i'm not gonna say "bragfest !!!" cause i kinda understand;)

nice that we have our own server! kudos to the payers

first off, you know me better. second, i did optimize it, i grabbed the wrong one in the folder somehow and never checked. thirdly, i do not say a word if its under 100k in spite of the fact that 85 is more than ample.

now dammit people there is a hell of a difference between 100 and 150 and even more when you consider that 85 is my target goal.

*sighs*

you are turning me into the bad person, when in fact its the other way around.. why is it always like that

it gonna reach a point where i forget friend from foe, and just go off on someone. i pity that person when i happens. :/

[edit] if i post one over sized, by all means point it out. accidents happen. the difference is, i go back and fix the oversight.

no one is above my own rules, and i am gonna burn someone soon.

dammit, don't apologize. defend yourself.

this is my crusade. no one else cares as much so i don't truly expect miracles.

at the end of the day, i would feel better if you didn't back off so easy. even if you're wrong.

/me goes back to bed.. i was mad because my critique was overlooked, and this was the icing on the cake.

from a friend too.

actually no, but you didn't expect that did you?

occasionally, i am forced to use my parents 56k. it connects at 2.4

you do the math.

now consider, its not a link to a pic, this is a forum thread, it contains many many shots. this "page" will take a long time to load for a 56k person, why compound it?

forget the fact that YOU loaded a 150k image and consider you added to a page that could have a total quite massive.

if you are expecting me to give up. forget it. i was on 56k way to long, suffered way to much to do it. the good news is, i have broadband now and can bitch really fast.

/ rant

consider this. i believe in this so strongly, i have seriously revamped my critiquing system. my old way was way to demanding on anyone with 56k.

my new way takes me far longer, but the results are so that anyone, ANYONE can view it.

i do my damnedest to set a proper example. go look at my newest critique. you will see what i mean.

it now takes me about 1 hour to do a full critique. considering, dloading the map, walking around and jotting notes, optimizing the shots, uploading them and entering the text. i have essentially added about 20 minutes or more to the way i did yours..

now. who do you think puts in the most effort for the 56k members? :/

when you said "practice what you preach" it hurt way more than you know.

forget it.

sometimes a joke can go astray. but i do not only practice what i preach, i improve on the concept when ever and where ever i can.

i like the looks of the new critiques, but i have to admit that they are a pain now. i am not as keen on doing them for the effort it now takes.

perhaps its only the "new" method. i need some practice to get faster.

at the end of the day, sometimes a joke about someones passion, is not the best idea.

at the end of the next day, i usually realize that i did just that, and prolly offended some poor asswipe myself.

did you have some doubt?
