Seriously guys, this crap needs to stop.

Impulse has a 1900+ KB sig. That is outrageous.

There are at least half a dozen long-standing very active members, who know the rules, with either sigs or avatars well above 400k.

Go re-read the rules, people. If you want them changed, you need to petition the mods, not arbitrarily break them because there aren't enough mods here to enforce them.

Oh, and HondaXR, selling on the forum is still against the rules. Get that crap out of your sig.

Really people, if you think you don't need adult supervision to be on here, act like it. Police yourself.

In my defense, when I first looked at the size it said 180kb, then it somehow jumped up to 400+. I got a smaller one now....

but yes, you're right dazed

My old one got taken away, although when I get home I'll make it smaller and host it again.  Have a substitute until the time being.  I'd assume a majority of the people here have DSL or higher, so I really don't have a problem although I do try to keep it lower. But my avitary still works

Yeah glassjaw, the rule for Avatars is something like 15k. Yours is 275k.

Good job.

_Edit_ And Niq, I don't mean everybody, but some people have really got to figure this out. Thanks for being one of those that has common sense.

I have not noticed too many outrageously huge sigs. I think it shouldn't as big as a deal as you have made it unless it is seriously slowing down the forum.

Im a tad over the size limit, but I dont think anyone really cares that mine is 200x200.

Only once did I go over size limit, and that was my dancing fetus sig.

I have always stayed within the limit, that is when my sig is working. I hate you imageshack.

Then you should ask the mods to change the rules. This isn't a democracy, but your opinion could matter. As it is, this is the last posting of Sig rules I could find.

And now, for your viewing pleasure, a reaffirmation of the bloody SIG AND AVATAR RULES.

Ive nuked so many massive images lately, its grating on my nerves. Lets go over this.

Try to keep sigs within 350x150 pixels. A little variation is accepted, tall and narrow images are accepted as well. Try to keep them under at most 150kb file size. I will repeat this, 400 or 700kb sigs are NOT APPROPRIATE!!!! Not everyone likes having to load half a meg of crap to see some animation in your sig.

Keep avatars under 100kb!!!! No exceptions, if it is large, it WILL be nuked and ill yell at you. Really loud. And ill steal your lunch money.

Shenk hasn't frequented since WOW started, yes? If the other few active mods think it is a problem, they would deal with it how they see fit. That is why they accepted the job.

Yeah, we should help the mods out, they have a hard enough position as it is, etc..........but this is such a minute detail of the forum. If it became a bigger problem, it would be dealt with.

:Edit: Buzz: not all of this is meant toward you, I just got started ranting on the subject as a whole. Your sig is a good size, and not offensive. While I'll gladly admit to yelling at the offending parties, you aren't one of them, and I do not mean to sound like I'm including you in the last few paragraphs' ravings.:/Edit:

It doesn't matter which mod is where, rules are rules. If we can't be bothered to obey them, we aren't worth moderating.

Think about it, would you beat off the trolls, move topics for noobs, kill bots, and try to keep this place an all around nice place to hang out(regardless of race, creed, or internet connection) if the "upstanding regulars" can't be bothered to do such simple things as follow a filesize requirement in their sigs? Personally I think its pretty pathetic, and a better testament to this forums problems than anything anyone has brought up so far. The fact that forumers in good standing are doing it, and the majority are willing to let it slide, shows how dishonourable the vast majority here are. What does it matter if theres a rule about something so trivial? Does it hurt you to follow it? No. There are plenty of other cool things out there to rip off that are under the limits. Does it hurt you to break the rule? Yes. It shows disrespect for Tippmann, disrespect for the mods, and disrespect for your fellow forumers.

Its like someone asking you to take your shoes off as you enter their home. Are your shoes going to hurt the carpet? Probably not. Do you do it anyway, because you respect their ownership of their home, and their harmless little rules? Yes.

All rule-book-beating aside, large sigs annoy me personally. Sigs and avatars are supposed to be something to help define you to the people you are speaking whith, not a place to post your own "cool vid of the week". Just make a post linking those things, or better yet, get a geocities site or your own blog and put them there. It wastes my bandwidth and serves me no purpose.

Guess what, I don't come here to see your sigs, or your avatars. The fact that you force these large, annoying wastes of resources on me puts you on the same level as email spammers and pop-up ad writers. How many here hate those, and the people behind them?

If you come here with a grossly huge sig, I put you on the same list of wasteful excuses of human flesh. Fourtunately for most spammers and pop-up(and under) coders, I can't yell at them for it. I can yell at you for it, and will continue to do so until I'm listened to. Its my right as a customer, a forumer, and a user of a (sometimes) free internet. And guess what else? I've got the rules on my side.
