I remember posting some install pictures to a Smart users forum years ago, which I'd resized to about 400px wide from the original 5MP digi-cam pics, which seemed to be an acceptable size for the 1024×768 display on the 12" iBook I had at the time. After about 2 hours, I got my post replaced with a message from the forum admin saying my pictures were too big so they deleted them and locked the thread. I then got a PM from one of the admins telling me not to do it again. So I replied and called him/her a pedantic arse and said I'd never visit their forums again.

Interestingly enough, despite my infraction and subsequent private name calling, my account is still active as I get an email from them every year wishing me a happy birthday!
