I know that they don't take up any bandwidth...but it really is kinda annoying to have to scroll down half a page because someone's sig file has a 1024x768 .jpeg of their latest and greatest ride, or a page long list of their modifications.

Can we at least try to keep it simple...I've kinda noticed this lately...I remember reading one post where it was like a total of 3 paragraphs of info and it was like 4 pages long!!!

Am I bitching to much, or is this bothering anyone else?

Our Celica's are badazz..and each one is individual because of our own personal taste...but that's not an excuse to make a billboard for a sig...

I totally agree, I've NEVER seen the point. To me a long sig is like telling people you had the world's greatest day you will never convey it to them accurately. They have to experience it for themselves.

yup....annoying as hell. One thing that is really annoying is that their car is like 1/4 the size of the whole pic and the rest is just picture of the sky and grass or wuteva. They can at least crop the picture!! Its retarded.

I agree, T3HKMAN....I mean..we've got a spot ino our profiles for that sorta info.

I mean it's nice to show off..but some people list every single little mod they've made such as what color their windshield wipers are and stuff like that.

It's just a pain in the buttocks, I think. I'm glad it just wasn't me....

It's even more annoying when the message consists of one word (or the little guy holding up the 'Werd' sign) and the sig is 15 times as long as the message.

If you use Opera for your web browser, you can tell it not to load images on a page, that helps a little. You can do this in IE too, but it's more involved and harder to toggle on and off.

this is exactly why my sig is the way it is.
