhere.

Anyway yeah...
