Well, we've been somewhat obvlivious to the fact that many people have had signatures far bigger in both pixel size and file size then they really should. It's gotten to the point where it's just disruptive and annoying to normal forum use to view certain signatures. Honestly, if you your sig is over 500kb, It's not meant to be a sig. Plain and simple.
We've always had signature rules, but they never really have been enforced. Starting now, there will be a few day grace period for those that have sigs outside the bounds of these rules. You'll have the oppertunity to remove your sig and swap it with a smaller version or something different infraction-free. However, After 3 day's we'll start infracting for oversized sigs along with the removal of it.
Quote:
Signature Rules- No signature bigger than 500x150 pixels.
- 4 lines of text maximum, No abuse of MASSIVE font size or a infraction/ban will be given.
- Your Signature can be no larger than 500KB.
- A combined height of images is OK. ie: Two 500x75 pixel images stacked within the sig is allowed
- No adult conent, i.e. porn.
- Don't advertise your sites, blogs, or anything like that. You can have your referrals in your signature, but don't have a blogspot or something and link to that, and that links to you referrals.
- Nothing that is meant to be offending another member.

Example sig size:
Anything bigger dosn't fit well in the forum and is just an annoyance to load and scroll through. So don't be suprised if you see your sig missing and replaced with the "signature rules" text next time you post. It will be infraction free for the next 3 days, but if you are purposly putting up oversized sigs, they'll be removed and you'll get an infraction or even a ban.
These rules have been adjusted by myself after talking with Chewy, I've set the limits accordingly, Not him. They are still somewhat lax compared to other forums, so don't complain.
