I believe that's what Hitler said to the Jews.

In any case, a 460x60 banner is no less distracting than a 468x60 banner.

We drew the line there. Easy as that.

Compairing a banner to mass murdering a race is a horrible example.


Here do this: go speed around town 25 above the speed limit, and when pulled over, try to argue they don't have the right to have laws because you don't like them.

One of the best remarks of the week. :P

And yes, I think it is a great rule and should be there. Heck, I would like the size of all images to be REDUCED to about the size of Blue Ire's sig.

The Hitler comment wasn't meant to justify my reasoning behind why the banner rule is completely arbitrary and stupid, but to show how arrogant and belittling Bazza's statement was.

Dense much?

Actually, I did make that rule to annoy people! The thing is, everyone buys 468x60 banners and eveyone would have used them in their sigs, the whole idea was to change the size slightly so that 90% of people would be like "ah, I can't be bothered to resize it" or whatever.....and it worked.

Fero's-Mate u make it seem like its a huge deal, Its not.

Robson-Like i told fero it doesnt bother me that its a rule i just mainly wanted to know if it was changed cause alot of people are still using 468x60 but it doesnt look like it cause they are making the background of the banner the same colors as this forum.

It's not. But the problem with this forum is the arbitrary rules and the "shut up and get in line" attitude of the greens.

Editted to be more tactful (I think)
