Avatar file size limit

Is now 100 kb.

This will remain as such barring the unlikely circumstance that we run out of disk space. We're sitting on about 60 gigs. If you fuckers fill up the harddrive with avatars I will personally see to it that your lives end in the most horrible and humiliating way possible, like atomic wedgie, or choking to death on your girlfriend's dad's dick or something.

I see nobody ran that one through the Krylo-izer.

Seriously, we haven't filled 60 GB with text yet? I'm kind of amazed.

Man I REALLY want to see a PR spin on that statement.

... Do you know how much text that would take?

TDK · 05-31-2010, 01:16 PM

It would be 60 billion characters, and with about 860,000 posts currently, assuming, perhaps rather generously, that each post is an average of 100 characters, that's 86 million bytes or 8.6 gigs...So tha'ts kinda far off, but that's not taking into account long posts (or short posts).

There's also the html, colored text, and just the bytes taken up by the posting system and stuff. I can only assume it takes more bytes to store a post than just the number of bytes equivalent to the characters they take up.

So I wouldn't be too surprised if we were getting up there. Probably around 20 gigs perhaps? That's not even taking into account hosted images, threads, user profiles, and all that other shit.

With that in mind; Do our posts actually have a character limit on them?

Just in case, you know... if somebody held down the 'A' key for 60^9 times and then accidently pressed submit reply.

I assume there's some character limit (<= War and Peace) where the server would just choke and die trying to handle your post.

Kim · 05-31-2010, 02:59 PM

There's a character limit. It's very long and hard to reach though.

Meister · 05-31-2010, 03:10 PM

10000 characters or so, I think. Haven't seen any post that long in a very long time.
