Not everyone here has DSL or other kind of hi-speed access. To me, you're just being lazy and not wanting to take the time to convert your images or to use a dithering effect.

Take a look at my example. Top image is the original 32bit color version. The one below is what it looks like after being put into 256 using the Floyd-Stienberg dithering method. There is very little difference that can be seen without magnifying it. If you don't have an application that can properly dither your images, send them my way or download something like Neopaint (shareware).
hey smart a, you cant use alpha channel on 8bit graphics

all my artists gfx were made in 24 bit and are AMAZINGLY beautyful, but when we make them 8 bit it removes at least 3-4
layers of shading, the gfx are still beautyful, but look crappy

im not looking to have 2k2 quality gfx, im looking more towards professional type gfx
