Title: Sig Limitations


Cieran - September 8, 2007 05:28 PM (GMT)
I have discussed this with Ryan, and we've decided that we are going to impose a definitive sig limitation. And that is *drumroll please*...

500x250

(Yes, it's two pixels more than my own)

This is plenty, we consider, and hence anyone found to be breaching this will face dire consequences. You will be PMd, if no action is taken by the end of 24 hours your sig will be print screened, then forcibly compressed into these dimensions. We will then host it on the site. However, we don't have much space, so we'll be compressing it to a 10KB JPEG. Which will pretty much make it look like a mess of pixels. So don't do it :).

To quanitfy, what this gets you is one sig block (500x150), room directly under (no spaces) for a row of NoE2 awards, and a userbar. There will be NO give, if you are just a single pixel over then you will be pwnd. Clear? And if you want any help, your sig should fit into the following box on a widescreen computer (both Ryan and I use one):

user posted image

That's without overlapping the edges, the sig should fit inside there. Otherwise, you're free to do what you want. All clear?...

I might of missed it, but does that include writing? or just a picture?

falco_the_watcher - September 8, 2007 05:31 PM (GMT)
Nope. Naturally, i have a question.

Are we allowed the F word in our sig? *suss* i don't want it now, just for future referance ;)

Cieran - September 8, 2007 05:33 PM (GMT)
Erm, no, not really. Sigs are shown to everyone, so don't swear in them please. And quote boxes are obviously an exception lengthwise, as they can't be altered...

WeirdAdz - September 8, 2007 05:33 PM (GMT)
Well if the F word is Falco, i wouldnt of thought people would of put it in their sig anyway :p

Back on Topic, i would of thought its the same rules as posting, it atleast has to be *'d out.

G_R7 - September 8, 2007 05:35 PM (GMT)
Well, it looks like I have to get rid of my Trainer Cards... Never mind.

Cieran - September 8, 2007 05:36 PM (GMT)
Sorry, you can still link to them. I just feel that it's best to impose some limits, rather than being arbitrary. At least it's not like, 90 pixels that NoA have...

falco_the_watcher - September 8, 2007 05:44 PM (GMT)
Oh well. And i meant gordon ramsay's F word, you naughty minded child ;)

I wouldn't swear. Ever. At all.

Says someone who already has several times on this forum alone even though he's been here only a month or so. :p

*Measures sig* *moves around junk* *tries to make it accepteble*

Cieran - September 8, 2007 05:55 PM (GMT)
Actually, would you prefer 250? Or is 220 ample?...

WeirdAdz - September 8, 2007 05:55 PM (GMT)
Yours is way to big DL2, :D

EDIT: i dont mind as i dont like sigs much, but i think people would prefer 250

falco_the_watcher - September 8, 2007 06:03 PM (GMT)
i read sigs. always. they're great, i mean, sometimes people actually spend... 5 whole minutes working on them.

cieran, either 250 or 200. I just like more rounded numbers.

and takoa, i never swear. The devil just summons naughty words, is all ;)

Inphoar - September 9, 2007 07:52 AM (GMT)
Can members use HTML in their sigs? 0_o I never knew that...

Cieran - September 9, 2007 08:22 AM (GMT)
Yeah you can, but the same rules apply as in the HTML board...

Where did you make it?

Noolsey - September 9, 2007 08:51 PM (GMT)
What? Animate it? I just used Unfreez for that one. Took me around 1 minute in total :p

Cieran - September 9, 2007 09:21 PM (GMT)
It looks rough because it's a GIF, they have problems with semi-transparency...
