Welcome, I see a trend here... girls get more attention than males.... What happen to the time when males get 7+ Intro thread???

Anyways feel free to ask anyone about anything! especially the mods.

Where have you been?
I point that out in so many threads.
Every girl intro ever has gotten tons and tons of attention as everyone jumps in and tries to impress them with their e-antics.
It's...hilarious to watch.
Girl blogs are similar.

welcome. there aren't much trolls around here.
HERP DERP I'M RETARDED.
Show some restraint on the amount of images/videos you post. Posts or topics with many images are a strain on dial-up users, so please be courteous.
Actually un-played YouTube embeds use up less than 100 KB. Thats less total KB of your Avatar+Sig should be according to your rules. And posting multiple times on one page just multiplies that number. Unplayed Youtube Embeds use up a very small amount of information (as most flash engines often do). The big-chunk of Youtube embeds that take up the most information are the generated image previews.

Now... if you happen to press Play, the video will begin to load. Dial-up user or not, that's the VIEWER's consent. It is totally their choice to load up a 5, 10, 50, 100 MB video by pressing the play button. Looking over the data usage of un-played embeds, and focusing directly on my video posting habbits, my videos are usually almost all the time, under 10 seconds. The Dr. Spaceman clip in particular, is just a teeny bit over 200KB for default 360p. Of course... Youtube also auto-detects a person's bandwidth if their connection are slow, and will load 240p, which is even less. So if a dial-up user only loads less than 100KB for the embed, and if they intentionally play the video, its only a measly 200KB video load.

That said, you can just shove your dial-up excuse somewhere else. You can also shove any "mobile" excuses, as phones that are capable of loading flash in-browser are often 3G or 4G phones that at the very bare minimum get atleast 4x better than dial-up speeds, and usually no less than 1/3rd of DSL speeds.

Also... like I really care for the thoughts or feelings of dial-up users even if I was posting high quality 2-5MB images, or like I really care about your thoughts and feelings about their thoughts and feelings. I have no intention of being courteous, but regardless of how annoying you think videos are, using dial-up users as an excuse just doesn't really count for anything when un-played embeds take-up so little. Here's a fun fact... If I take a screenie of any one youtube embed and crop out the embed and save it as a BMP or PNG through MSPaint, that image will take up more space than a Youtube embed.

I actually gotten into this argument quite a few times with Gaia admins about Youtube embed size in signatures to the point where they just gave up and just used the "because I said so argument" because their "100kb, 500x500pixel" signature rules couldn't be applied to Youtube embeds that just idly set there.

Anyways. Your/their choice to play it.
hohoho!

like you said, it's up to us if we'll play it....if we don't, if we ignore the vid, that makes it an empty post doesn't it?
empty posts are considered spam right?

and my most important point is.....i'm too lazy to click that play button. :tpi:

...and turn on the volume/put on earphones.

First of all, welcome to GBAtemp, Rhainya.
We're glad to have you here.
Our group isn't always like this....but it's not exactly uncommon.

Next, there's an awful lot of off-topic conversation here.
Allow me to put that all to rest.
@[member='Majorami']
The video responses are flat-out annoying. Not only to me, but to many others.
(You should see just how many reports they generate)
I'll overlook them in the EoF. I'll even overlook them in introductions.
But if you keep on posting them outside those areas and we're going to have a problem.
We don't care how you want to justify the action,
or if you want to type up multi-thousand-word diatribes on how right you are.
This is how it's going to be.

If you want to go ahead and start your griping now, send it in a private message.
You, and the people responding to you, have taken enough attention away from our newcomer already.
