That tells us info about people’s mods and stuff so we don’t go calling BS on them.
Some people’s sigs also have nice links that are really helpful.
Some sigs are funny.
Pictures on the other hand, do nothing for me and take much more time to load than text does.

I guess Kev will see how it goes. It may or may not be the image loading, since images are pulled off another site and not the .orgy server. I've noticed that some people here have rather large sigs characterwise that exceed several thousand characters, and these people might be causing more lag on the server than the images, but we'll see. For example, if your sig is only 200 characters that's not bad. But I know of at least one person here that has a 4000+ character sig. That's a lot!
I can't think of who that was, though.

I agree. The pics load off other servers, it has nothing to do with the maxima.org server busy messages. I understand that it forces people to download pics, no matter bandwidth and that could be bad. Someone go yell at the vBulletin maintainers to make this a user specific option, or use better software. Personally, I like seeing many of the images, but I don't use dialups unless im deperate.
