- must not contain any offensive material. this includes insulting fellow members.
What about insulting yourself?

What about insulting James Dolan, who's depriving me of my constitutional right to watch Mets games on cable?

edit: never mind, all is right in the world again.

Me either. I guess "No insulting other members" means I'll have to remove my tooki bashing sig

tooki-bashing? tooki isn't even mentioned in your sig.

Edit: The new sig looks good, gorickey.



So, are you going to rotate the sig through all his teams? I'd like to see him in a uniform with some blue and orange in it...

Thank you. Hmm, I'll give some thought to the whole "teams" thing; however, I'm not a big fan of the rotating sigs. This is definitely how most remember Rickey anyway...

I really don't like them. They seem too big and unnecessary. They were fine before.

I think so. I'm not trying to break the guidelines, just to make mine a visual horror that will make people want to go back to the old sig sizes. or maybe I'm delllusional and full of myself.

I think 200x40 would be better.

The height is a little too big right now. Maybe 42 or 44

If anything it's a bit too wide.

The height seems fine.

IMHO

I don't mind it at all.

Agreed, the height it really the most noticeable difference.

Pages might be longer since it is a vertical scroll. I like the new guidelines. More pixels.
The old one was too thin. The height is fine to me. Ask Steve Jobs, there might be 73% more pixels than before.

Two of my sigs are taking advantage of the new rules:





In a few days, with my new username, I'm going to introduce this one that also takes advantage of the new rules:
