The reason why we have signature limits

[Momiji]

So I joined the DoujinStyle forums today, because...um... I felt like acting like more of a weeaboo 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.)

TOPIC #1: What other forums are you active at?
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)?

Edited so the picture isn't stretchy ~hero

Currently, EoFF and Twilight of Heroes, the latter being a small forum owned by Huxley's friends.

I used to be active at a few others, but I got bored with them and/or people started to treat me less than kindly, so I thought it'd be more appropriate to leave.

I used to poast at philosophyforums but stopped. And some other forums I'm not telling you guise >:P

[Vermachtnis]

EoFF, WtW, MedMaroki

Been to a couple of forums where people take things way, way too seriously.

[Psychotic]

Just EoFF and Something Awful, although I do lurk at a Liverpool forum during the season too. Plus the secret domain. But I shall not speak of that dark place. Not at this time.

I went to some other FF place once, someone had a Rikku wallpaper as a signature. A wallpaper.

I am about as active at Fool's Gold as I am at EoFF: not very.

[Bahamut2000X]

EoFF, GHF, CNC, to an extent GFF (since I am a mod there, but it's a fairly dead forum now >.>).

I used to be a member at this one religious forum. They banned me before I even got to make a post.

To date though there's few forums I really post on without a good reason (CNC I post on because it's the one for my Ninjutsu dojo) because I find the people or rules obnoxious. I much prefer my EoFF and GHF fixes, some of the only forums that looked good and could hold my attention span long enough.

EoFF, GHF and a few near dead forums. Good times are had all over.

[Tavrobel]

ModsByLaz, Battle.net Forums (no posts), and TDA Forums (currently crash'd). I check a TRC forum for the scanlations updates and manga schedule.

Nope. I only go to forums when they interest me. All except the last are active, which suffered a recent server plox and moved.

You didn't invite me in April. I spent the whole of April weeping and licking my Linkin Park posters.

Sometimes I poke around some other random forums when I'm bored, but this is really the only one I come to regularly.

I remember a newbie thread where someone had an 800x600 wallpaper they'd found as their signature, and they were offering to make more if anyone wanted one. :P

I've only really committed to three forums my whole internet life.

The first board I ever went to was Pokemon Trading Cards Online. I was eleven when I came here, and I thought all anime was lame except for Sailor Moon because I assumed all of it was like Pokemon. The games were pretty neat, though, so I joined. I didn't like the rules. You couldn't post a link to anything. Any link that's outside of PTCO was considered advertising. I got banned for two weeks for linking someone to some stuff they were looking for, because I didn't want to copy and paste the whole darn table. Threads I made that said something like: "OMG I love Apocalyptica they are so neat! I like them way better than Linkin Park. Does anyone around here listen to them?" were closed because they were "spam." I still hung around, though...but they started to die, and I started posting in EoFF a little more, and I haven't posted there in about a year
Signature and avatar limits were kind of small...but that's understandable.

Right now I just post at EoFF (my forum home as I call it) and Court Records. I'm still in my newbie phase at CR, though

Turn signatures off. That's what I do. Creativity pisses me off.

This is about the only forum I go to. I lurk around the WoW Deathwing/Draka forums and occasionally the class forums as well but that's about it.

TOPIC #1: What other forums are you active at?

Besides from here, I lurk around and post occasionally an unofficial Everton (the football club I support) forum, Fool's Gold (as ever a bastion for great debate, thought and Rabites) and that's about it. Occasionally posted at this forum for the Eragon books; I've never read them but I tended to have quite different opinions on current affairs and topics of debate than they did, so it was usually quite fun to debate with them, even if they aren't the brightest or maturest bunch of people in the world. Though initially I did spam a fair bit. I hold a continued grudge against the forum because they ignored my thread suggesting that Sean Connery appearing in the Eragon film (which I've never seen) would've drastically improved it.

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)?

I don't think so, no. I stopped posting around Delphi forums because they wanted you to pay for all the features that made the place tolerable and also because activity died down a bit. The place just looks so basic and worn now compared to how interesting it looked in about 2002 when I was 13.
