This is not the case. Given the overhead involved in processing a code-generated web page and serving image assets like avatars, websites today cache and reuse what they can. Your web browser rarely makes the servers go back to the actual database to get an avatar. The purpose of the dateline is to ensure that when a new avatar is uploaded distributed content services and web browser caches don't keep using the old one, because the URL has changed.

Too many secrets! If someone quoted your avatar (presumably in the ritual to vote for your post to be your tag) and it showed your old avatar for a little while than it's poor caching behavior or bandwidth saving or something? (this was in chrome)

If the link is the same some browsers will attempt to load the cached avatar instead so the quoted avatar will appear unless the browser tries to update the cache. The picture on the server side has changed however.

I thought about that, but stuck with the one I've actually watched.
Well Gunbuster's name and first half are kind of Aim for the Ace homages so it fits either way!

And no, I had not seen that video yet. Ha! Well played.
Garzey's Wing is quite inspiring for motors and mowers of all kinds.
I've meant to make it since I first saw that scene on Garzey's Wing. Fits quite perfectly!

Would probably be better if it were all action instead of just three "moe" robots trying to explore what it means to laugh. Really atrocious ground textures and explosions seemed kind of charming in their own way, really mixed feelings on the visual direction using this style for the mecha fights briefly shown.

Wow this look more terrible than stuff that wonzo mention.

Well, this was not as good as the previous two episodes by a long ways. To put it short, it's a "Takane Stalker" special episode with the man starting the train looking like an old orphan from Oliver Twist who has
a black-belt in judo
. BGBW would be proud.
I got a black-belt in M&S.

Link was different, but only the dateline.

Code:
Current:

First one:

Now that I'm revisiting old threads (after a few days and closed browsers) it's more obviously behaving in line with Hitokage's assessment of the situation. Next time I change avatars I'll see if I can get a screenshot of capturing both the new and older one on the same page.

Like I said, these days caching isn't just done on the browser end, but on the server end as well. Pulling an image from storage then sending it out into the internet every time an image is to be displayed takes processing power and bandwidth. With the use of a Content Delivery Network or similar system, you can cut down on both because requests for the image get redirected to the CDN service which then just offers its cached version to you. The request to the database doesn't get made so resources are freed up for other things, and the original host isn't using its own bandwidth to offer the data. Changing the URL on new uploads neatly solves the problem of knowing when to look back to see if the cached version still represents the original image stored in the database. You don't have to check, because any change in the image will discontinue the original location.

In fact, even page processing is cached on this forum, although this is more apparent to people who are not logged in.

Trust me, I've been privy to the inner workings of this site. ;)

Thoraxes, bro? Are you still here?
You need to give the link to the true end of AnoHana to Mitsuho.

I think hes rather busy doing artistically important things such as COMPOSING MUSIC PROFESSIONALLY CAUSE HE IS AWESOME.

Yep! Was kinda busy recently, but now I basically have a 4-day weekend coming up (I think). First due dates are on next Tuesday so i've just been double-checking and finishing tooooooons of parts (this is why composers with a lot of money pay people to do it for them instead).

It's animated using Miku Miku Dance, so a certain amount of hilarious jank is to be expected. I suspect it's a large part of the point - it's from those behind gdgd Fairies, which had a similar lo-fi, esoteric comedy approach.

To be honest, the main problem with Straight Title Robot Anime is that Fireball exists and captured a similar feeling in far cleverer fashion which also being briefer and sporting far better animation. Straight Title had a few decent gags - though I admit I found the laboured explanation of why the gags were funny more amusing than the jokes themselves - but they're stretched a little too thinly across the episode.

the only reason im happy today is that JoJo is killin it in the Oricon rankings. Maybe Japan has seen enough covered up dfc to last them 3 life times?

? Arent Toonami anime getting at least a million viewers some week?

We're talking about Japan, though, where Jojo is on sale.

"Don't Watch Anime" is maybe a little strong unless you discount Sazae-san, and the likes of One Piece and Conan, but the fact is that, despite the ongoing cult popularity of the manga in Japan, the Jojo anime isn't exactly airing during Normal Person Hours.

Normal people don't sit at home and look at porn on the Internet.

thats not what studies for the last 20 years have been saying... and if recent investgations about the SEC (the banking regulators) are any indication, not just at home too)

Gundam Age won. ;_;7

He was so young :(
Fucking gundam.

So... Hyouka won the anime of the year...

Well even though I wasn't hugely fond of it, it did deserve it.
It just needed more Kazzy.

Disappointed her floaters aren't also shaped like mochi.

Oh my...
also green tea mochi is god tier.

Even the super-popular electro-pop band Perfume likes JoJo.

Whats wrong with the character designs, did the writer lose his touch for steel ball run, they dont look so good? I thought each gen would be an large improvement just like second has been to the first.
