Why aren't there any image signatures?

[darkstar_legend]

I've noticed members here don't have image signatures.
Is that a rule or not?
According to the rules thread, signature images can only be 70x70 pixels in dimension.

Does that still stand, or has it been changed.
I need some clarification.

Thanks.

EDIT: Sorry about this. Re-read the rules and realised the image guidline is specific to icons only. Peace.

Some boards where people excessively use image signatures look horrible - sometimes when three people have posted in a thread, it takes up two or three pages on your screen...

Check MYGNR.com and velvetrevolverforum.com , they look horrible.

there are lots of examples out there....

In my opinion, image signatures are OK, as long as they are in banner form, and not excessively huge, and not moving then I think they're OK.

Huge big pictures in signatures are just annoying because you have to scroll down loads JUST to get past the image (because you've seen it a billion times before) and the computer just HAS to slow down shitloads as you're scrolling past it... Fucking computer inventors... can't they invent a computer that just WORKS ALL THE TIME instead of it working fine for the first six months and then suddenly crashing!!?

OK I'll stop now.

I'm pro decent-sized banner form image sigs.

Hell no. Avatars are cool, they're like a form of signature, give you an identity, what you what... But image signatures on the whole are usually unfunny attempts at being funny (they're not funny the first time, how funny are they going to be if you see them every time that somebody like you or I posts), pretentious (artwork) or just damm right stupid (something like 'Guns N' Moses!!' With a photo shopped picture of GNR with Axl replaced with a picture of Moses... I don't know. Something like that). It is super fuck annoying to see the same picture, in between posts, all the time. I can't stand seeing the same picture, photo... whatever... over and over again, especialy seeing as on the whole the will be rubbish new GNR promo attempts. I say keep those shoddy pictures on your desktop, where they belong.

Agreed I hate image signatures, i always on other forums put the option not to watch signatures cause they suck 
For once I agree with Jim old boy

Old boy, eh? Quiet old man! Agreeing with me is a good thing, things only get better from here.
