OP here.
I think the quality is good, but I want to make the file size smaller. How do I do that?

Using GifBuilderCarbon and Pixen on Mac. Are there better programs? These are just the first ones I found.

'I think the quality is good, but I want to make the file size smaller'

LOL NO

I'd have thought as a macfag you'd know more about gif creation then me (considering that creativity is about macs are good for), looks like i was wrong.

GIF's are just sets of images that play one after another, only way to reduce file size is to include less frames and hence, less images, or to make the resolution smaller on the GIF in its entirety.

That said, if you want to use it as a forum avatar as that dick suggested earlier, youll need it smaller anyway, round about 200x160. I've never seen a forum that accepted over 200 pixels in size for avatars.

youre forgetting you can also reduce the number of colors in the image, and i believe the complexity of the arrangement of the different colors will also impact file size. something with blotches of color is going to be smaller than something with interleaving pixels(to create the illusion of another color that isnt actually used). dithering, is it called?

fyi check a utility called gifsicle - command line gif stitching. Might not be the panacea but if you split a gif up into multiple .gif frames you could fuck with those with ImageMagick then restitch back together. just a thought.

You can also remove some of the unused colour pallet. Also can get it so it doesn't redraw in places where the colour stays the same.

I found size is the best way, sadly. I'm still learning too.

reduced the frames, optimized the palette and got rid of redundant pixels by doing some transparency.
