Err... not really. Aside from your point on file sizes, the same arguments could be made for the rest of the site, and yet the galleries are, as they are. I'd say that if eliminating sex and violence are the goal, do it site wide, or not at all. Start with the marketplace, there's plenty of outfits for V4 sold there that would violate the site's own rules on thumbnail displays.

As for file sizes, if that's the concern then cut the allowable file size down, and allow the use of formats that take up less space (such as .divx).

As it stands now, I can make a small 400x400 12 frame animated .gif and put it in the regular galleries with the 512kb limit, but I can't post a .swf, which can allow for larger resolutions and length for the same file size. Most importantly, a .swf loops great, so you can a lot out of 30 to 60 frames instead of making a full length clip.

TOS issues aside, my frustration with the animation gallery as it stands stems from the fact that it does little to cater to short length, looping animated clips. An expansion in allowable file types (i.e. allowing .swf files), would go long way to rectifying the matter.

The strong do as they can while the weak do as they must.
