5. I have disabled signatures years ago.

Here's an idea, maybe you could buy the real estate for the bigger sig.

So, say for $100 donation to the subsimz, you could get this amount of space:

I think I know exactly who you're referring to.

First picture is 225 x 150, and 32.599 KB. Second picture is 288 x 162 and 30.605 KB. Overall size is 513 x 162 and 63.204 KB.

So somebody pays $100, and I get to watch my computer slow to a crawl every time they post.

Agreed. Allowing people to buy out of the signature limits defeats the purpose of having signature limits.

See this if it causes that much of a problem.

@niki: Could you please take that gif down or host on a server that's not strapped for bandwidth? That image takes forever to load.

Ah, so it's still within limits. Good stuff. Thanks Steve.

When you right click on the image and look at properties, it says the pixel and byte size. (just discovered it

)

In that aspect, your signature is fine. There are some, however, that need to reevaluate their sigs in that regard.

I vote for establishing a SubSim Signature Council TM that would decide which sigs are permissible and which are not.

Possible members of the Council: Skybird, Tribesman, Takeda (?)
Possible rules of proceeding: verdicts must be reached unanimously (

I remember that Xabbarus gave me infractions once for some socio-economic sentence. The only problem was that it was uttered by Hitler.
I agree that any offensive, inappropriate, abusive sigs should be removed but c'mon...

For me a Limit is okay, but I would prefer a Sig Limit Size 700x150!

CherryHarbey · 08-22-12, 03:13 PM

Signatures that are a little bit too big are fine by me, those that are overly political are unnecessary.

I'd pay a quarter to see that.
