:We don't need links or captions in Userboxes. --{{User:LegoAlchemist/Sig}} 18:03, 20 March 2011 (EDT)
*facepalm*  Sorry, I was thinking of other images...  {{The Inexistentsig}} 22:36, 22 March 2011 (EDT)

We can't let this die out--it's becoming a problem in auditing. For example, while I was auditing images, I had to leave a ton of images unchecked because we hadn't decided on this. While there is certainly more effort required in resizing the images off-wiki, there is also the risk of exceeding Photobucket's bandwidth limit. We could try Lego/Kryten's idea of using the KHWikia URL's, though if they ever change their image names, we have to as well. Additionally, we could make this simple as say that if a user wants to use a userbox, it's their own responsibility to fix the image until we complete the syncing.
This is urgent, so I'm willing to just go into a staff election-style voting, with justification and discussion of course, if everyone is ready. --{{User:DoorToNothing/Sig}} 18:54, 2 April 2011 (EDT)
:I say just get a tinypic account, they don't have a bandwidth limit. {{User:Erry/Sig}} 19:05, 2 April 2011 (EDT)
::I second Erry's notion.  I'll have some time soon, so I can resize a lot of the userbox images that don't require a white background (as I can't make them transparent).  {{The Inexistentsig}} 22:12, 3 April 2011 (EDT)
