ANNOUNCEMENT: new sig rules unfair to AO'ers

[psycoclown414]

this is bull... umm, the quote thing is lame, most of us have quotes and pics in our sigs.. its what makes us, who we are.
look at magman007, or transmans.. these guys have awesome sig images and we know who they are from the image in there sig..

im just small time AO'er, nothing big.. i am known to an extent that i've upset a few people.. and made a few friends. but this sig rule is uh pretty not cool.

mabye a cool mod could talk them out of it..

[magman007]

hey bro, i miss my sig thats fir sure, but im keepin the magman007 part. were alowed to have one image with in certain dimentions, and you can block a blunch of little uns together as long as they 're one photo.... They all have to be in dimentions. Starting monday, they will be all turned on, and the mods will go through, and cut down all the sigs and block them until you fix em. I think it is fair.


Just cool your jets, and dont get pissed at the mods etc, you dont want to regret any thing, and not get to use your sig when your on a 3 day ban, now do you?

[darklord]

Who cares? I think the rule is perfectly fine. Since when do flashy/"cool" images or some obscure quote matter when you're interacting with other AO members? I think it does nothing but good for all of AO by getting rid of all the clutter. Personally I hate scrolling through a thread and seeing a "Pepper" logo or a "Wang Force" logo a million times.

[spazzed]

Bandwidth. 'Nuff said.

[Xerces]

maybe if you paid monthly you would have room to complain, but i'm not seeing that.

[digitard]

Not even bandwidth, its more like ... a lot of people are on 56k .. and when you have a big post (20+ per page) and everyone has like 4 images in their siggy, your system takes a day and a half to load the images.

I think its a bit more fair to 56K users, plus its sometimes annoying to sort through all the stuff to find the actual post ..lol

But if you want multiple images just go into photoshopp and combine your images into one, but make sure they're still in the dimensions outlined.

Sincerely,
Dave K

yeah. the forum's free. its not like not having a big sig is going to kill you....

[psycoclown414]

yea.. i like the sigs the way they were. because you know who said what becuase you would remember the pic in the sic. its fair and all, i have 56k and, it doesn't take forever to load, but some sigs are too big. i just don't want the common normal sig to have to suffer. i worry for my fellow AO'ers.. i care.. VOTE FOR ME

[IcantBelieveit]

well, if you don't pay for bandwidth and webspace then we all need to follow by the moderator/administrators rules...thats just the way things work, and further more i think people listing all the good and bad traders in thier sig is a bit annoying b/c some peoples aer really long, Isn't that what the Feedback Forum is for? soo People can see what traders are like? I mean come on people

[Kevmaster]

you know...there are quite a few forums tat dont offer sigs. It wont kill you not to have a huge image in there

[psycoclown414]

hey mods, i'm sure we can work something out.. lol

[BobTheCow]

"I think its a bit more fair to 56K users"
Well, I have 56k, and I for one would rather have sigs back the way they were than have the page load that much faster...

"im just small time AO'er, nothing big.. i am known to an extent that i've upset a few people.. and made a few friends. but this sig rule is uh pretty not cool.
Yes and yes. I'm in the same boat, but still, I say BRING BACK THE SIGS!!

[hitmanng]

The sigs will be back Monday just in moderation. They still allow 100% more than any other bulletin board I have ever been on, and they are the best. No little Avatars you can get creative. I actually want one more rule. Your post should always be longer than your sig.

[irbodden]

They were WAY too out of control.

Members immaturity made it IMPOSSIBLE to enjoy something that was once a good thing.

People had their sig image, pics of all the clubs they joined, then another paragraph of good traders. This made it so that 56kers were killed, and people had to put up with all the 'real estate' of these pics.

I surf AO all the time on my olddd lappy with 12 inch display, seeing sigs that take up the entire screen is annoying!

I think they should leave them turned off.
