So 2-3 are okay?  We should set a general limit because the rules should be valid for everyone I think. What about people making smaller sigs? That was one of the first things I noticed when I got here: Huge sigs. On other forums the sizes are much smaller. That means with the same bandwidt you could have more siggies. E.g. If we say 2-3 banners each member in the original size ( like it is now), half the size there would be 6 banners;) Could anyone follow?  |

One banner is ok, more is just mad, the sig is for writing:
Love, Aragil and stuff at the end of posts so you don't have to do that all the time!
Kind regards from Me; and the likes of that is the reason there is a sig feature!!!

My internet has just gone really slow (I've got broadband) because we've gone over the monthly limit, and now I'm really aware of how some pages take forever to load - and it's because of the pictures, people. (Some pages won't open for me...) I know that no one in their right mind would have their internet this slow, but it's made me aware that it IS a problem.

I know Herenya, but some people just seem to be more in to showing off their banners than to care that many people go over their monthly limit using broadband.
I'm glad my father have a deal giving us unlimited transfer though, or else my internet would be extremely slow because of, you guessed it, you peoples banners.

Thanks for the hint Elanor.
Well. For me it's not a problem to have just one banner. I just think it should be the same for everyone....

Because, as it has already been stated, it's not fair to those with slow computers. This doesn't mean that you have go with just one little tiny banner or none at all, you could even change your banners once a day! But it's just common courtesy to let others even get on this forum without thier computers crashing. |

^yer not the only one finally.... I know what it means to have slow computers. Since half a year I have DSL....but before I had dial up as well... And my computer still has problems sometimes because it's a very old one.... So I like the compromise of the mods:) Sounds really good to me! |

Maybe we should reduce it to 2 banners only.. although that would be a shame I enjoy looking at all these great banners..  |

In the announcement (sp? ) it says that we should have two. And of course I like looking at the banners too. But I can fully understand the reasons for this actions... |

Thanks for the suggestions and opinions, everyone. I feel that things have been taken much too fast recently with new rules regarding signature limits, and I'd rather not have the minority of forum users control the majority. It's likely that I'll post a poll soon to get a more valid sampling of everyone's opinion.
Thanks again for your input, and sorry for the inconveniences.
