Guys, cut your fucking sigs down. Most people down want to have to scroll though all that shit for 2 words of spam.

pl0x and others: post in every thread. I don't care. Just please cut down your sigs.

I assume you mean pic size.  The actual signature character limit on the other hand sucks donkey testicles and needs to be a tad higher, methinks.  My own sig isn't that long at all but doesn't fit in the character limit because I like to format stuff a lot.  Bleh.

i just mean the general size, more specifically the length from top to bottom. i don't want to see a crapload of words in a sig either.

Does mine count as a "crapload" of words?  If so, I'll gladly cut off the lame Nancy quote. :P

Good job.. I think its only going to escalate until someone starts taking screen shots of entire threads and using it as a sig..  This is why signatures need to not allow images in them, and have a character limit. Avatars that are scaled to a size and forced to be under a certain filesize to load and hosted externally are a suitable replacement.

Bravo, an excellent idea, sir!  That's sure not to upset anybody!  As well, it's entirely logical to let a few exceptions ruin it for everyone else!

// Actually, I assume you were joking.  Kind of hard to tell, though.

Because it is a constructive thread that is really going somewhere and isn't ultimately resulting in a signature arms race?

In all seriousness, some kind of character limit, filesize limit and scaled final image size/shape of rectangle wouldn't be too bad, as long as mine is the size and shape utilized to create such a standard, and that linksigs and blogspam are still OK. As long as Steely promises to quit quoting Nancy Reagan, and Equi stops saying we're too wordy. Personally, Equi, I think your sig should be a Spider-Man character saying "tl;dr". I suppose something like what BG or SST has for their forums is probably what you are thinking of?

Steely: I've successfully avoided Kevin Smith for most of my adult life (as well as Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell, Beyonce, Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson). Don't make me start now...
