1)You've obviously never run a server in your entire life. The filesize is almost tripled . If you have a million of these beings loaded, let's say the gifs are 6MB each, that's 18 million MN (18 terabytes) compared to 6 terabytes. That's quite a bit of money right there you twat. It's a horrible business decision.
2) Tell me where an APNG format image outclasses a gif? GIFs are designed to be perfect for what they do. They are small when stored and are mid quality. I'm sure you are one of those kids that goes around with "ZOMG THE GRAFICS SUKKK."
3) Again, you have no clue what you are talking about, the misconception that gifs only allow 256 colors at all is bullshit derived from early video cards only allowing that many colors. Go look up true-color gif for instance, welcome to the real world.
GIFs aren't restricted in size either, actually. That's the site's doing to prevent bulk data.
5) Tell me when exactly a GIF hasn't been able to do what it does properly? Where an APNG would be warranted to cost 3 times as much (because space is money in real terms, as well as needed processing power to go through the evergrowing databases.)
6) What exactly is your profession and technical knowhow? Obviously not business or anything regarding computers. If you can say "oh it's 2012 get a life and learn to use the least efficient method so I can have slightly better images because I don't know what the Hell I'm talking about" you don't belong in this conversation.

1)Silly, filesize is irrelevant regardless. Content gets removed here about monthly, no? And only about 100,000 gifs are posted. Also, not everybody would shift to apng as gif is already supported, so there wouldn't be much of a difference. I believe people would only use apng given that they need a higher quality animated picture.
2)Gifs are not perfect, as they are not lossless, but then again neither are apngs. However, a gif only supports 256 colors, so it would be beneficial to have a more modern era image format.
3)True-color is hardly ever used for gifs, the gifs you save daily are not true color. About 2% of all gifs at the moment should be "true color". I never said anything about size, only regarding quality. If you interpreted it as size, my apologies.
4)??? You skipped this..
5)I don't like how gifs aren't as detailed as apngs, it looks ugly and we live in an era of high quality images. Seriously, just compare any gif to an apng and you'll see the difference. As for the true-color argument, like I said, its only a small percentage that are true-color, and a conversion to true color would cause an increase in file size, wouldn't it? Since you have to layer different colors in each frame, therefore having more frames.
6) I mentioned this in the other post, I'm a DBA.

I see we have a lot of misunderstandings of each other going on here. I was under the influence you wanted to replace all GIF files with APNG. But I'd say we would both agree on saying that different jobs require different formats. But until APNG gains momentum and is actually supported by one or more browsers natively, I don't think Princess Celestia should be at a rush to support it. People using IE can't use APNG formats ever. GIFs work on this site for anything it really needs, so let's wait to support APNG until Princess Celestia feels like buying some more servers and it's popular enough to warrant his time. Oh, and I wasn't aware he removed content? Nice to know.

Oh, silly me for not mentioning I'm completely fine with GIFs, its just that APNG needs some kind of spotlight as well, since I've been using the format a whole lot in Photoshop as of late, and I have to say that I'm impressed. But yeah, FJ should really get more storage and open its horizons sometime soon. Maybe they can add support for .swf so users can upload flash games. Though I think there might be a copyright issue with that.

Hmm yeah, I agree with you regarding IE, but FJ never worked correctly on IE I think.

And for removing content, I think what FJ does is it stores all visually similar images only once. I think that's also how one image is determined as flagged or not, but I'm not entirely sure.

Oh, I'd agree with you completely with pretty much all of those points. I think Princess Celestia needs some help though, he needs to stop trying to be the king of the hill with nobody helping him.

Eeyup, they need to hire more Indians to code for their website.

Anyway, it was pleasant talking, Have a nice evening.

Oh nevermind, both GIFs and PNGs are lossless. My mistake.

And I'm terribly sorry if I sounded aggressive. I thought you were just another kid bitching about graphics.

It's quite alright. I was under the impression you were trying to piss me off for some reason or another.

Good to know we can come to some sort of decision.

Oh of course not!

I knew what you meant by that, no big deal!

I liek you too corkscrew! just kidding i love you.

Yeah... That's a problem I have that I should probably fix...

I almost thought you guys were genuine... *sniff*

Why, is someone here not genuine?? O.O
'Cause I assure you, I am.

WWWWOOOOOHHHHOOOOOO THAT MAKES ONE!
Is there a particular reason as to why?
