First of all calm down. You are a young, immature hot headed bratt. This is fact based on your behvior on the org and conversations with you on AIM. I have nothing personally against you bum. I don't know where you got that from. I'm entitiled to my oppinion so don't flip out because someone doesn't agree with you. I personally don't understand why you need to feel your "self expression" in your sig. You can advertise and do anything you can do in images in text in much less space.....period. Your icon and the AMV's are for self expression. I personally ignore any image sigs at this point and don't even see them. I looked at yours because you were bitching about it and wanted to see why. The reason was that you don't know how to use html. Instead of bitching about it, why don't you just learn how to use tables and your problem will be solved. Sigs are like banner ads, you just stop looking at them cause they are just peddling crap you don't want and are all over the place. I hate websites with piles of adds every few lines like tomshardware and such. That is essentially every post here. Especially if its the same few people posting over and over. My oppinion about sigs isn't reserved, its mature. Hence why the creator of this site limited how the sigs could be used.

I would like to propose sigs only showing up on in the user's first post in a thread.

I personally liked when we had "Phorum" here at the org. Ahhhh the good old days.

A "Signature" is intended to state or show you you are, and if used should be a means of allowing people to contact you.

Modern Internet forums have funtionality built in to automatically show who authored a post.

Therefore, any and all "signatures" of the sort currently being duscussed are completely useless, and should be abolished altogether.

If someone feels the need to "express" him or herself with a huge graphical "singature" that has nothing to do with anything, that person should reevaluate his or her reasons for needing said form of expression, possibly with the help of a licensed mental health practitioner.

Bah. Let people do it so long as it's reasonable.

I'm yet to see any physical harm caused by signatures, and mental harm tends to be non-existent in regulation sigs.

I, for one, am a fan of signatures. If you see them as useless, perhaps we should also get rid of avatars. And site banners. And graphics. In fact, let's outlaw the .gif, .png, .jpeg and every other image format, and to further avoid this evil of unneccesary information, let's switch the forums entirely to newspeak - doubleplus ungood persons rectified! :roll:

I'm all for bigger sigs as long as the sigs aren't bigger than the posts like here.

I'd like to see an option to disable signatures globally on a per-user basis. Personally, I think signatures are unnecessary insofar as identification is concerned, but if some people here have a strong need for them then I say let them have it. Just don't force your needs on me.

Starting at line 1039 in viewtopic.php (phpBB 2.0.10 codebase) would be good.

I think the above idea is a very good one. Yes.

Agreed. That would help people with crappy bandwith, and not irritate those like myself who enjoy a good sig :roll:

off cource pookie, your allways right, never wrong. i love that about you.

honey, instead of trying to get me all heated up, wouldnt it be a good idea for you to actualy help me by telling me how to use tables. i mean, its like giving birth to a kid and then kicking its ass and telling it to look after itself the second it pops out. meaningless waste of energy realy.

baby i know your allways right and stuff, but sometimes, well, you know, other people can be right too. even if they dont agree with you. dont think that just because people dont agree with you that they're opinion is immature and your is. thats just narrow. (oh and, please dont get angery and shout at me because i said that other people can be right too. im sory honey but, sometimes ive gota say these things)



now AD, i know you hold great respect for phade and his rules. i think ive found a simple way to resolve this. i saw a kung-fu movie where the hero's son (who was one hell of a fat baby) decided his and his fathers fate by iether crawling one path or another. so here's my solution. get phade to creat two banners (as in, real paper type ones, not computer images), both the same. leave one as normal paint a thick white line across the middle of the other. now give david a variety of sharp blades and get him to rip them both up. the one which gets ripped up the most will determine weather the banner changes or not. and the other banner i will hapily eat. simple.

Trust me, I wasn't trying to get you all heated up. Its not meaningless to be able to rely on oneself. You seem to imply you are like a newborn baby or something. How old are you again? You certainly aren't a baby and are capable of taking care of yourself for certain things like a internet search. A quick search on HTML tables would have resulted in a page explaining how to use tables and the different tags. This is just another situaiton where you would rather have other things changed rather than just be more knowledgeable about a topic as its easier to do the prior.

I never said I was allways right or made any comment saying my opionion is the only one, just that other people of a similar age shared the same view, such as the creator of the site who laid down the initial rules. I just was explaining my oppinion since you attacked it in the first place. I never was shouting or angry to begin with. I didn't see any caps in my post which would indicate shouting. You were the one who got all riled up in the first place. This is certainly nothing too get angry about. Its just an internet forum.

All this sweety, honey, baby stuff...I thought you were done pretending to be a girl.
