Can I just say to all you big men with big connections, that I may as well win the award for the Slowest Internet Connection at ZFGC, with a speed that may as well be dial-up. And, I'll have you know, that I have had no trouble in the past loading images greater than 200 pixels, or larger than 300kb. You'll find that images that are "heavy" on the kbs don't slow down the loading of the text in the posts, or the loading of the page for that matter, and I rarely struggle to load any page on ZFGC ever, as much as I struggle to load say, a page at IGN or a movie at YouTube. And to be honest, this new rule regarding signature restrictions hasn't made the slightest difference for my connection, and you (the staff) may want to consider revising this rule.
I create this thread for the input of the other dial-uppers on the forum, should there be any, as well as anyone who has been even slightly bothered by this rule.
