Which sites can I link pictures or gifs from?

Brownie86 · May 1, 2014

I cant upload some gifs with them being over 1mb so I'm hoping I can just link them instead, but I dont know if GOT has a list of websites that it deems safe to link to.

Any idea which are good and bad in the eyes of the almighty GOT?

Try gilfhunter.com,

they may have a software that lets you alter the size.

I'm not one of these odious people who post a gif in response to EVERYTHING but I read about this site a few months ago: http://gifgif.media.mit.edu/results

Basically any gif you could ever want.

It's probably the content of the gif that matters more than the source of it. Anything dodgy is likely to be hosted on somewhere dodgy. Use a bit of common sense and you should be alright.

Failing that RFUS's link is superb.

I've been here too wrong.
My mind automatically translated that to milfhunter.com

That reminds me.

Mr GrandOldTeam says he doesn't want 40 ppp because of loading times, but what impact on page loading times do gifs take up?

Might not make any difference on a pc but certainly seems to slow things down on my phone.

It's probably less the file sizes involved as the processing oomph it would require to load up loads of gifs in one swoop.

Are gifs broken, or am I doing it wrong? Explain it to me simple, because I'm not that smart.

I have a gif that says these exact words in picture form. Won't link it though.

I'm pretty sure I understand what that means, but damned if I could figure out how large a gif might be.

Go the gif on the site, right click over it, choose Properties / View Image Info or something similar ( exact text depends on your browser ), they'll be a size somewhere in the info displayed.
