	Hi there, Png Guy. I don't know if you're familiar with all of MediaWiki's features, but when you upload images, the old ones are still saved on the server. From some images we benefit from optimizing, like on [[Special:Popularpages\|much viewed pages]] for toons and emails. But some optimizations just clog up our servers. When you [[:Image:DVD5Pausescreen.png\|upload an image]] that is only 99% of the original one, we now have two near-identical files on the server just taking up space. What you're doing is great, but I really think that you should mostly stick to optimizing images 70% or lower, except for really big images above 250,000-300,000 bytes. Thank you for your help, {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 12:05, 23 June 2007 (UTC)		Hi there, Png Guy.

		+	Hey again, Png guy. I just came across a special page that might be of some help to you: the {{p\|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Special:Imagelist&sort=img_size&limit=50&desc=1 File list}}. You may already know about this, but it's capable of listing the biggest files first, which I thought might help you in your work toward compressing PNGs.

		+	Hey there, Png guy. Just wanted to let you know that your efforts at optimizing the size of PNG files have been noticed — you've greatly reduced the size of over {{p\|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=upload&user=Png+guy&page=&limit=110&offset=0 110 images}}! As a result, I'm awarding you the Iron Cup of Brunswich Stew. From [[HRWiki:Barnstars]],

		+	This award, the first on HRWiki, is given to recognize good contributions and to let people know that their hard work is seen and appreciated. It was given to [[The Cheat]] by [[Strong Bad]] for his good work on [[New Boots]].
