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.
