Levak: I don't think anyone is going to "hate" you over your opinion! I think its a good thing that you brought it up to keep the signatures in check. I realized that I really didn't need two videos in my signature I also realized that not everyone has the fastest internet speed (especially after looking through the post your speed topic) and crazy sigs might really get annoying! I remember when I had to use my cell phone to connect to the internet. No 3g, just my iden phone plugged into my computer and I only had close to dial up speeds, images were not an option
Question: On the new board, would some sort of AJAX spoiler tags be feasible, so that the spoiler content doesn't load until expanded?I also wonder if sig lenght and file size detection would be hard to implement when people change their sig (although file size detection would be easy to circumvent, as the user could upload an 1 KB GIF somewhere then once the sig is edited, replace it with a much larger one)? That way you could get rid of scrollbars, which can be a little annoying when scrolling through pages using a mousewheel.
There was also the episode with signature chatrooms, where there was a site letting you create shoutboxes that showed up in a JPG or PNG then display it in sigs. Some Omni haters at the time used them to circumvent Omni rules by trolling in those chatrooms instead of the forums.
