Why aren't images allowed in the signature? It would be cool if it were possible. It wouldn't really waste Bungie's bandwidth since these images are going to be hosted by another hosting website.

shhhhhhh

Probably because no one can be trusted, with the average age and maturity of the users on this site, someone will slip in inappropriate pictures.

Yes, why not let people link to poster-sized weak attempts of combining the Master Chief and their own ass (or the nearest available ass) into a collage?

Some questions answer themselves.

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

And, I hate pictures in Signatures. It's way to distracting. And some are huge!

I should've saved that quote from Achronos. Grrrr. I wish I had. Perfect for right now, and it was hilarious. I'm sure someone else will post it. But, for now, just read what Shishka said.

Have you ever been to a forum where they have pics in sigs. OMG they all piss me off so much taking up space and all

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

I'm doing this from memory; I didn't save it, so here goes:
No, because I know one of the first things uploaded would be a 1600x800 picture of the member's own ass. That is why images will never be allowed as long as I'm here.

It's probably significantly wrong, but that was the gist of it. I think.
Even if we could trust the Community to not upload pr0n, I really hate it on other forums when people have these huge lame pictures that they made with their weak Photoshop skills. The same goes with being able to post images. Imagine the horrible things a malicious user could do with image sigs...The moderators already have enough work to do, forcing them to occasionally get a glimpse of Tub Girl would be too much for them to take.

What's wrong with that?

The fact that it is called ASCII "art".

Anything in ASCII that is neither poetry nor prose is most likely NOT art.

I think it's a masterpiece! (what is it anyways?)

The other sites I have been on have pics allowed in sigs, I haven't seen them abused yet, although there not bungie.

I hate sigpics, they just become a competition on who can do the most over the top .gif animations and who can overuse the blur and glow tools on photoshop the most. They're ugly and clutter up the forums. Not to mention out of the first 1000 sigpics, there would be sure to be some obscene picture, if not a 1600x1200 image of that individual's own ass. My camera can go waaaaay higher than 1600x1200.

If there are 30 posts on one page and everybody has a picture in their sig. then it would have to load 30 pictures, which is going to take a while for Dial-Up users. And it would take up alot of space on the pages.

Bungie forums are clean.... Keep them that way...

I'm not that active, but never dead.

Becuase a picture is a thousand words and the word limit is 500.

That's why.

I'll be on my own side.

Maybe it could be allowed if the mods had some sort of option to remove an offensive picture?
