practically every website in the world lets you upload an arbitrary sized image which the website then crunches into a format it can display as an avatar

then again FA on a technical level is a geocities website from 1997

@Moot Based on what I've heard from a friend who was close with the FA staff, the tech behind FA is far more horrifying than that

@Zauberin @Moot wasn't it the case that like, one singular dude was responsible for the entire codebase and refused to let anyone else touch it?
