Sig Sizes

[Phil]

there are some sigs in the forums which are massive.

wayyyy to big, like in any other forum you'd get a temp ban for it.

they are mostly the property of newbies, but there are a few other people who sould know better.

thats all.

\/ ?

I agree, however, it doesnt bother me, because I have Firefox with ad block.

 

[mattmagoo]

Do u mean big as in long so it takes up several inches, or filesize, coz mines 246k

 

[Daz_Genetic]

yes mattmagoo, yours would be a good example. I've noticed the page loading grind to a halt because of your sig. It's a quarter of a meg.

Though I think the actual complaint here is about dimensions of the sig itself. Big sigs mean you have to scroll through a bunch of shit just to get to the replies.

Is mine alrite, i think it is coz its not too big i dont think????

 

[finty]

im takin mine out now, dont wana annoy people.

Remember, you can turn off signatures from the control panel. However, anything that gets to 'hip hop freestyle battle forum' sizes, including page-sized images and ten paragraph long quotes, will be deleted. Any sigs that are still on this board are there because none of the mods or admins have took offence to them... but I would perhaps agree that some of them are too big. To be honest, it doesn't bother me a whole lot, but then again I run at 1280x1024. Perhaps some of you guys with larger sigs may want to reconsider in light of this thread

 

[GPJosh]

Am I ok? :huh:

 

[BaDToaD]

Personally it doesn't bother me as I have broadband but I have thought ouch the modemmers will suffer a bit coz of that one etc.

Spare a thought for the modemmers and bear in mind they probably average about 4k a second. So Mattmagoos could take over a minute to load. Better yet stick to a text sig. You could have a short novel in less K than Matts sig takes up. HG Wells The Time Machine is on my hard drive and is a mere 186k

EDIT: Please don't use a full novel! hehe.

How about instead of putting huge animated GIFs, you use ascii pictures.

EDIT- I like this kids sig, really makes you have to stop and think and attempt to translate. It was hard but I got it...
"! l?l/\lV7 73l<llV 7l-ll233 ?0l273l)"
I think it says...
"I want tekken three ported."

I like that sig...

 

[bringoutthegimp]

the only sig that annoys me is that chick's sig with the huge picture and the writing. TOO BIG (well............it isnt that big but it could be smaller)

 

[Phil]

its not even the size of it(even though 250 is too much.)

its just that i would like to see peoples work in sigs some are great, but if its just a 1048x768 picture of your favorite game, whats the point?

 

[Dozer]

Sadako most deffinately has the strangest sig. I dont really have anything against the size of sigs, if a fat animated gif slows the comp down i just block it.

But Sadako's is disturbing...

 

[mattmagoo]

Sorry bout mine, im gonna go and change it,

just changed it, if its still too big just tell me and ill change it

 

[Mofokubik]

That's perfect

 

[g8w4y]

How about:
! f/|\/| f\ 6|*32 f|23f\|<
But back to the topic, if there was a way to track img links and find the size of the file they reference (and block them if they're too big) then that would be good...

Also, visit http://www.text-image.com to convert images into ascii...

 

[mattmagoo]

wahooo
Well done son, look VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

 

[kknd_cf]

would I be a culprit of a big sig (not size as in number of pixels..)

na yours is ok. i prefer when it people use a picture (reasonably sized) for their sig so its easier to identify the beginning and endings of posts or if youre look for a specific persons post then you can just look out for the sig
