Performa Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 in my own opinon, i dont really mind when someone's sign are getting too long as long as it doesnt start making this BBS loading slow even with broadband Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Originally posted by Terry S Totally agree Seconded! But I'm still keeping mine - it gives me something to read! In fact I think I will make it longer! And put up all my hobbies / cars / girlfriends / favourite positions etc.... List all the mods List all the mods that I want to do Those I cant afford / those that Fred down the road is doing for me With a huge pic of the car from front / rear / side etc C'mon guys - I mean I know @sh (bless him!) went a bit overboard before but this path does then endanger ANY individuality!

CJ Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Well, seeing as the more informed among us have let it be known that the text in the sig does not slow down the loading times etc, all I can say is Who Gives a Shit? I mean FFS guys, is it really that much of an issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 pffft - bits then and an absolute maximum of 57,600bps (yes I know its higher than rated) Was simply trying to put it in a way that all would understand, regardless of knowledge on the subject. and for those not content with that 1kilobyte = 1024bytes, 8bits = 1byte and depending on compression, latency and frequency you can obtain speeds in excess of your "bandwidth" or modem limitation, you can also shotgun your modems to give a theoretical speed of 115,200bps. If you are on a v.92 modem then the above speeds are all accurate, if not then you may only get a speed of ~45-55000bps due to the different standard used by the modem itself and its compression ratio's Forgive me if my original post confused anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Forgot to add that my previous statements were based on standard home-ISP common practice, anyone (like me) billed at the 95%ile may have a burstable pipeline that could boost up to 35gbps on a standard OC256 and that speed/billing on a 95th percentile connection would be based on mean usage and not on minimum/maximum unsustainable rates. Wouldn't want anybody to feel they had been incorrectly informed now, would I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 either way it's about 5 thousand characters of text a second on a 56k dialup but I agree that big fat sigs with massive writing filling half the screen can be a bit of an eye sore As can poor punctuation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 the problem with big sigs is the actual size of them, they can be larger than the post somebody is making in some cases. People tend to get round that by using a much smaller font than normal which is my preference. The traders using BIG fonts seems to be tit-for-tat, if the traders and performance tuners can just check their own sigs and if theres a way to avoid the BIG text please do.
