first off, I have posted this message in several other forums.
There is too much bandwidth in the forums!!! This is due to the fact that there is no limit to how many signatures you can have. I have come to see that on average people have roughly three sigs. It takes pretty much the entire computer screen (17inches I think) to read a single sentenced size 12 font post. That is absurd. THE IDEA OF A SIGNATURE IS ONE, UNIQUE MARK THAT YOU LEAVE AT THE END OF A STATEMENT, NOT 2,3,4, OR EVEN 5.
Now back to the problem, all of this excessive bandwidth due to the limitless signature application is leading to SLOWER FORUMS. I don't know about you guys, but when I first registered here when the site was created, it was lightning fast (no joke). But now it seems to take much longer to access the forums, threads and posts.
THERE IS A SOLUTION!!! The council and other admins of the site need to put a signature limit on the forums. They can do this by seeing on average how much bandwidth a normal signature takes up and limiting that amount of bandwidth to everyones signature application in their profile.
Xiled Gaming is growing. As our community grows, so will the forums. The problem needs to stop now before it gets any worse. I am on a fast computer with a T3 connection, it is still slow, even for me.
Thanks,
