AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
For anyone having a problem with the lack of a Feedback link, try to make it your homepage. I have yet to try it so I don't know if it would work, but try and do that and in your for sale thread say, "check out my homepage for my feedback."
I like to come to this forum because, for the most part, the maturity level of the members is higher than any other forum I've participated in. If this helps to keep the maturity level a notch above everywhere else, then I'm all for it. If you can't handle it or don't like it, there are other forums. Just my two cents...
I don't have the time or the will to read the posts in this thread, but I do have this to say.
Tom, this move is in poor form. You're trying to heal a cut on the knee by putting a bandaid on the elbow. Signatures are far from the focal point of any issue here. You, me, and everybody else knows this. I'm sorry that you're either unwilling or unable to, at the very minimum, attempt to understand the issue, but unfortunately that's your perogative. I'd hate to think that your overlooking, either intentional or uninentional of the root of the issues is going to destroy this internet community, but you pay the bills. It's your mistake to make.
Alright, this has become stupid. Have fun on the forum. Sigs was im[portant to me, maybe stupid to others, but something I enjoyed. So, have fun everyone, I'll be leaving you all to bicker over stuff that makes no difference.. Farewell to all.
I think Tom is trying to get everyone's attention... the same way I get my kids attention. Does he have it now, can we be good and get along and play nice?
I really don't care if sigs come back, but I have this sick feeling there going to be based on how well we can get along. Besides.. how much bandwidth did we just save?

Since sigs are often abused or waste bandwith, I see why they were taken out. Still, it is a tool to identify people quicky, and a way to display information easily. In my opinion, Sigs should be re-enabled with image tags off. Either that or put in one of those vB hacks for colored names so that we can atleast identify somebody quickly. A small profile section for feedbacks that shots next to location and all that stuff would be quite helpful also... Well, thats my 2 cents and I bet nobody cares
This is the crap people will commonly come up with when they are WRONG and we "ding" them:
The Mods have violated me!!!!
They banned me for no reason!!!!
Why was my sig removed??? Bloody murder! (Even though it clearly breaks the rules)
There was nothing wrong with my sig!! (Even though it clearly breaks the rules)
I don't know why I was banned!!!!
MagBaller12345xyz didn't get banned for the same thing!!!!
The mods are playing favorites!!!!
They are abusing their powers!!!!
They won't say why I was banned!!!! (even though they did, or it's obvious)
They never did this before!!!!
They think they are perfect!!!!
They think they can't make mistakes!!!!
He got banned for less time!!! (Attempting to equate two unequal things as equal - conveniently not mentioning the details).
[20 other members that were IM'd chime in]: Why did you ban him?!?! Unfair!!!! Look at how many disagree with you!!! Ban me too, I dare you!!!!
"Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely!" (Or some other cliche that infers corruption, yet there is no mentioning of how one should take responsibility for one's actions)
See... this is where the drama comes in. We ban someone... edit a sig... warn them... then the drama comes.
Don't have to worry about cancer in your leg, if you cut it off. These sigs are more like an appendix though. Maybe a circumcision?
But you can blame the patient for it... if he keeps sticking his head in the microwave for fun. "Stop sticking your head in the microwave." "No! Bloody murder! Abuse!!! Abuse!!!! I've been violated!!!"
