Cool, at least someone is paying attention. The thing about the promotional aspect is - do these parties not get promoted to high heaven on here ANYWAY? I don't reckon that any user will go to the lengths required to create a mahossive signature promoting their wares, and not post them elsewhere, as an individual thread, on this foum and others. That's why it comes across as some kind of trophy, and self "big-upness" and I think that stinks. Promoting the notion that showing all that you do, all the time, is unhealthy, and will eventually lead to bad blood and competetiveness from fellow board members when there is no need for it.

Not to mention the previous reasons I mentioned- perhaps a size regualtion would be a good start.
ok, no disrepect here mate but you have only been a member here for a short time, while i can understand most of the points your making idont agree with this trophy/big-upness comment at all, everyone on here i know is pretty passionate about what there doing and i do think have a right to stick a banner on a forum advertising ther work, i dont see it as being a trophy at all and you can never have to much publicity for something as im aware of how hard it is to keep thigs going these days.

I think that a size reduction/limit to a banner is a good idea to speed things up and banners that arent doing anything other than looking nice possibly removed (random images etc/mine included) but i think we should see the majority of the boards views first.

I understand how it mustslow things down on a 56k modem also
