The reason why we have signature limits

[Madame Adequate]

TOPIC #2: Have you ever left a forum because something about it irritates you (in this case, obnoxiously short posts and obnoxiously long signatures that makes the page load really slow)?

There's one forum I left because the users were mostly either zealous nutcases who wouldn't let things go, or idiots who judged situations without wanting to know the details. There are a few members I miss, but eh.

And I left FFR because it fell apart.

There was one forum I left because the owner was horrible at picking staff members. :P It was for a fighting game, and instead of picking moderators who would be good at keeping the forum running smoothly, he picked ones based entirely on their knowledge of the game for some reason. This ended up with one emotionally-unstable rageaholic, one creepy pedophile who seemed to want to be everyone's cool uncle, and one horrible, horrible /b/-tard. It was pretty bad

Here, FG, /b/, /v/, and /r9k/ (in that order)

Forums with too many rules suck. I registered at ACF to troll but everyone was so serious about everything I never returned.

For topic #2, Fool's Gold lawl

I frequent EoFF, my board (just some friends posting mostly), ASC, and the Alientrap (game development) forums. Sometimes I look in at GHF but not that often.

So I joined the DoujinStyle forums today, because...um... I felt like acting like more of a wapanese than usual. However, I don't think I'll be sticking around long, because they apparently don't have sig limits. Because of this, even on a speedy connection, the pages load extremely slow compared to EoFF-- who am I kidding, this site makes MySpace look fast. For example:



Two of those images are animated, and the entire signature is freaking ugly. It takes up the whole damn page! So while this moron posts 1 word in his post, his sig still takes up the whole page. And this isn't the only example-- every thread I've visited so far has massive signatures and tiny posts. I know I can turn signatures off and such, but then I wouldn't be able to see my one-image signature. (I like my signature picture.)

Edited so the picture isn't stretchy ~hero

It wouldn't look so bad if you used the EoFF classic skin.

[The Unknown Guru]

I'm active on the Wizards.com forums and here, but that's about it. I also tend to join forums for games I'm currently playing, but I always leave after I quit playing the game.

[Araciel]

I used to post on Wizards.com but those guys are far too serious for me for the most part.

EOFF is the only place I call home.

[Shlup]

I've never been consistantly active at any forum but this one. None have been interesting enough to keep my attention.

It's not about that. You're stretching the tables with the image. And by all accounts, I'm pretty sure he does use classic.

[XxSephirothxX]

EoFF and NeoGAF, though I lurk more at the latter.

Most forums that are lax enough to allow such massive signatures and the like are pretty obviously crappy in a lot of other ways, too. I've never posted at one, but I've looked at plenty.

You've been around GHF for a good while.

GHF is most of my forum life now. I come by here in spurts, and it is currently an fairly active spurt. tGA also in spurts.

For topic #2, Fool's Gold lawl

Yes. xD

[chaos_ghost]

I was active here and at ranger-power until I left the internet. Now it's here and that's about it.

I remember when I joined this one forum (I think it was Mortal Kombat related) I posted the entire lyrics to a song and a pretty big picture of my favorite adult star in my sig and no one said a thing. I mean come on! I did it just to see what they'd say, and no one said a damn thing! I knew then it wasn't the place for me.

[Kirobaito]

I am an active member of three forums other than EoFF. I've been a member of Jamey Newberg's Texas Rangers Forum for about three years. I've been a member of Mavtalk for about 4, and Dallas-Mavs.com for less than two.

[oddler]

I'm only actually active at EoFF and another forum that's pretty... well, pretty.

[Breine]

I'm only active here at EoFF. Some years ago I was also somewhat active at a Buffy fan board (yes! :P). But let's face it, even though I'm a big fan of the show you can only talk about it that much, and so I left it.
