jsutton Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 I?m just curious why people bother to create these gigantic signature images after they post a reply etc. on the forum? They just slow up the loading time for the posts. Even though I have a high-speed internet connection, I don?t see the point of having these pointless signature images? Just have a text signature if you?re trying to get the point across that you have a web site, or your online chat capabilities. Also, I don?t mean to be some prick, just wondering that;)?s all. ;) And for everyone that reads this post, don?t get all ****ed, I?m sure some of you can relate to this. :ponder: ???

twist Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 arrrrgh i'm so ****ed at you! i agree the sig size seems pretty big. and some are pretty bad p.s. you can get ****ed at me i don't mind :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keldyn Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 If you do not like them then just turn them off through User cp. As for rediculously large sigs, the staff are aware of the problem and will be removing them on sight so do not worry.

hurting101 Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 I'm also against big sigs. All of my sigs have been under 300b. My current one if 58b I believe. PS - love your icons! EDIT: Oops.. bytes not kilos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twist Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 300k? thats huge! most board limit them at around <50k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keldyn Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 Sigs are fine. I enjoy some of them. They are almost works of art in their own right in some cases. I try to keep all of mine below 50k. As long as the dimensions are reasonable i do not see the problem. Actually i have seen more problems with enormous text sigs than i have with image sigs.

Krome Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 Keldyn, I just notice your signature slogan... something I can relate to... I mean often I dream about flying... the bad part is trying to dare myself go too high... and trying to find a way to lowering myself down... I mean landing or coming down low... it seems that gravity seems to really wanna pull me faster downward... the only part that is scary in my dream about flying... hehehehe :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have similar dreams. The prob with mine are that i have little control over where i go...i can never go as high as i want to.... Perhaps i should see one of those dream interpreters :ermm: hehe Keldyn - staff - neowin.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twist Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 i can interprete it, your too stressed out from mod'n keldyn. you need to ignore my sloppy posts and let me run wild. or your a closet drug addict who wants to get real high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurting101 Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 Originally posted by Keldyn Perhaps i should see one of those dream interpreters *raises hand* I did a big study one dreams (~6 months). I know everything about them :evil: Flying is one of the top 10 dreams... sometimes means you feel confident. If you are get uneasy while flying, let yourself fall. Fall hard. Why?: a) it's a hell of a ride :) b) you're got nothing to lose. What are you gonna do - get hurt? c) you won't be scared of falling anymore, and you will have more confidence next time *sits back down* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keldyn Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 lol your crack me up twist. I think its a bit of both actually, err... the stress part, not the drug addict :p Interesting interpretation hurting. I once read somewhere that the very shock of falling in a dream though can be enough to kill someone.

ToastGodSupreme Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 Dammit, you people need to optimize your damn images. There IS a save for web feature in Photoshop that allows you to adjust the quality and size. Hell, 80 in jpgs leaves pretty good quality at a lower size. try using PNG too. It's not the perfect format (I've only been using it for about 2 months) but for certain images, it provides lossless image quality and small sizes... but only for certain images. 300Kb sigs are ridiculous.

Scarey huh !? :s Hehe. I heard that too, but it turns out it's just a myth. It's never happened, and probably never will. If you do do that, you'll make history so it's a win-win situation: if you fall you have fun, if you die you make tabloids. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twist Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 if your sig is relatively simple you could save a tonne of size with a gif. its a shame you can't use flash sigs. some of the sigs on were-here.com are super nice and small. it'd be a nice feature to limit users to one sig per page/thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krome Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 hahahaha... you're funny... I don't think many of the interpretation of dreams from the west or from the US fit to describe Asians... for example, with Asians, when they dream about snakes, it means someone (opposite sex) is falling in love with you... if it chase you, that person is trying to win your heart... if it bit your ankle, that special person will win your heart... if it raps around your ankle, you will marry them... But Western psychology interpret snake dreams differently from what has happen to Asians... And I don't mean just interpretations but this "snake" dreams are embedded in ALL Asians mentality. It's not a matter of interpretation... it is proven... I am refering to the snake dream... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurting101 Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 Originally posted by ToastGodSupreme 300Kb sigs are ridiculous. Honestly... I meant 300 bytes, came out as 300k. Also, alot of people don't know that you *can* reduce colors in pics (hell I didn't know this till a couple days ago). Usually, it will reduce file size alot. I use Irfanview to reduce them.

I guess they'd have to make the assumption that a when a perfectly healthy person dies in his sleep that it was obviously because he tried falling too hard in his dream.
