Support NeoGAF

[devenger]

I'll just wait awhile. I went with an extremely minimalist avatar anyway.

 

[neclas]

So, server load is....5-7x higher...with avatars hosted internally now, even with a caching system in place. We're investigating solutions. Worst case, it's back to external, but hopefully that can be avoided. Bear with the slow page loads for now.

I really like viewing the forums without avatars (coincidentally, doing my miniscule part to reduce the load).

ARRGHG DAMMIT NEOGAF I UNDERSTAND BUT MAN THIS IS THE WRONG TIME TO BE SLOW AS FUCK!!! SHIT IS BEING GIVEN AWAY!!! ARGRGRHR

 

[Snuggles]

I want my money back.

Static avatars are a done deal regardless.

Like +1

Don't care where images are sourced from, but I'm glad they agifs aren't coming back! For the very few classics there were 100 of incredibly annoying ones.

Can you make it so web browsers don't reload avatars from the server every time? Seems that it is doing so right now.

Edit: Oh no, the avatars are gone. It is like someone turned out the lights

 

[G-Fex]

did you just disable all avatars?

 

[DoomGyver]

No avatar gaf loads fast.

 

[Schmattakopf]

Bah, who needs 'em?

Especially if it means GAF will load faster.

 

[revolverjgw]

WHAT HAPPEN

 

[Max Armstrong]

I can't recognize anybody!

 

[Enosh]

kinda strange to look at gaf like this, I actualy have look at the nick names of people to know who wrote what and I don't know any of them ^^

 

[Az]

who are you guys i can't recognize anyone ...

*runs away screaming*

 

[X26]

It's like I'm reading in code, what is this!?

 

[Snuggles]

who am I

what is happening

I don't understand

 

[Stahsky]

I thought it was on my end for a bit there. Hope you work it all out.

 

[BackwardsSuggestions]

Scary GAF...

 

[lowrider007]

ooooooooooooo

<rattles chains>

I'm guessing server load issues.

 

[Nemo]

It's like a desert of words now

I like it

Search still coming back tho right? D:

 

[Neki]

I thought it was my internet, turns out it was GAF lol. No avatar GAF is best GAF, amirite?

 

[parrotbeak]

I just noticed how weird all the usernames are.

 

[SciencePilot]

GAF was dying. Slowdown and all that stuff.

Suddenly GAF is faster again. But something was missing...

 

[MThanded]

hmmm

 

[Pachael]

I thought it was on my end for a bit there. Hope you work it all out.

Ditto. Edit: Goofed :/

 

[Snaku]

Hah, now we go by who has a tag, and who doesn't. Pretty soon we won't even have that.

 

[Max Armstrong]

I feel nude.

 

[FOOTE]

I'm frightened.

 

[X26]

Could just be an open beta for a SFW version of GAF, right

 

[rem]

make it stop!

 

[ZoddGutts]

Pony animated avatars died for this?

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

I just noticed how weird all the usernames are.

Yeah sure thing "parrotbeak"

 

[Drkirby]

Ditto. Thought it was Adblock going all nuts on the avatars.

Are you implying you use Adblock on Gaf !!1

 

[G-Fex]

I don't understand

[Slurmer]

[I NEED SCISSORS]

I see all the avatars just died...

Radio... what's going on with that radio...

 

[smurfx]

so go back to external based avatars then? don't like non avatar gaf.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

Who are all these people?

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Without Pony avatars how am I meant to tell if somebody is a dude or an 8 year old girl?

 

[mavs]

Damn, this forum is fast now.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

This is weird, I'm used to recognising posters by their avatars rather than their names.

 

[Stahsky]

It's so true. I know your tag, but I don't think I've ever even looked at your username. Sorry =(

 

[exarkun]

I don't get this. Either a bad usage of the term static or you're saying only static images. Can't tell.

 

[Fuzzy]

Fucking Nintendo thread.

 

[Drkirby]

oh god where am i??? what year is it!??!

Why it is 1987, you are dialed into the PaleoGaf BBS system baby! With state of the art multi-modem configuration to allow up to 8 people to connect simultaneously!
