Kappa emote on another website

[Ally]

The emote is located here https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/emoticons/v1/25/1.0

Why not have it on the site along with the rest of the emotes? ( , , etc. )
(would it not be faster?)

Because we're saving our precious server resources for your weird panda profile pictures.

Jokes aside, I do agree that we shouldn't be relying on external hosts for servicing our assets.
That goes for our images of course, but also our Minecraft Account Association tool, which we've planned to migrate over to our own platform for quite a while now.

I'll move this to pending, thanks.
