Yeah but he's been suspended how many times and shown up under how many aliases? I dunno. Either AD has technical issues, or we have some very forgiving mods.

 

That's why I think there's a problem with AD! I just this minute PM'd him, but it wouldn't let me reply from within his PM! But it would let me start a new PM!

Might just take a while for that restriction to take effect.

 

Sam,
Maybe, but it sure is strange, especially when he said you couldn't PM someone who is banned, and I've done it twice now. Try it! I don't see any point of banning him for his way of writing things. I'm an old guy of 65, and I understand him just fine! Maybe someone complained. If they did they should have PM'd him first, at the very least and asked WDF! In fact I'll start the Chant right now!

Bring back Shaffaaf!

I personally don't want to see him lost as a member, as I think he is a valuable one!

Russ

 

Agreed. From the message from ddp it looks like they only intended to suspend him, but somehow he's ended up banned. A permaban for this though isn't remotely fair.

 

Well...I certainly hope they get it figured out LOL! I have a great deal of respect for shaff. He obviously knows his stuff LOL!

What a shame the limit on sig size is 50Kb-ish. I can think of multiple things i'd like to do, if I just had another 50-100Kb! But thats not what the site is about. Perhaps one day, when 50Kb is looked at like its next to nothing. Meaning that Internet bandwidth is extremely high, and not even youtube bottlenecks Yah, RIGHT! Be a while before that happens LOL! Though ive heard that there are places over sea's that are significantly ahead of us(United states) on that front...

 

If you saw what some people have when there's no sig size limit, you'd be glad it's there. Trust me.

 

Indeed! Its pretty wrong when a signature is exceeding the size of a post. Or is just plain distracting.

 

As awesome as your Warp engine is, it is distracting.

 

are you kidding me? I thought it was small enough to go unnoticed for the most part. No joke. If you believe its too much though...I will adjust it accordingly. Fact of the matter is, I was merely messing around, Having fun with Adobe Fireworks. I have a new idea anyway. It wont be up much longer. Much like a wallpaper, I become board with my signature. Until I find that PERFECT signature anyway LOL!

 

It's not oversized, it's just that animated signatures are genrally a distraction, especially if you're reading a long post...

 

Well...you can thank Creaky's sig for getting me started! LOL! His is the most awesome .Gif ive seen yet! You are right. The animation can be a distraction. There are loads more skills I need to pick up with Photoshop. Perhaps i'll attempt to implement a new found skill in my next sig. Anime free of course

Sorry about off topic

 

I don't really think it's illegible, or that he does it to take the proverbial, he's just a really lazy typist and because of it, his posts are more difficult to read than others, but hardly hard.

 

Lol, probably not. Ah well, we shall see.
