I Move That We Make A New Rule At AO

[Hysperion]

move into the 21st century and get a high-speed connection...then quit your whining...I don't want to hear "Oh, I can't afford one...", not our problem and if that's the case turn off the sig images as suggested.

I like the sig images and quotes and as long as u don't have over a screen on my 800 x 600 i don't mind.

[MikeCouves]

I don't really like sig images. Funny ones are cool, but the stupid ones are useless. The name ones are cool too. A bit of text, maybe a link is all you need.

Aliens-8-Mydad I think alot of us should follow how you put your text in smaller form. I am going to go do that now.

This sounds quite facist. If theres a problem then we must make a law against it. We should just be curtious enough to do this on our own.

you do know i was trying to be funny?

pip_99 your sig is not large to load becuase its monochrome.. now these people with like 640 by 480 pics in thier sigs of their guns is ridiculous...

[theraidenproject]

i dont mind the large ones because i have cable at home and T1 @ school. how's my sig? a little big, but file size is reasonable (IIRC its under 15k, but when i right click it, it says size is not available), in my opinion.

[Doobie]

I was not aware that I could turn off my sig on an individual post. I will do that for all my subsequent posts from now on.
some things bother me though:

MikeCouves- I don't really like sig images. Funny ones are cool, but the stupid ones are useless.

Who decides which ones are funny and cool. And I should have to change MY sig because You have your settings at 800x600?

Next we will have to stop using Smilies. Then how do you transmit personality, originality, and personal style accross. Really big sigs can be annoying, but I recognize a lot of people by theirs. I guess i'm cool with it. Express the hell out ya self!

my 2 cents

hey jerk, if you ran my dog over and said "oh, well he shouldn't have been on the sidwalk when i was drunk, not my problem," think anyone'd buy it?

Some local areas don't OFFER high speed connections, and the fastest modem connect you can get is 14.4. Sometimes I run it without images at all. But this whole "i'll do what I want regardless of the consequences to others" is a load of crap.

thanx vegeta

now look at my sig yeah its large but how do i make it smaller someone give me soem vbcode taht does that and i will do it, plus my sig is only 40k right now, so taht means that users running at 28.8 it takes them just over 1 second to load my images

well excusssssssse meeeeeeee

[Manuel_FZR]

I think, the images should have a limited space and size. First, it makes the board slow, and second, users with slow modems find it boaring ... and they also like to see nice sigs!
Also some are verry large; this is also a bad point, if you have to scrol down a side for only one answer with 2 lines of text and the rest of the side with a sig ...

pip_999 I'm going to introduce you to this neat thing called math. With math units are very important.

You have a 40kbyte sig. That's 320kbits. On a 28.8kbit modem you get an actual transfer rate of about 20kbits/second (there is overhead in IP). So it would take a 28.8 user about 16 seconds to download just your sig. Now mutiply that by a possible 30 different sigs on a single page of a thread (that's the worst case) and you have 480 seconds to get _just_ the sigs of a thread (if they were all 40k and there were 30 different ones). That doesn't include any of the actual thread content. That's a possible 8 min load time. Maybe it's time to rethink your 40k sig.

Everyone concerned about Publishing Rules. Rules are already here specific to our Forum. But the world around has things outside of that called etiquette. And so does the net. It's commonly called Netiquette. People here tend not to seem to follow much of this. But its not realy something that all Net sites ought to have to restate. You should learn it and use it everywhere you go just like table manners.


You might all start by reading this: http://goto.intwg.com/

Here is some more good stuff: http://www.fau.edu/netiquette/net/dis.html

Pleanty more involving graphics and stuff out there. read em. Apply them. Live them.
