    Do you guys think you would like to use img tags in your posts as signatures? I think it's a good idea so it can make the forms more intresting. At Madonion.com almost everyone does so it seems to be a good investment. What do you people think?

    I have no interest in it personally nor would it seem to add anything to anyone else's messages. Adding these graphic signatures sounds like it would increase the size of the messages which would slow things down even further on this forum and give Kwun more problems with his bandwith usage.

    i agree with Brett. why slow down the internet even more?

    you must understand, badminton has a huge international interests, there are a lot of readers of this forum coming from SE Asia, Europe, Australia. some of them may be on dialup connection. you are unneccessarily slowing them down.

    and honestly, i don't think the images adds any value to your postings, in fact, i see it more as a distraction. so why do it?

    I'm currrently using a 28.8 connection and I do not really think it's that much slower, especially when the pictures are not even that big of a size.

    i went to the madonion site. and the whole forum is just cluttered by all these completely irrelevent graphics. there are more sig pictures than discussions. i just don't get it.

    Well that site is mainly about computers, so I sort of get what the sigs are about.

    try to make it related to badminton becuase Kwun doesn't want people to abuse it. If you wan tot use other images, go to Madonion.com and talk about computer so you can post any images you want there! REad their rules about it too! lol!
