Yeah, I pinched every little bit of file size I could to make my avatar fit to 2010’s limit. Lots of dropped frames from the original file to make it look this good.

I no longer have Photoshop, but I think I still have the original frames and large file avatar somewhere. It’d be like a 4K restoration if I find the OG stuff.

It only makes a difference for animated gifs. And for that it barely makes a difference. Like you can have 9 high quality frames instead of 6. If you really want to make a difference, they should allow .webm's.

forget .webm, they should let us upload .WAD avatars and we should be able to include the entire morbius movie in them

The average HDD size was about 20GB in the year 2000. Now in 2023 standard storage size in new computers is typically 2TB, a 100x increase. Therefore the max avatar size should now be 150MB.

e: sorry I'm dumb, 100x is only 15MB but still the point is that 250KB is way too stingy!

If we could do it with Bee Movie at 150kb then yes, for sure

Okay, it took me quite a bit of work but I managed to fit the entirety of Jerry Seinfeld's Bee Movie onto one 150kb gif at avatar size.

YOU'RE WELCOME
