Picture sigs
 

Why aren't we allowed picture sigs?? I'd really like to see what people on here would put on their sigs, including myself, I make some pretty kick ass graphics.

I think its a dumb idea for people who have slow computers loading avatars is already a pain in the ass but when you have to deal with your comp getting slowed down because of pics in someone's signature it gets annoying and if you'd bother to read the rules it says "3. Signatures cannot contain images." and in all honesty some of the crap people put in their sigs isn't porn but its pretty damn close and i dont like reading a topic then seeing some half naked pop star. I think its a horrible idea for many reasons.

Aye...I read the rules, but I was asking why.

I could see why you would say no..but why don't you make rules about the images people would put in their sigs...

EG: No half naked people...

well, you get my drift.

Because not everyone would follow the rule read the rules again and you can see multiple ones that are broke daily and theres still the slow computer issue, which is why we have limits on the sizes of the avatars.

Aye...but I've been on boards where everyone has a picture sig and almost everyone has a dial-up...and we don't get complaints....and if someone brakes the rule, ban them, if they are stupid enough to break the rules in the first place they probably aren't worth having on the boards.

Though if that was the case I'd be banned 10 times over. lmao

I'd be weak to ban someone over that, or warn them dial up isn't always an issue to a slow computer and i'd rather not have pics in sigs because it makes the signtatures to large. I think its a stupid idea.

Well you could specify a size.

I don't know. I just want pic sigs.

I brung this up about 4 months ago. In fact it's still on the first page of this thread:laughing:

I think there should be sizes. I.e. A wee strip. Nothing bigger then the size of the "quick reply" box thats at the bottom of every page.

Width over length too, so people don't have to scroll for decades.

thats gotta be the funniest word ive ever seen.

and i agree with misfits standpoint on this. if people were aloud pictures in their signatures, theres no telling how much stupid, idiotic, and possibly pornographic stuff people would put in them. especially the occasional spammers that we get around here.

Err thanks. I've been practising my English lately, I'm glad you noticed:p:

i dont think naked pictures are offensive. the human body is not something that should be covered. i know this is a bit off topic but why is everyone so against nudity and sex? i mean u can get a game, e.g san andreas where u can beat and old lady to death with a baseball bat and steal all her money, yet your not allowed to see a pair of tits. that makes no sense to me. some tribes out in the middle of nowhere still half half naked women walking around. i really do think that there needs to be something done about everybodies fear of the human body. sure having some chick sucking someones **** is offensive but the naked body should never be considered not apropriate. it just natural baby

its just considered taboo.. for some reason or another. and some people do find it offensive, for reasons of their own. that and the fact that this is a music forum, and not a nude pictures forum.....its not needed. its not as much an issue of pornographic pictures in signatures....as it is pictures in signatures at all. they arent needed.

oh yeah of course. i think all sigs should be music related, like mine JEFF BUCKLEY ****ING RULES LIVE AT SIN-E, if they are in a music forum. im just commenting on society in general. and the whole thing about how romance and violence is cool yet sex is not.

either/or is now my idol. Brilliant points! I agree with you 110 percent.

I'm all for nudity, just not on this forum.

I don't think it's gonna happen.

If someone could give me a legitimate reason as to why you would need pic sigs I'll bring it up with GregB. Emphasis on LEGITIMATE.

The same reason we need text sigs, to express.

And to look witty.

piss on it, its just more crap to scroll past. why do we need picture sigs if we have avatars? to me its a waste of loading time and space.

You would really pass up the chance to put THIS in your sig?:

yeup, i'd just scale it down for my avatar ;) or post it somewhere just for ****s.

Yeaaaa I guess.

Boo I hate being defeated.

a sweaty fat guy? yeah, id pass that up in a heartbeat.

Nooo...it's an O'RLY Owl joke thing...I think half baked got the joke.

But its a sweaty Peter Kay.

..That defies whatever other point there was to it.

In a good way or a bad way??

...

Honestly, what could possibly be good about a sweaty Peter Kay?

I don't bloody know, it just looks funny to me. That picture...doesn't it make you laugh?

Laugh, gag, its all the same.

Anyway, on topic, I honestly see no need for picture sigs. Youve got avatars, beggars cant be choosers :)

Aye. okaayy. I stand defeated.

well... it IS pretty funny...

I like the idea of signatures. I had a signature on another board which loaded fine and their was more members than on here. But if the majority don't want them then that's fine, I've made it this far without them.

I just think its totally not needed and im going with artist on this one.

is that also why we can't have animated avatars?

i doubt it because avatars are very small. what kind of animation are you talking about?

I was under the impression a user has the option of turning off or on the viewing of picture sigs on a VB forum.

im almost positive greg has them disabled.

I mean individual users can choose to veiw them or not in the user options
