Animated Sigs: You Make The Call - Page 2

4th and Long · 02-04-2006, 11:57 PM

There's been some discussion on another thread about animated sigs and whether or not to keep them or make them a thing of the past to help improve board performance. Delt suggested I make this poll and hinted that what's decided here may become board policy. Ya gotta love democracy.

Be advised, this is a public poll. If you don't have the sack (not you, ladies) to voice your opinion here, don't whine about it later if this becomes board policy.

They annoy me quite a bit but I just use adblock. Occasionally there are ones that are good but mostly they are distracting while reading the board.

Filesize limit makes the most sense.

If you are too lazy to turn them off but not too lazy to bitch, then no soup for you!

Keep it the way it is; I hope to add one of my kid playing football one of these days.

While I do find some of them to be a minor nuisance, I haven't complained about them.

However, I don't see why anyone should have to shut off sigs entirely just because a handful of members insist on using them.

I am not concerned about my end of the link. I am sick of the poor performance of the server and the database. You cannot convince me that freeing up some of the data stream wasted on the animations would not help the BB's performance.

I say be gone all you cute animations.

We can't make it board policy of course. I'm just saying I'm glad I have it.

Screw that! Ban everyone not using Firefox!

I'm one of those still in the Stone Age, without a high speed connection. My dialup service has an text accelerator that leaves pictures and animations appearing as out of focus still shots, unless I choose to display one with full quality. I also generally leave sigs disabled anyway, excepting times like now whem I just want to see what the fuss is about.

So, none of them bother me, I say leave 'em be.

Having people bitch and moan about things they themselves can control is like having someone comapling about how bad their ass smells because they don't wipe their own ass, but they ask you to wipe it for them. Learn how to use your control panel people. I've never had a problem, and I use IE almost exclusively.

I'd rather get rid of the n00bs.

Chieftain58 · 02-05-2006, 08:40 AM

keep em how they are.
