Vergeltung Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Ah, I don't know man. I have been a part of many of these gaming forums, and sure, some people abuse it with obnoxiously themed (or sized) signatures, etc... But, overall, I think they allow us to put forth a bit of "personality" in this otherwise sterile internet environment. this forum, for example, feels a bit plain and personality-less, for lack of a better word. For example, Mike, even the quickly set up forum for our Meta campaign (I am over there too), allows for avatars and sigs, and is leaps ahead in that regard. Just my 2 pfenigs.

ChrisND Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 That's funny I was thinking about this the other day. It would really be nice to have this, thos forum is a little impersonal as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I think with nearly 25,000 posts we've been treated to more than a bit of Dorosh's personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoolaman Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I like the spartan look of this site, and I don't think BFC want to spend any time messing with forum software. I like the Axis History Forum's take on it, one standard size small avatar image. No images in signatures, no animations allowed anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Hofbauer Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I'm with Dorosh on thisone. But it was inevitable that the TOW-induced influx of 20k RTS kids to these boards would sooner or later contain the request for avatars, signature pics etc. You're ignoring the 56k users. Besides bandwith, it's also cluttering up the overall impression of these boards. Lastly, I have no yearning to see n-th iterations on the 55 Ubertiger paintshop BS theme.

Platoon Crusher Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I like the look as is. I am here to read the info in the pages and to exchange ideas regarding gaming and/or history. Sigs are just a distraction and like M Hofbauer says they eat up bandwidth for peeps with slower connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your bandwidth concern is perfectly valid, so why do you have to throw in baseless insults as well? Last time I checked I haven't seen the word "pwned" thrown around here, so I would say the RTS crowd ISNT here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vergeltung Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 these responses (some of them) just reek of snobbery, and ignorant snobbery at that. psuedo intellectuals and "historians" contemptuous of the "lesser un-washed masses". pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
