you wanna see if it affects your computer, go to the two pages i linked to...its not that hard to click a link

I was trying to be a jackass with a smile. Of course I opened those pages, and experienced nothing. I opened a dozen copies of those pages before my browser started lagging, slightly each time I went to open another, I opened thirty copies before it started taking a few seconds to start the animation. And I opened one hundred copied before I got bored of clicking a link, so I decided to play wow for a few minutes to help stress test my system.

The point of my story is a plea. "Please do not be so angry over people with better hardware forgetting not everyone experiences the internet the same way. We don't all remember that a 2mb picture can take minutes to load for those on dialup, and those that do, sometimes forget that 1000 15kb animations do not act the same as one 15mb animation. "

No, but you didn't need to be that mean to them.

wow...and yet...it slows down most computers...and beyond that, its just annoying to have to read it every time you open the page to read the new post...

I would like to argue it slows down few computers. But I definitely conceed the annoying point.

unfortunately the squeaky wheel gets the grease, as the saying goes.

Its harder to pass something off as a joke if its not funny.

That is a totally huge quote which fills me with no small sense of awe. I am so glad I could replicate it just one more time for everybody's benefit, because otherwise how could they ever have understood what I was commenting on?

Although, to stay on topic, I would just like to say that I think quote-whoring is far more detrimental to the forums than thread-jacking, because it is less funny, but equally frustrating to the purpose of the OP.
