April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberI like it! I learned something today, simple things can be as (or better) than complicated stuff.

MemberI got lost in my own head gap rather than what was going on due to the dialogue.
Pretty much played out like this;
"I'm feeling submissive. Now do everything I say..."

MemberAt first I saw the thumbnail and I said to myself "Oh, fuck yeah! Roy McCloud! :D"
And then I was like "Oh, not Roy Mc-"
Around the time I was cut off I suddenly ejaculated an entire lake.
Glorious.

MemberLow res does not equal 8bit. Furthermore, there were a ton of 8bit computers, and they all looked different.

MemberEasily. In fact, if we're talking bits per pixel, all gifs are 8-bit, as gifs can only have a maximum of 256 unique colors.

MemberThe color depth seems for more 24-bit systems. Windows XP, anyone?
garr890354839
Member256 as in 256 shades of grey, not as in 16777216 possible colors, which is 2^24. 24 bits, therefore not all gifs are 8 bits.

MemberI know this is a late reply, but...
The .gif file format has a table of colors, and it has only 256 entries. This means that while you define colors in 24 bits (8 bits for each channel), the image itself can only have 256 unique colors in it; 255 unique colors if you use transparency.. And with animations, you DO want to use transparency because that lets you save space by reusing the previous frame in the transparent parts (each frame has a bit of metadata to tell the program playing it whether that frame should replace the previous frame completely, or just be put on top of it with transparency used to keep the previous frame's contents on-screen).
However, you can have a gif that's formulated in a special way that gives you a new table for every frame... But that still means that for a given frame, you have still only 256 unique colors visible at a time.
So yes, all gifs are 8 bit.
