{{iZerox|time=12:02, 14 February 2011 (EST)|sad=May I bring up a point that may not have been thought of yet? I quite often access the wiki at the local library, but the problem is the library '''blocks all images from sites like photobucket'''. For me personally this makes the move of all talk bubbles to photobucket quite frustrating as the local facilities here that I can use to access the wiki block photobucket and other similar image hosting sites. For me this change would make it harder to identify people as opposed to easier. I'm sure I'm not the only user who would ever have this situation either. | |||
I have a whopping 6 talk bubble images that are all in the same template and used for different emotions etc. I have no intention of making anymore either as I already have more than enough to do what I need to on the wiki. My talk bubble images reach a sum of only 120KB altogether, most of that being my Ansem image. Without that one (which I have no desire to delete the Ansem on as I actually use it) '''my talk bubble images are only 40KB in total'''. | |||
My images aren't duplicates of anyone's and are very unique in comparison to other users. They take very little space on the wiki and to say that I'm wasting server storage room is ridiculous because the file size is so minuscule. | |||
Don't misunderstand me, I fully understand the desire to not have 400 talk bubble images of the same render over and over again. And to remedy this you could just make a categorized page with images people can use so they can see if a bubble with that render already exists. But I am of the opinion that is to our advantage to have things hosted locally instead of externally, especially when the alternative is photobucket which can eventually and quite often does replace your image with a "Bandwidth Exceeded" message.}} | |||
