Instead of staring at them, I curse them. Why people would choose avatars that annoy the daylights out of a certain percentage of other members is troubling, but why MacRumors even permits it is even more bewildering. It remains the only aspect that diminishes my enjoyment of an otherwise great site.
Thank goodness we aren't allowed to have images in sigs...
just out of curiosity, how were you guys doing that with the gifs?

This ones pretty bad... http://battleforums.com/showthread.php?t=112486
And vBulletin does seem to have a hack for image size limiting for sigs. Link Of course it is user made and not official really and I don't know if it works or not since I don't have a license to vBulletin.
While I wouldn't mind a sig bar size img like these... http://siggymaker.gfxedit.com/ img should probably stay off for other reasons.
Holy Crap you aint kidding!!Benjamin said:
I guess if we had to go that way those sig bars wouldn't be a bad choice, their not TOO annoying.Benjamin said:

You can always disable avatars in their entirity or if there is a single avatar that bothers you, some ad blocking software will allow you to block select images. That's what I've done. If an avatar annoys me I block it with an ad blocker... no more annoying avatar!
Woah, dude! And that's only one of many sites like that. How does anybody follow a conversation with all that clutter and distraction?Benjamin said:

That is horrendous.
This post in particular is very impressive. Post to 'stuff' ratio = 1:99.
I quite like those subtle little signature bars you linked to, and I know mine would be subtle and beautiful
, but I can see the page being more distracting with them on. When I see some of the revolting effects people can get with plain text, I hate to think what they would be like in picture form. This might be one of my favorite features on MacRumors actually. Images in sigs make a site look first of all, IMO, under developed and second, they are indeed annoying. Even smilies in sigs annoy me. Forums are for chatting and sigs are for showing off whatever you're chatting about with text.

What if MacRumors allowed signature images but you could have at most one image and it had to be exactly 1 pixel high? What could people do with that?
I imagine that they could use a solid-color bar, a dotted or dashed line, a pretty gradient, or a message in Morse Code. What else?
And how much more could they do if it was 2 pixels high?
This isn't a proposed change. I'm just curious what people might think of.

I'd be interested in a 1-2 pixel limit for images in sigs simply because I'd be curious how quickly I could hack my way around it...
