There are obviously a lot of forum owners who have problems with the overuse of sig pictures, although we haven't had REALLY obnoxiously large sig pics since Talen's original one. I would rather not go so far as to ban all sig images, but certain auto-restrictions would be nice:

1) Image sizes in the post body
2) Image sizes in the sig
3) Length of URL's
Hear hear,
At estats we imposed a restriction of 8k for sig sizes and 100x200 for images (not sure of the exact figure there), whilst there was real way to enforce it, everyone was on an 'honor system'. It worked when everyone got the idea, as this was the days before cable internet was in reach of common folk.

I like the current pic. Very nice.
Thank you, thats a D.Fanboy 1st Edition. I've also done the sig pics for 3rd Impact, Durran Korr, and Typhonis 1.

And if you can persuade him maybe Iggy's too, as the one you proposed was great (just needed a clean up on the text).
