Forumwarz already caters to bad pcs.

I’m talking this as someone using a 256kb connection which is still one of the best out there on this stupid 3rd world country. I’m fine with the fact that I can’t get 3 lemon on a few forums.

I’d come with a different approach, in regards to helping people with poor internet: give us the option to skip attack animations, via the options menu.

I’ve noticed my lv16 Hacker pwns Denture Chat faster than my lv35 Camwhore, because Hacker attacks have faster animations (at least sml, flipr, and fnt does). Most of us long comers already used our attacks enough to know every picture or quote (if you bother to check these, of course), and seeing these slowing our attacks over and over and over is a hbumle. Although disabling pictures works to remove a few miliseconds, Hackers have an easier time to 1-shotting forums, still.

Lots of low-res games have options to skip animations (see Pokémon games), why not here? Just make the animations enabled by default so it doesn’t scare newcomers away. After a while, when you get serious with the game, you don’t really bother with them anyway, so might as well remove them.

This.
