Heh yeah, back in say 1998 and you got a 4KB/s download rate and thought you were doing good. *sigh* Those were the days

But the fact remains that Broadband still is not available everywhere and not everybody chooses to use it so we still have to give our warnings

We (the moderators) manually edit threads to change the title if it has a large amount of content to download (i.e. images).
It's not likely you'd be banned for posting content like that, of course not

We do have rules regarding large avatars and signature images though.

In
this thread (one in which a moderator added the warning), there is an image that is just shy of 100K. Users on a slow system would have a whale of a time watching their browser attempt to the render this topic. That is why that warning is added to the topic title, so users that are on slow connections can decide to NOT view that thread knowing that it could slow down their experience considerably.
