Large avatars & sigs are annoying :O
When someone types out say a message that consists of :
RandomPerson wrote:ROFL!
Which takes up about 10 - 15 pixels. Then the yhave a 150x150 avatar. Thier shoutouts, their famous quotes, smilies, expressions of love for DBZ & the links to the five different forums they goto along with their website, e-mail, aim, msn, ICQ #.
It gets really annoying.
I could care less that you love Trunks so much that you made a 400x100 animated banner of him drinking a budweiser while the budwieser frogs masturbate each other or something... Imagine this posted every other post on the page as the person replies. Multply 100 by 10 posts, that's 1000 extra height pixels :p
I think the problem is that it looks like you put more time into your signature then you did into the message you just posted, which is probably true. You could probably care less about my Carbonated Love & Hatred, or the links I have available, though all of the links pertain to the site. You probably could REALLY care less about my obession with Misato :p. Yet I would like to proclaim it to all that I adore Misato ^_^. I don't need a really tall banner to exclaim this fact.
Actually the Misato banner was suppose to only be 450pixels wide, but I messed up and have been too lazy to change it back. I take care of it now that I hear it has some problems with peoples displays :p
The main concept is that more input needs to go on what people say and less on a signature or a avatar. This is a "WE" concept not a "I" concept.
