Sigs? Do we want em back?

[mobsterboy]

Mods, help me out on this. I dont think we will get them back, but pros? cons? why? why not? And biggest downfall of them when we had them?

[quik]

This place just isnt the same since the cost-cutting steps of removing old pics.

then donate some of the effing loot you make toward bandwidth costs.

[SCpoloRicker]

No.

/doesn't use sigs anyway

[bentothejam1n]

Why dont we have them anymore??

[Tao]

Yeah I see so many cool post from way back but no pics!!!
I would donate to this site!!!!

[BobTheCow]

Do we want 'em back? Who cares? They were removed because of the collective immaturity of members, as well as apparently to save a bit on bandwidth costs. It's not even up to the mods whether we've got sigs or not. It was Tom's decision. Guess who pays for the boards? Tom. This is a futile argument.

donate

if we donate maybe we will score some bandwidth...

[Phantom_Mag]

I would donate aswell to see old pics, but I dont like sigs at all.

[BobTheCow]

The old attached images are gone, guys. Deleted, removed from the servers. Throwing money at the issue won't solve that problem.

aka

aka owners group has a paypal donate button, any idea how that does for em?[FONT=Arial]

[REDRT]

This would work for me, but it is a pain to use all the time.

[BobTheCow]

It was my understanding that the pics are hosted on a separate server. Once they become so old, a script doesnt allow them to be viewable--but they havent been deleted.

Webby?

I want to say there was an actual deletion of all attached files.

Going here seems to confirm:

Now, I may have manually deleted any images I previously had uploaded, but I seem to remember announcements that the images were simply going to be removed and that people should back up anything they needed.


In any case, Tom's said before he doesn't want to solicit donations or require costs for privelages (like you pointed out) in order to prevent any artificial sense of elitism among members, so I don't believe there's a realistic possibility of sigs or images coming back any time soon. At least not while Tom's still footing the bill for the forums.

Sigs just require more bandwidth correct? If my assumption is true then I don't feel the extra cost to operate the site is justified.

But if its for other reasons I'd sort of like mine back, at least an AO-SoCal image would be nice!

[Skoad]

I'm not a fan of signatures, however I do miss the old attached photos like Rouge said.

[Beemer]

They never really left

AO just stopped the support. You can have a sig if you want. In fact show support, sport your logo. I use mine one per page all the time.

They were removed because of the collective immaturity of members

Ouch, Im a member. But I am sure that is one of the reasons they quit the support. But then mine was one that was never removed. I use it when ever I want and by the rules and guide lines in the sig rules.

This would work for me, but it is a pain to use all the time.

Ya Im sure being USMC was a pain. and Thank you

I'd sort of like mine back, at least an AO-SoCal image would be nice!

like this

Dont have an So one because it aint on the state list but if you can make one I can post it for you.

In fact who is good with the photoshop and can make the rest of the states that are missing.
or others like SoCa? There is a guy posting from Africa around here. AO world wide watch out.

All the ones I have are here post eight. The URL is good so link your logo if you want.

'Jam' is the member who created the logos. Anyone remember him?

Anybody remember who did this one and why?

Peace Out
