I just realized this after I went to try and attach the signature I made. Well, here it is anyway.



Why can't we attach signatures?

because then 5 thousand members each have a signature will explode guild wars guru's bandwidth... i think, a guess., besides theres a thread where you get to post you siggy, in the absurds part of the forum.

You can if you become a paying member. That sig would be too big anyway.

I'm a member of a forum that is hosted by it's administrator without a donation system even working and they have almost 600,000 members. They have a lite surf option, but you can use avatars and signatures.

Also, what's an ecton?

2) How am I not following the Guru's rules?
3) If you ever bought gold then you would know that china people aren't the best at English and misspelled Ecto.

besides, when I'm reading posts, I don't want to have half the page filled up with random pictures. I like it without the sigs.

I don't know about that other forum you're a member of but I'm guessing it isn't nearly as active as this one is. No, it wouldn't "explode" it but it would make it extremely laggy.

People get very uptight about gold buying. I never brought it up in the first place, so don't blame me. Once again with the numbered list.
1) I don't care.
2) Anet doesn't care.
3) I'm banned, go for it.
4) I don't have any characters.

Easy solution if you hate pages with cluttery signatures, you make a lite surf option that disables the showing of avatars/avatars and signatures/ or displays everything.

image signatures are one of the dumbest ideas to ever hit forums. It invariably becomes a mess of wasted bandwidth, wasted space, unnecessary scrolling and annoying animated images of Sasuke overlaid with stupid "profound" text like: "fate" & "my will is god"

ugh.. hate sigs..

I'll help you out now, but not again. Pay attention! Look at the first person to mention gold? It wasn't me was it? Well, it is and isn't. I had to answer trankle's question about what an "Ecton" was. Then Knives ask if I bought gold. I'm very proud of you that you don't care about my characters, I don't care about yours either. Anet doesn't care, they want wheelbarrows full of green and that's it.

ugh.. hate sigs.. Signatures are usually hosted by another site then just put in your signature... I'm confused how that wastes a lot of bandwidth. I think it's on the users part that it wastes if any bandwidth.

All of those characters appear to be from the official wiki.

Your not a mod. Anet doesn't care, many people can tell you that. They care that people will spend money on their game, obviously. I knew I bought gold, I said I bought gold, I also knew I was banned. Where are you trying to go with this?

Who cares who brought it up? The point is you did something illegal. Yes, illegal, not just against EULA.
btw, if you don't care what "product" are you selling for 500 "ectons"?

The bandwidth it's even that big of a problem, it's wasting space on the forum with useless things.

Now, I'm not saying that allowing signatures on Guru will cause this to happen overnight, but it can have a detimental affect on how people browse the site (particularly the Screenshot Forum Threads).

I personally have never liked image signatures, but text ones are alright. Nice little quotes from movies or books can be found in those.

Your bandwidth cap is 5kb? I'm sorry to hear that. I'll share some bandwidth with you if you want.

who cares if he admitted to buying gold? its got nothing to do with the topic of this thread. and I would like to add that people seem to have a bad case of holier than thou attitude on this forum. Anet seems to have given a lot of people a gold star cut out of shiny paper with sherif of guild wars written on it with a sharpie.

Should have saved the cash you spent on the FoW, and become a l33t guru.

Signatures cause problems on many forums.

Many people use image rotators, or flash, or animated gifs, or .bmp, or outright full screen sized images.

Then you need people to police the signatures...

Edit: Your signature as posted above would violate the signature rules on all the forums that I am personally a member of that allow signatures.

It's far too high and too big in file size.

Bad trolling.

Can I buy some ectons? I have none. Do you take Mastercard? I have an American Express, but it's a bit fat

You're wrong sir, I bought exactly 100k which was about a couple bucks at the time. I would never buy that much gold just to get Obsidian. l33t guru is what you desire, not me.

Then you need people to police the signatures... Clicking the report button or simply sending the member a pm is a lot of work. A mod can simply remove it and leave a message. They can also pop something up on first registers that warn them not to use rotators.
