Forum software manages the length of posts by limiting how much text one can write and removing excessive new line characters, but unfortunately the resolution of images posted is not taken into account, allowing me to create an arbitrarily long post using a chain of very long images. This method can also be used to crash browsers in some circumstances by eating up RAM. On Facebook for example, the full image will fail to load and in some cases cause the page to crash.

Another trick would be to fake the resolution by modifying the phys chunk of the PNG (as I used above) to a normal value so any dumb image processor would probably crash from underestimating the amount of memory needed to display the image. Each image above actually takes about 250MB of memory to display yet the file is only some 300kb large :)
