Is this the future of PCRPG and TRPG???

Yeah just a teensie bit smaller would be nice.  Black-Ice's is also kinda big.
Ugh, can u imagine if this became like Albinoblacksheep.com forums and people had sigs that were like... 6-8 inches long?

Not really. It is average sized just a little bit more height then widgth. Are we becoming picky now Darwin?  

[Darwin]

Yeah I guess so.  I dunno.  Height normally takes more space anyway *not volume wise, but you get the picture*

That's your pixel number Black-Ice.
That is 36 or 37 KB... which is quite a bit for a 56K connection which on-average will download a website image between 2 and 8 KB per second.


Because Fried has fewer colors in his image, it is only 19 or 20 KB.
His pixel number total is also;
150*534
78600

Over all your image is greater in data storage size and greater in visual space than the image Fried is using.

Darwin, your stats are as follows:
21 or 22 KB
500*118
59000

Over all, Darwin has the smallest signature size pixel wise, but has a slightly higher data storage size than Fried.

Of the images you all three have, Fried has the smallest in Data Size, which makes his the most efficient to download and display data wise.  Black-Ice has the most data storage, and is thus the most download and display intensive data wise.

Darwin comes up in the middle as far as data efficiency, but has the most compact visual field of pixels being used.


I would say that all three of you have signatures that are kind of large to download and display.  It is up to Particle, Ozzy or Pecker to decide on this matter, not us.


In my own personal opinion, all of your pictures do take up a large slice of the visual field, and quite a bit of bandwidth for the 56K and below users.

I reccomend all 3 of you reduce your signature picture sizes as it will best benefit the community while still providing us with a visual representation of your personal signatures.

Peace.

You rock Alc, the way you lay things out is very logical and easy to read.  Very good flame warrior.    

But dont forget about internet cache.  After you have pulled the picture up, shouldnt it be cached on the hard drive so that it can be pulled up faster?

*edit*
I have just reduced my signature down to 13 kilobytes.

*edit again*
doh wth, it was 13kb on my disk, then when i re-download it from my host, it shoots back up to 20+ kb.

[UnderGod]

Yes, but some people clean out their temporary files frequently to make their pc run smoother.

[Darwin]

Yeah I just cleaned mine out last night.   I had 400+ mb of temporary internet files.

[Silvanoshei]

Uh... Holy malarkey?

[Darwin]

Yeah, seriously.  My 30 gig HDD was down to 2 gb so I did a little bit of cleaning.

Also tweaked it where it boots within seconds and made it where it only uses the swap file only when needed.

[Silvanoshei]

Why? You're willing to succumb to BIOS/CMOS vulnerability and susceptibility to hard drive access for a few seconds of load time?

Neil... You shoudl seriously remove that signature picture from your signature... some one is playing a trick on you.

(read the thin text on the right hand side of your signature picture man)

It acually says neil made this and boris is gay, but i blured out boris cuz that fag kept on getting pissed.

[Darwin]

Uh, no?  I did this:

Boot XP faster

1. Open notepad.exe, type "del c:\windows\prefetch\ntosboot-*.* /q" (without the quotes) & save as "ntosboot.bat" in c:\
2. From the Start menu, select "Run..." & type "gpedit.msc".
3. Double click "Windows Settings" under "Computer Configuration" and double click again on "Shutdown" in the right window.
4. In the new window, click "add", "Browse", locate your "ntosboot.bat" file & click "Open".
5. Click "OK", "Apply" & "OK" once again to exit.
6. From the Start menu, select "Run..." & type "devmgmt.msc".
7. Double click on "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers"
8. Right click on "Primary IDE Channel" and select "Properties".
9. Select the "Advanced Settings" tab then on the device 0 or 1 that doesn't have 'device type' greyed out select 'none' instead of 'autodetect' & click "OK".
10. Right click on "Secondary IDE channel", select "Properties" and repeat step 9.
11. Reboot your computer.

fork 56k user's. I could care less, I like my sig.

(I think I spelled that right... oh well)

Hey, a lot of the people who are still playing tribes are 56kers.  Hersh was on 56K last time I asked, and that's because he can't get any better connection in his area.  Hersh contributes much to the community as well.  He is just one example of a possible many who it would be in a good interest of ours to support.

But I suppose it is up to you and the admins! ! ! :-)

[neil]

lol i'm a 56ker, when some gardeners were installing the sprinklers in my front yard, they "purposly" cut my cable line. I LIVE WITHOUT CABLE, OR CABLE INTERNET!!!

[Particle]

My signature is about the longest anybody's should be.  They can be a hundred pixels wider or so but preferably smaller than mine.

Isnt it illegal to dig up a yard without gvmt appoval or whatever?  They can completely cut off electricity accidentally by severing a line.  I think you should call your cable company and see if you can get this problem fixed.
