I'm with you on this one as well, Grum!

I really like this forum because it's very clean. So we should keep it this way ... i really hate those frickin forums with 400x800 animated banners + a 20 line signature + a screaming avatar ...

I'm keeping my avatar clean as possible. No rapid movemen and 2 changes. I'm mostly annoyed by constantly moving, oversized avatars to be honest. But I must adimt, mine is more of an eye catcher than I intended. It'll probably switch back to my normal one once people stop with those annoying seasonal avatars.

Grumble: :wink: slightly oversized ... hardly noticeable ;)

Heh the thing i find most annoying is the way grum has "Legend" written under his name! ;) surely that must be a contradiction1 :P

Seriously tho i reckon the avatars are starting to get a bit out of hand with some monstrsities around the forums! Sorry redfang but your avatar is hard on my eyes!

I think its good to keep avatars as i can instantly recognise Norses, Tim's etc but i liked some of the other folks avatars too! I liked Ithilkirs old rat more than the new one tbh!

Ah well my avatar is a simple avatar of a simple man, much like myself :)

I must tidy up my sig, its getting massive... :roll:

Never been a fan of animated avatars or banners in sigs. But also never thought to complain about it I just worry about my own avatar and sig. :wink:
