I can't block it at work, and seeing as I have 50mb+ logs to go through that taking up memory is a PITA _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

I shall change it. It's just because you don't like being rickrolled all the time, isn't it?  _________________ Kimmotalk is where all the cool people hang.

Seriously, I doubt you even know where it originated from and it's 2 years old at least, telling the same joke for 2 years isnt really funny Why don't you change it to Samwell, at least I havent seen that in a while and it made me laugh _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

Oh christ, not this again.
Started over on /v/, when all the gamerfags would click anything that said ZOMG GTA4 TRAILERZ!!!11!one! on it. Most were linked to the video on YouN00b, after the RockSh*te servers couldn't handle the load.
Then Anon hijacked it and took it in as a meme.
Good enough for you now?

No. Duckrolling came from M00tle wordfiltering eggroll to duckroll.

There is a limit on avatar sizes for a reason. I also access the forums at work and not only does the network connection appear to be quite slow at times, but the graphics performance of our thin client devices is appalling. I don't need large avatars making things even worse and I can't block them either.

Is there a some kind of option to enforce a maximum file size policy? I think 50K should be more than enough for a blooming avatar!
