WTH is THis????
Is the DBB still lost in 1995? Most of us have Broadband. Hell, most of us Have SERVERS up. We are about the only Bulletin board that doesn't allow animated avatars. And image sigs.
might I bring your attention to the banner at the top of this page

Duper, there is a huge difference between a 14kB banner and a 240kB avatar. What's to stop say...AceCombat from slapping a 5MB GIF on his server and using that as his avatar? You still going to use the "nearly everyone has broadband so it doesn't matter" defense? That ship won't sail dude, and you damn well know it. The issue is NOT that his avatar is animated, but the FILESIZE.

It matters because its too ****ing large on the filesize department. I wasn't aware that you spoke for everyone Ferno.

No we are not. Every other forum I read does not allow image signatures. A few don't allow animated avatars either.
Image signatures are just annoying to me. Would you attach an image to every email you sent out? I can assure you that people would quickly get annoyed at you if you did that.
And I do believe the DBB still has a policy about avatar size. Isn't the size limit somewhere around 5KB or so?

Actually Mojo, I'vd seen better. Not that this one isn't any good, But I've seen some pretty kickass avatars out there.
*sigh* ok.. my god I can't believe how bent outta shape ppl get here over small stuff.
I only mentioned animated avartars because typically they are larger. .. BUT not ALWAYS .... seems I have to clarify everything here these days. Here's another thing. The active "community" is barely clearing what.. 150 ppl IF that? My point here is ...awe screw it.. it doesn't matter anyways.

You are being facetious, right? Of COURSE 5 MB would be a bit high. duh! but 240kb? ....dude.... get a grip. that's barely a drop in the bucket. And what's to stop Ace using a a 5 mb? hrmm ... well.. you. Just raise the limit a bit. Personally, I don't care, but quibbling over a couple of hundred kb? that's a bit silly.<font face="Arial" size="3"> AceCombat from slapping a 5MB GIF on his server and using that as his avatar?
