This. I don't mean to be rude, and I'm a relative newb on these boards, but in general for forums it is bad form to have a sig that is on average 2x longer than your posts, including the quotes in your posts. And further on this board you aren't even supposed to have a sig until you get a paid membership, so don't "cheat" the system.... a basic membership is like $10 per year, then you will be able to have a real sig within the rules.
I wasn't trying to make a massive sig, but on forums I belonged to previously the norm was 500x200, granted most of those were graphic design forums. As far as "cheating the system" goes, I'm not the only "offender" on this part, and I didn't see anything that said it wasn't allowed. OD (orangish duct tape [correct me if I misspelled that]} and Sam Hell also have signatures they manually paste in, and are also unpaid members. And trust me, I will be upgrading to gold or platinum when I can, but if it offends everyone that much then I will stop posting with my sig and I will take it down on every post that has it.
