Yeah, please reconsider on increasing the limit. It's a bit easier to change the size of the avatar by then. notworthy.gif

pffftthh..
human behaviour

as always
ppl keep wanting LYN to change to suit a particular person
and not the way around

same as the world we lived in
changing the world to whichever suits us
and not thinking the consequences

its just a $%^&* picture
get over it

Dude, the forum is there for us to use it.
It's not like a request that cannot be granted, it's just up to the admins.

get over it? lol

im just providing feedback. feedback which i dont think is really unreasonable. if the admins feel it will strain the server then fine, i dont really mind.

but, get over it? forgive me for CHANGING THE WORLD WITHOUT THINKING OF THE CONSEQUENCES LOL. hahaha!

chill man.

btw, can some /b/tard create a meme with the "CHANGING THE WORLD WITHOUT THINKING OF THE CONSEQUENCES " quote? i think it would be funny. haha!

i dunno bout you ppl here think the meaning for this forum
i rather go back to the essence

the thing i done so far:
1. get help from other others experience
2. share my experience with other
3. found some good offers of 2nd hand products and from bulks
4. found some experience dude to help me repair/mod my pstwo

but if i wanna put a certain picture and couldnt
i wouldnt go with complain
i go find a way or just use another pic.

and
why izzit that, according to RBR
previously there was no limits but changed to a limit 20kb
hmm.gif

well whats next?
change the size to 150X150 instead of 120X120
or a whole host of useless eyecandy add-ons

maybe after that ppl can gripe about hwo LYN took several seconds more to load
and demanded some explainations here for the slowness

or maybe ask for a server upgrade

but when that happen,
server will go down
and pppl gripe of the no service and ask for quick quick resolutions

the list will go on...

it just there are two main points to that will warrant a server upgrade

unavoidable increase of user plus more posting

and increase of better graphical interface, which is controllable/limit-able

and the logic here is....

Anyone for a wild guess at:

1) How many avatars are served a day here, and
2) What the average size of a LYN avatar is

if refering to the the bottom of the forum index
there are 4,350,726 post
discounting half of these post are in archive
leaves up with with 2,000,000
then discounting 30% is one time register - 1,400,000
another 50% for avatar-less - 700,000 post would carry a avatar at anytime
time that with max 20kb would be 14,000,000kb everyday
translate that to -->13,671MB or 13.35GB shocking.gif woot
my calculation would not be entirely correct
but still the numbers add up tongue.gif

if you resize the pic to 128*128 the file size usually is about 20kb

For the 24 hours on 26th Dec, 900000 avatars were served totalling 9GB. So that results in about 10KB per avatar on average. mcchin came pretty close and would've scored gold if he didn't assume that the average avatar is the maximum size smile.gif

There's isn't any compelling bad reason not to increase the avatar size, but neither is there any compelling good reason to support it. Considering that the limit is twice the average, I think it's already a decent allocation no?
