My sig breaks the rules...help?

Phil12 · Post by **Phil12** » Wed Apr 30, 2008 10:00 pm

hey I'm trying to make that dinosaur (Diablo from Primal Rage) work as my sig but it's too big and every time i resize it, it is no longer animated. I dont wanna break any rules, so i was wondering if anyone could help me by resizing it and keeping it animated for me...or if someone would be kind enough to show me how, I'd appreciate it. thanks.

I personally prefer this as a sig:

It has dinosaurs and is kinda shmup-related

Too bad we can't have animated sigs. I could come up with some neat stuff.

What is the logic behind allowing animated avatars but not animated sigs?

I can't say for sure, but I think it's because they're smaller and off to the side (i.e., limited potential to be annoying). I guess an 80x80 strobe light avatar wouldn't technically break the rules, but I'm sure it'd promptly be addressed by mod intervention and/or public ridicule.

I fully endorse all of the board's restrictions on signatures. The board already has a low enough signal to noise ratio without 800x600 animated banners in the sigs (although still way better than most places).

The Coop · Post by **The Coop** » Thu May 01, 2008 2:30 am

No one in their right mind would suggest letting 800x600 sigs be used, but one does question why 200x50 sigs can't be animated.

If animated sigs were allowed, I'd use this:

Or, you could try something that would be a bit closer to what people might actually make...

You're obviously overestimating my taste in signatures

I need a sig where every annoying board member gets hanged.

I use this in my signature on a couple of other forums.

Alphabetical order, so I get to see you go first.
