gundamcat17 Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 O.k. here is my problem... you all may have just really quick systems but i don't so i keep hearing wow these new boards are way faster than the older ones...And i stop and think about it and realize that the older boards were faster for me and then it hits me why... 18 paragraph long sigs that are multi colored and have smilies all over them are just to much.... i mean seriosly do you really need those extra 8 paragraphs of random stuff.i do like hearing about people and what they like,however it doesn't really matter if it takes 4 mins to load the sig. So out of respect for us older people that are broke due to paying the rent and can't afford a new dell/compaq please keep your sig length down... i know im not a mod so more than likely no one will listen to me but if you do it will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Gundamcat17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Gundamcat17 [/B][/QUOTE] [color=crimson][size=1]I agree with you completely. We do have a rule about sigs being no longer than 20 lines. However, some people aren't really going along with that...so I guess moderators will have to talk to people who's sigs are ridiculously long. You're right though, people should try to tone down their sigs, I encourage everyone to do it.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorykoAngelcry Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 I also agree with this. It is annoying having to scroll down half a page for someone who posted a one line (or one word) response. It is useless to have that much info in a signature. I suppose I can't really complain though, since I can't think of anything cool to put in my sig. . so I stick with my: Evil People Suck!! >_< (Just on a side note. That refers to my Everquest account getting hacked, and my characters and two years worth of hard work being deleted by some idiot who thought he was being cool . . why did I put this? I have NO idea. .*shuts up*) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 if worst comes to worse, just turn sigs off, and there, problem solved.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/B][/QUOTE] I think the mods should start laying the law down on those people more harshly. Getting rid of the sigs, in some cases, take some of the personality away from the individual.

Transtic Nerve Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 Wel I'm sure Kuja would be all over this, however he has the sig option trned off heh I do watch for people with long sigs... if they are too long I tell them to change it... however I haven't seen any that are that long.... and simple text shouldn't take that long to load anyway... i towul dif every single person had 30-40 lines of big text.... but they don't... now if we had pics, that would be different, but simple text shouldn't be that bad. But yeah, if it's that bad, turn off your sig opton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dark Man X Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 I, too, agree with you Gundam. My computer is REALLY slow, and it goes even slower due to the sigs. But it's not their fault that we have slow computers, thus, I never wanted to say anything about it, but now that we're here, might as well! ;) :D I was admin for acouple of other boards. And I remember being able to change peoples' sigs. If there's one that's too big, why not just take it off yourselves? Just give them like a 24 hour warning or something of that sort. And if they do nothing to change it, then just take it off for them. :naughty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyGirl Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 [color=deeppink]Sorry, this is kind of an older topic, but I didn't read it until now. I agree with you gundamcat, and I'm doing what I can to enforce it. If someone's sig is too long, I'll PM them and politely ask them to shorten it, no one has ever argued with me about it (thanks guys! ^_^) The only trouble is, there are only a few forums that I actually read here (well...more than a few, but you know what I mean...) so I have probably only seen half of the people that even post here. I keep a good watch over General (as does TN) when it comes to sigs, and usually intro (my other mod station) isn't something to worry about because they're newbies who aren't sure what to put in their sig yet :) So in short, I think that mods need to look over their specific forums, and of course, James and the god(esse)s should keep a general eye open.

Justin Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 I also agree with you Gundamcat. I haven't seen many terribly long signature as of late, but they have happened before. Although, as with BG, I am only active in a few forums, so I may not have seen the signatures that you speak of... -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolkam007 Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 we Could put a limit.. or lower the limit number of characters a person could use in their sig.. to like.. 650 or however you see fit.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gundamcat17 Posted November 13, 2001 Author Share Posted November 13, 2001 Thanx for all the support to be honest i was expecting people to be slightly pissed of at me for talking about a law that i had remember hearing about long ago... Bassicly i was on yesterday in the wee hours of the mourning{as usual}reading over the gundam forum and got angry when it took like 3-4 mins for a page to load do to someones sig i think her problem has changed do to a lil note i wrote her. I probably should not have taken it this far but hey i think i got half the mods and gods to post to this thread so its all good.I like hearing all of your opinions.... so james,seph,tn,bg,007, thank you... on another note justin did someone steal your name or sumthin i miss sein kamakazi lay the smack down.

Justin Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 Heh, the Smack Down? Heh heh, that is one of the funniest things anyone has ever said to me on the boards. No, no one took my name. I reregistered because I wanted to use my actual name.
