Why are they disabled? They made a brief return about an hour or two ago. Couldn't have lasted for more than a minute or two.
 
Wait, so it's not just me? Kinda good to know, I guess. I haven't been on GAF much today & haven't been keeping up on the new avatar system/rules.
 
Feels like I'm browsing Team Liquid.

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.
uh oh...

We're going to keep trying to figure out a way to optimize the internal avatar system so that I don't look extraordinarily silly for changing us over from the external urls. ;b
Too late!

New Nintendo system.

Thousands go to the Gaming thread.

NeoGAF gets hammered with hits.

So Evilore dumps anything that isn't needed to keep the site floating, it seems.

It was a psychological test masked as a server load test, due to breaking Nintendo/NPD news. I suspect we shall experience this again around E3.

Assumed as much. Makes you wonder if the extra load on the servers is worth the ability for mods/admins to keep a tighter noose on avatars.
 
EviLore looking real pasta noodles right now. Neo***a you looking real shampoo blooded right now. namsayin?

Just wait until E3 in June! That's when they'll be dumping names and tags too!

That's true, isn't? We just have one thread for all of OT! I remember now!

One thread? Three days of pony-GAF and anti-pony-GAF at each others throats :P
Season will be over, pony-GAF will certainly be less active then.
