Jumjalum Posted May 29, 2004 Posted May 29, 2004 The old BISIMGs were funny and useful, I hope they are resurrected for Obsidian on these boards. We now bring you live footage from the World Championship Staring Final.
Jumjalum Posted May 29, 2004 Author Posted May 29, 2004 They were stock pictures you'd put up in certain situations, like there was a picture of a roman forum for the 'Wrong Forum' image and a troll one for the err.. trolls. This was all on the old BIS forums before Interplay swallowed them up and then died. We now bring you live footage from the World Championship Staring Final.
Jumjalum Posted May 30, 2004 Author Posted May 30, 2004 They just added a bit of personality to the boards I guess. We now bring you live footage from the World Championship Staring Final.
Guest Surlent Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 Remember how ppl spammed them and they almost got removed in the first place ? Maybe Fergie doesn't want another IWD2 forum "crisis" happen again.
Chile Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 I agree that the pictures (funeral image, anyone?) added quite a bit to a topic, but I also see the current design of these forums, and it screams "low bandwidth". I guess Obsidian both looks to reduce the load time for people on 56K modems and reduce their costs as related to bandwidth. Oh yes, and then there are leeching scum who would use the bandwidth here to present (steal) the images for their own forums. Without the graphics, Obsidian doesn't need to police that issue.
