SIGs (No not cigarettes)

EclipseAnime · 15th July 2005, 10:18

I got a question... Whats up with the ghey sig size limit? Look at mine -points velow- I admit thats pretty big, and I was gunna size it down anyways, but its only friggen 71KB... Who in their right minds would use a damn forum often with 56k. Let alone spend 3 hours skimming through a single thread just to find one thing.... Were not in the 90s anmore ppl....

Mr Jones · 15th July 2005, 10:55

Moved from skin rip and reporting forum as this has nothing to do with reporting skin rips etc.

moved to GD

General rule of thumb, if your sig is bigger than what you are posting then either your sig is too big or what you are posting aint worth reading, quite often both.

However, those are the guidelines for this forum and I think you'll agree nothing is worse than reading some online web forum where every single post is some fucking huge banner advert for whatever crap the user thinks is cool, repeat that 10, 20 times a thread, multiply that by 10 or 20 users all replying in the same thread and it starts to look more garish than a whores bedroom.

Don't like it, unlucky, as it aint changing anytime soon.

mrthchemp · 15th July 2005, 11:07

some whores bedrooms are quite tasteful you know...oops

CraigF · 15th July 2005, 12:07

dont like the rules, dont partake in the forums.

no skin off our noses.

I browse these forums (and several others) every day, on a 28.8k connection.

As my stuff stated, dsl/cable (or even 56k dialup) isnt available everywhere.

I feel sorry for you Atmo.

I have Dial up.... I can view this forum just fine... Everything loads fast....

rockouthippie · 15th July 2005, 18:54

It looks to me like SIG's are ok. Some of you have quite clever sigs that meet the guidelines. Many are really cool.

I'll have fiber optic 5mbps here in the fall. Do I get to look down my nose at you meager DSL and Cable users?.

Whenever possible, webs should be designed to be used by as many people as possible.

Note: If you are using a modem, and you have a choice, get broadband. It makes the internet a whole new experience.

EclipseAnime · 15th July 2005, 18:59

I still think its shit. And that quote is entirely wrong. 15%? My ass. Also, I have the best sig in the world now -points down- Anyways, if your have dialup, you must live in the slums.. Anyways, I could carelss what you look down on when you get fiberoptics 5mbps. My cable is 6mbps u_U

tuckerm · 15th July 2005, 19:03

in the whole world thats right..15%
dude just get a new sig.
none of us complained..we just created a sig and moved on to forum searching

EclipseAnime · 15th July 2005, 19:13

I stand corrected, now I have the best SIG.

White Raven · 15th July 2005, 19:32

Excuse me? Just what in the fuck is this bullshit?
You're complaining that your sig got removed/resized because it could have near doubled as a wallpaper, and now you're moaning and crying because not everyone wants to be assaulted with 71kb of your sig multiple times in a thread?

Nice lameass sig, by the way. It really does suck donkey glans. Onoes my sig got removed because I wasn't paying attention or having consideration for others!
"FuCk mOdz"
Done like only a true AOL-raised 12-year-old could.

The mods know what they're doing - that's why they're MODERATORS. They moderate the place because people like you come in with their gargantuan 400x300 googly-eyed animated anime sigs with Rurouni Kenshin and Inu-Yasha prancing about with huge eyes and tiny mouths screaming "OMGZz 4NIM3 R0xx0RZ MAI S0xx0Rz!"

Nobody cares that your garish and huge sig got removed. Nobody gives a fuck that now you're putting off a weak-assed rebellion against the mods.
You're quite possibly just another troll that will go down the banned tube unless you smarten up a bit.

I'm all for hanging out here with you so long as you learn to abide by the rules and not get so freaked out over a sig being removed.

Vie · 15th July 2005, 19:39

I think he has just screwed his chance of getting on with a majority of the forum for the next year.
If you realy want to stay on the forum, dump the immature sig, lightly kiss one of the mods ass (We have a female mod now if that would be less disturbing for you.).
Or if you dont care, leave now before the vultures begin to decend...

S-uper_T-oast · 15th July 2005, 19:45

vultures?

nah, I was thinking more along the lines of bunnies.

You of course understand who Ofcom are, their roles and responsibilities and which government they work for. right? So you of course understand that their research took time and effort, which you're clearly did not. You did afterall read the article I linked to. Right? And you're not socially isolated. right?

Fios is gonna beat that like a redheaded bastard son.

If you want to spend some some money, try 30mbps. Also available at about $180 a month. In a couple years, way cheaper.

Cable modems suck. My brother has ATT cable. His "theoretical" 6mbps cable modem is usually slower than my Verizon DSL, unless you do downloads at 4 am.

He can't even use a VOIP phone most of the time.

You could tell from my site that I use a lot of bandwidth.

Jeez, to come up with such a cutting insult to the moderators must have taken balls.

ElChevelle · 16th July 2005, 02:27

Yes, I'm deeply hurt and in need of a shoulder to rest my balls on.

In response to anyone who bitches about sig sizes:

STOP WHINING, YOU INFANTILE UNDERWEAR STAIN!
YOUR SIG ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH TO WIPE MY MONKEY ASS ON LET ALONE INTERRUPT MY FORUM SPACE WITH. I'D RATHER SEPARATE ORGANISMS IN MY FECAL MATTER THAN LOOK AT YOUR SORRY ASSED WORK OF INCOMPREHENSIBLE DRIBBLE!

BIN THIS DRIED UP EJACULATION LEFT ON A 5 DOLLAR WHORE'S PILLOW!!!

Note: The preceding was not directed towards the threadstarter.

Except maybe on Tuedays, Fridays and Sundays and the third week of every other month.

Cognition · 16th July 2005, 02:44

I'd have to adblock a 71kb sig or I could never view anything. Seriouly, that'd even take some time to load on DSL. It's still gonna be a couple of years until all the major towns in this country have broadband access, and it's prohibitively expensive at first when it gets there. It's not only US citizens on the internet sir.

Just as an example, say I want 2mbps speeds with a 10GB cap, that's about the best you can get here. That'll be about $45US a month. Broadband starts at about $25US a month but you'll have low caps and very low speed.

CraigF · 18th July 2005, 09:59

As i already stated. Its the rules, dont like it, go elsewhere. Continue to bitch, we'll force you out.

ElChevelle · 18th July 2005, 10:50

Maybe we should scrap sigs altogether.

mark · 18th July 2005, 12:06

how about no images in sigs? pabook has that rule and it works well.

CraigF · 18th July 2005, 12:15

how about we allow html/flash in sigs?
