I like the sigs (don't use them myself), especially 'the_heart_attack' ones, I'm not sure whether to play Bf2 or rush down to the beach (which would be silly, it's freezin' in the UK), although I do understand the 'loads on the machines'. But it's your site, you do what you think is best for speed and performance I'm just pleased there's somewhere to come for 'reasonably sensible' conversations.
it shouldnt be a problem, but at work and whatnot it is. thankfully i dont have a problem with video game images at my work, but the porn-ish stuff is a nono. which is why im annoyed somewhat that the only recourse i appear to have is to turn off all sigs or i have to view 400+ pixel images of softcore and kiddie porn lookin crap.Krappyappy wrote:
i think the most annoying thing is the oversized sigs. as long as people keep it small and within the content limits of the site, it's not so bad.
the 'softcore porn' sigs from tehsig.com are prevalent because it's a large part of the culture from those forums. again, as long as they're small and show no 'unacceptable nudity' [nipples, pubic hair, sexual organs] then there should be no objection. it's no worse than what's on cable tv, after all.
of course i'm biased...
i wouldnt be against either some rules against excessive size or the porn sigs. most forums have rules regarding sig images, usually seems to be for good reason or it gets crazy outta control and then you have people posting 800pixel images and kiddie porn, etc.

Chuy, I have always preferred your sigs to any out there I could find. Have you considered having a sig that is one HTML link instead of four.chuyskywalker wrote:
Sigs
These were killing my machine. I have reworked them 4 times now, and each time the load has lessened, but still put my machine way, WAY above what it out to have been. It was too the point, recently, that people were not able to access the site because of the load.
Considering that I am going to implement the Ranking system (sort of as a trade-off) and that other sites out there are doing a far better job than I at providing sigs, BF2S is going to step aside in this arena.
More to come as I celebrate the holidays and get my coding on. Happy holidays!
edit Oh yeah, since sigs are leaving, I may turn avatars and take out the image tag in the sigs. Opinions?[/i]
Loved the clean easy to read sigs you had, but this is your site. I however respectfully disagree that others are doing a better job then you.
Have a Merry Christmas and enjoy your holiday break.
Your are my BF2 stats hero, keep up the great work.
Edit: OK, I guess this Hypernia sig will be ok, [sigh]. A bit busy but does contain a lot of info and blends with your forum nice..

Have you seen the BF2s replacement sig template I made for tehsig? It may be to your liking...DakotaDoc64 wrote:

Way to go Chuy!!!
My sig for the moment then:
>>>BF3 Central<<<
have done that, but were using the sigs aswell, ah wellchuyskywalker wrote:
Use the My Leader Board page for doing that. You can get it set up with all the members of your clan, then share the link out. You'll even be able to sort the players by the various columns on that page.[OvC]_AMD_Man wrote:
with our clan we have on page with each members BF2S sig on, to compare
imo the BF2S sigs are the best ones i've seen, tehsig ones are ok, and the BF2S lookalike one isn't that bad, but it's just not the same
anyway, merry christmas everyone
Have a beer on me dude!! good work and merry xmas!!!
Why dont you say "Permanently" instead of "Tempoaraly"?. I am talking about where the sigs used to be.
EDIT-- Yes i know i spelles Tempoarly wrong.

I swear my stats are not updating properly at the moment...
happy christmas, hope you have a good one.. I agree with all the above, your sig's were by far the coolest
Oh my! I can't believe the number of people bitching about Chewy getting rid of the sigs. I think that since he does all the work, the we should all support him. He definatly produces an outstanding product. Chewy I salute you. Great job! Keep up the good work and do what you want....I will support you!
That depends on the application. For my purposes - displaying and giving out sigs to my gaming group (clan) members, tehsigs doesn't work because you have to have a unique email address based account for every sig, and quite honestly you have to have the time and inclination to care about coding their sig. Now, some folks here have been nice enough to give out their cool sig codes, but many in my clan aren't all that computer literate, etc.midgetspy wrote:
No offence to chuy, but the sigs on this site were 10x worse than the sigs offered by other sites (read: tehsig).
Also, I really liked having the different stats and awards sigs. Using chuy's xml stats feed, I was able to create a clan stats sig, but it was nice to have just the simple awards (badges, medals, etc) sig. Heck, I even created our clan stats sig to have the same width as the BF2s.com sigs
The hypernia/tehsigs sigs are neat, since they can be customized, etc. But for my clan's purposes they aren't very helpful. And thus far I have yet to find any sigs out there that don't require registration and/or programming.
Also, I like how Chuy had different sigs for stats and awards (as mentioned above, I formatted our clan's sig - see below - so that we could use our custom stats sig and bf2s.com's awards sig in conjunction with each other)

I'm really going to miss the Global Ranking stuff. I agree it was kind of pointless with the kits, but I liked it in the weapons section. I'd be interested to know how the new ranking system will work.
Well we kept the sigs!
Why the hell did you necro this thread? It's from 8 months ago ffs!
