I am starting to recall why I left theOtaku a year ago. I believe at the beginning of the shift of site design, I liked it quite a bit because it was 'new' and we had the option of worlds. However, art-wise (which was the main reason I was on this site) I became pissed off at. I now remember why.
- We can only post .jpg images.
- We can only post 3 times per 24 hours.
- We have an image size restriction.
- We have a file size restriction
The thing is, I understand the reasons for all of these restrictions. TheO is a small site (comparing to DA) and doesn't have as many servers or people to check over what's going on the site (comparing to DA). So, the .jpg quality is because it compresses the file more, but has terrible image quality. That plus the file size restriction helps to control how much data is on the servers. The image size restriction is slightly understandable too. It helps to make sure pages aren't stretched and that loading times for pages doesn't take too long.
3 times per 24 hours though? WHY? D:
I know its so that they can scan the images to make sure they follow the submission policy and to upload them, but... ;w; It makes me sad. I don't even know when my 24 hours are up. I wasn't paying attention to the clock when I submitted my third one. I can't recall if it was at 10pm or 11pm or- ;w;
-sigh-
I guess I'll just try uploading every hour or so until it passes through.
In other news:
No one asked me any questions D:
(Though it HAS been less than 24 hours XD)
So I leave with a teaser for what I WANT to upload.
PS. ALL OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED CONCLUSIONS TO THE REASONS WHY THEOTAKU.COM WORKS THE WAY IT DOES IS MY OWN ASSUMPTIONS AND CONCLUSIONS AND MAY OR MAY NOT BE CORRECT.
