Whether there is or not make NO DIFFERENCE, it's still checking. Removing the link will only return a different result than if there was a link there. Which part of "Removing them has absolutely NO EFFECT on Neowin's servers" are you failing to understand? Like I said, anyone who removed their sigs thinking that it did anything is delusional. Anyone who believes it made any difference at all is delusional as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bbcodes used in the sig are STORED on Neowin. They removed the STORED code - to save space for Neowin. But Neowin has plenty of space. example: somebody puts in their sig: <pre>[img]whatever.gif[ /img]</pre> <- thats stored and takes up space (very little, but still) They were just trying to help, even if they helped very little, you still don't need to get all hot about it.

Seriously? You inability to grasp a simple idea, and posting this respone, most likely took up more room than every sig file link in this thread...

I KNOW IT DOSEN'T REALLY HELP... its very little space. I KNOW THAT. OK! GOT IT! I don't have a sig, I hate them. I am just telling you what the people that removed their sig did, and why. Man... unbeliveable. :right: :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XtremeX Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 Stop flaming each other and realize you are both probably wrong. The only one who can answer this would be Neobond himself. So just chill, drop it and close this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BxBoy Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 It's odd how it happens all of a sudden (the serverload skyrocketting), the admins should really look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
configure Veteran Posted July 23, 2002 Veteran Share Posted July 23, 2002 There is no need to argue whether you should turn off your signature or not. If you want to turn it off believing that it might help Neowin in a way, go ahead, thank you for trying to help but remember this, Redmak has already said that if he need to turn off signature, he can use his secret almighty big black dark switch :) It's odd how it happens all of a sudden (the serverload skyrocketting), the admins should really look into it. They are currently looking into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
