I'm just glad Meth hit us up with an update, it's good that things are still being worked on.
If it was stuck like this forever I'd start freaking out

That doesn't change downstream bandwidth limitations.
There's no reason why somebody with a cell phone or a non-broadband connection needs to load somebody's stupid 500kb 3 second loop of an old video everyone's already seen a million times.
Imagine if everyone's car had a blinking neon license plate holder. You might think it looks cool on your own car if you're 16, but when half the cars on the road have them it just becomes an annoyance for everyone.
Big avatars are fun for about 10 seconds.

Well done Meth. I concur. The temporary sacrifice will be worth it.

And I'm guessing you struggled with the math portion.
Your avy's more than five times over the limit. Clock's ticking.
As you can imagine, Yuku's hosting literally millions of images, so it'll take some time for all of them to be restored. Avys were their first priority. I made sure they realized that our banner was also a very high priority. I'm hoping some of the legacy system images (the original ezboard emoticon set, the lock image, etc.) will make their return soon.
In the meantime, if you use the full post editor instead of the quick reply box, you can add emoticons by clicking the images beneath the post composition area.
Thanks.
The site is already starting to perform better as additional capacity comes online. Any NT regular has no doubt run into blank white screens due to incomplete page loads over the last few years. The new setup should virtually eliminate that occurrence - and also counteract the impact of traffic spikes. After a major news story breaks or during a big game, NT has traditionally ground to a halt. With the auto-scaling setup in place, the system will automatically compensate. There are limits, of course, and it can take a few minutes to kick in, but it should make for a faster, more reliable experience moving forward.
Like you, I wish the transition had gone smoother. Although we knew this was coming, the downtime window was arranged without my knowledge and, trust me, they have been made amply aware of my displeasure with that lapse.
You guys deserve a heads up in the event of scheduled maintenance. We don't want to have our members (and staff members) sitting around mashing the refresh button without effect. You deserve better than that and I regret that we couldn't inform you of the outage in advance.
Fortunately, the worst seems to be over. The team will be hard at work ironing out the remaining issues and then we hope to move on to many other upgrades in the weeks and months ahead.
