Avatars disappearing during peak times

[Apocalypse]

I was wondering if we could somehow turn the avatars off at an even lower traffic time, and then allow slightly high traffic before we get the forum busy message.

And again, I think turning off smiles during peak time would be good too.

From what has been said before, smilies impact is neglectable.

we get the forum busy message.

It's getting worse I feel.

[Apocalypse]

Well, I don't really like smilies anyway.

It would probably save more bandwidth just disabling all your group icons

[Apocalypse]

As I said before, I'm willing to trade my group icons for smilies being disabled.

[Kuciwalker]

No, disabling smileys would not really do anything. Most of 'em should be cached anyway.

[Apocalypse]

You just like excessivily using the dance smiley, Kuci.

[Kuciwalker]

Not really.

[Apocalypse]

You seem to use it at least once a day. The smilies aren't even very good quality and generally ruining the atmosphere kinda. And the lack of smiles gives a nice nostalgia.

You seem to use it at least once a day.

You're perception clearly does not match reality...

Unless you're including Eventis, too?

[Apocalypse]

I don't know what this Eventis you speak of is. Every time someone is accused of being a DL, or even just has a settler rating, you seem to be there with the dance smiley.

[Kuciwalker]

So does EVERYONE. It's called the DL dance.

[Apocalypse]

I know. But you're always invovled.

[Kuciwalker]

So?

[Apocalypse]

You're a major culprit and shouldn't just be randomly complaining when you're part of the problem.
