sigs
 
...should not be 3 MB downloads.

unfortunately, like !@#$!!$!%!%!%!#!#$!#$1, I'm going to have turn off sigs until the throughput comes down.

this is a thread about giant-sized-file .gifs.

atsonicpark 09.04.2008 09:02 AM

3mb downloads? Whose?!!

Mine is like 180kb.

Even though I used to be on a 28k modem for most of my posting on this board, the signatures never bothered me. Now on DSL, they really never bother me. Hmm..

floatingslowly 09.04.2008 09:14 AM

it's the moving .gifs that are the problem. even the small ones are near 1 MB. and yes... a user here has a 3 MB .gif in their sig. even cached it's just too much.

on my home system, it's a non-issue; but while at work and surfing by phone it makes it too painful.

atsonicpark 09.04.2008 09:21 AM

Surfing by phone?...

Man, the world is moving too fast for me.

hahahaha

floatingslowly 09.04.2008 09:35 AM

don't blame me for being a technologically advanced species.

al shabbray 09.04.2008 09:37 AM

for what then?

floatingslowly 09.04.2008 09:40 AM

yr sister's undiscovered pregnancy.

ooops. I was supposed to wait to tell.

al shabbray 09.04.2008 09:41 AM

got no sister
and I doubt you managed to do it with my brother

floatingslowly 09.04.2008 09:59 AM

nobody told you that either? yr brother is now yr sister.

The sig function is the single dumbest feature of the board (or really, any board that has this feature). I should think the options available in the avatar section on the left would be sufficient to express personality and to make oneself easily identifiable to those of us to lazy to read user names. I've had them turned off from day one, and whenever I've turned them on to get some reference someone makes to one I've generally come away with the conclusion that turning them off is still for the best.

atsonicpark 09.04.2008 10:43 AM

Wow. Guess you guys are just easily bothered by things that aren't really that big of a deal. Oh well.

Savage Clone 09.04.2008 10:49 AM

Seeing the same giant picture over and over in a thread with a few active participants is annoying.

atsonicpark 09.04.2008 11:04 AM

Never really cared or noticed myself. It takes, what, a NANOSECOND to scroll post a signature?

But hey if you don't like them, it's cool that you can turn em off. Still don't see the big deal at all. If I can browse this board just fine on a DIALUP modem then...

that's my point. the large file sizes have been slowing down / locking up my browsers.

I'm on the equivalent of a T1 connection, but there is just no reason for them to be as big as they are becomming.

text and .jpgs are a non-issue.

atari 2600 09.04.2008 11:31 AM

Funny how all the people who used to jump down my throat about posting sigs with fine artworks are now the same ones that have large sigs of stupid shit.

floatingslowly 09.04.2008 11:34 AM

yr sigs were never a problem. in fact, I'd go so far to say that I enjoyed them.

even a large-sized .jpg is .25 the filesize of the .gifs we have now.

Rob Instigator 09.04.2008 11:37 AM

yeah

Rob Instigator 09.04.2008 11:37 AM

double yeah

nicfit 09.04.2008 11:40 AM

I want the names.

atsonicpark 09.04.2008 11:52 AM

I dunno, I just think only those with a shitty computer/connection should complain about this kind of stuff. Being able to turn off signatures makes this all a moot point anyway.

Though, in all honesty, a 3mb signature is kind of fucking ridiculous, regardless of anything I have to say. Who?!!?...

nicfit 09.04.2008 12:10 PM

lol

this is a pneumatic press squishing a testicle.

no way. can I download 3 MB signatures several times a day (I clear my cache often)? yep.

should I have to? nope.

it's fucking wankery.

sadly, yes, that's true. but as I mentioned above, I LIKE signatures. why should I HAVE to turn them off?

anyways....yes I'm being fucking trivial, but still...

atsonicpark 09.04.2008 12:18 PM

3mb is excessive, I think we both agree on that. I guess I misunderstood you and thought you hated signatures in general.

StevOK 09.04.2008 12:22 PM

Does he mean crypto's sig?

EMMAh 09.04.2008 12:31 PM

They only bother me if I have a whole bunch of things going on at once on my computer. Then they slow the loading down and what not.

SYRFox 09.04.2008 01:05 PM

Does the pics in my sig bother anyone? If they do I'll delete them, I don't mean to slow the board for anybody

████████ 09.04.2008 01:09 PM

no
but turning cat is almost one negabyte.

SYRFox 09.04.2008 01:15 PM

Yeah just realised this, I deleted it; anyway I think anyone here saw it so often that they will remember it forever :D

EMMAh 09.04.2008 01:17 PM

Your sig is fine in my opinion.

████████ 09.04.2008 01:20 PM
