maybe you don't have this bandwidth cap in your country when availing internet in some of your local networks like we have this for example 25mb only for 24hours.
edited: and what do you think about this one, 100kb for avatar and 50kb for signature? balance? supposedly 100kb is more prior for signature.

Also, regarding bandwidth. ALL BROWSERS have caching. You are not loading the images every time. Someone using a browser that doesn't use chaching is a fool! If you are browsing the forum a lot you are loading more document then images, and chances are you're browsing the same pages over and over (specifically series and discussions you like) so I doubt loading avatars is as big of an issue as people make it. It would have to be the first time seing everything on the page, and even then, it wouldn't matter since really you're not seing much. Heck modern connections load 1mb files like it's nothing, and here we are going all protective over 50kb protecting "those people who can't speak for themselvs (for years!)" who get internet though their sewer pipes and watch movies on floppy disks (sarcasm). For god sake, modern hardware barely even support the type of technology your defending anymore, and even 3rd world countries don't use that TYPE of technology anymore. Just get god damn better internet, you're being scammed if you're using that crap!

The heart of the subject at the moment is: EVERYONE here agrees it's bad
You're the one who has to come and tell us WHY we need to pay tribute to some imaginary 1kb/s royalty that never shows its face by giving them veto/priority rights on the issue over and over and over (since god knows this is not the first time this discussion was dereiled into their defense). Why should all the people posting in the thread not matter, but the royalty and their spoke person should! Since that's what your argument boils down to: everyone here should be ignored, because there is XXX And if you got an actual answer to how "those" people even belong to this forum yet have a computer that runs on burning wood and internet connection so shady that it couldn't even handle browsing images, I sure as hell would like to hear it! Do connections that bad even run crappy streams anymore?
