Don't really care one way or the other. I'm happy that I won't have to see stupid GIFs anymore, though.

You could just turn sigs off, or there is always adblock+.
hell you even block users whole posts with it if you wanted.
I told you to go seek out answers the other day since it was obvs no one other then our OT mods would be checking up on it. dave123321
If a thread is posted in OT I shouldn't have to go seek out anything. A thread was posted in OT. So I asked my question there.

Someones upset. Going to miss your GIFs?
Nah brah. I got em saved so I can see em whenever. I just felt like pointing out that ad blocker is unfortunately beyond your comprehension. It's ok though. We can't all be up to date. I could help you out though. Ot bros gotta stick together and help out the less able.[QUOTE="konvikt_17"]

Doesn't change the fact that an official thread was made and has been ignored ever since.

It's an effort I'm not willing to make, actually.

Your 4 .gifs alone break the 1MB rule. There is one that someone has around here that is over 10MB and I seem to recall a couple that were in the 13MB range. Those of you who cannot follow the rules have brought it upon yourselves (though a change in software helps too).Â

I think it is largely due to the issue air has. Namely that they don't communicate the rules to the forums all that much directly. You have to seek issues out. Which is why many here are unaware of the 1mb rule[QUOTE="dave123321"]What should be isn't what isairshocker

And there was always an option to turn sigs off completely, so if bandwidth usage was an issue, you wouldn't have to worry about images appearing in sigs. It was an issue brought up for no apparent reason that was completely avoidable under the current system.

Then why inform us at all if they're just going to forget about it?

Waaaaaaaaaaaahhh.

There really isn't a way to announce this to everyone. However, the bright red bar at the top is definitely eye-catching enough for 13% of people to try clicking on it.

They made that topic word for word in a number of different boards like sw and platform stuff. Think they wanted to cover their base due to the ugliness of everything[QUOTE="dave123321"]That was made by an account called gamespot though.

Like what I told wk about the lack of communication on the 1mb rule to users who only post on a board.

I don't mind sigs, it is how I often tell who is who, I know that Capitan_Kid has 4 obnoxious Gifs in his sig (that I did block though I shouldn't have to). I am not worried about bandwidth usage, I have no limits that I am aware of. The issue I have is some of the places these people have their sigs at like i.minus.com that is exeptionally slow and having those large Gifs takes the page forever to load.

I quite like obnoxious sigs and especially gifs of boobs and whatnot. It makes reading an uninteresting thread more interesting. If you have issues, just use adblock. The website shouldn't try to make your life easier when other people don't care about seeing them. And really, adblock is probably easier than trying to enforce size limitations. Right click on image > select adblock It took me about 4 and a half seconds to block all three images in your sig.

Theres a limit? Well they shoulda said something! My sigs arent that big. Also I didnt bring shit on myself. Dont give me that crap.Yep I saw the banner at the top of the page. To bad gamespots inability to listen to their users has made this forum (and the site in general) a ghost town. ferrari2001Good summation.....

[QUOTE="BranKetra"]What is funny? Boosted activity..... Oh, that? I read some comments about how the new site will look like Giantbomb and some other sites, but I wonder if the look of the site will be enough to keep people away. For example, look at NeoGAF. That site looks very basic and even unappealing compared to other sites like GameSpot's current look, but it has some of the best insider information for gaming on the internet.[QUOTE="konvikt_17"]

Plus it's swIt's faster than OT yes....but slower than it used to be when I frequented it.
After seeing the "new gamespot" look, lol. See ya.
Â
The reason we cant have gif sigs is because.....they're distracting? Distracting from what? What makes them anymore distracting than other sigs? Thats not rational at all GS! Capitan_KidGifs are costly. With the amount of traffic and Gif sigs/posts that Gamespot gets I'm surprised they took this long to cut them since it's been clear for awhile they're not making much of a profit, if any.
Sw is quite fast though, which is why I stopped going because it was hard to keep up. Plus it's swIt's faster than OT yes....but slower than it used to be when I frequented it. Maybe we need to improve ourselves to bring people back. Like that English guy[QUOTE="dave123321"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] GS has been losing users so it seems if OT is any gauge.
