"If you are going to use one of the FA sigs, use one that is less then 100k in size. Preferably one that is a lot less then that. I have seen some HUGE sigs. This one for example… http://www.followtheangel.org/albums/album03/ug0df9f1.gif It is ONE MEGABYTE!!! lol. Folks we are pushing about as much traffic as a porn site!!! Not to mention when you use huge sigs.. they make the forums lag for everyone!"

*whistles innocently* wonder whose that is....

heh i'll switch to the static img, just delete that one

lol, you must have been like 2 gigs of the taken bandwith with that sig

[likwidtek]

*bump*  You guys...

I changed the path of all those huge sigs to break the links on purpose.  For those of you who just changed your IMG tag to point to the new path .... you are missing the point and defeating the purpose.

You can use the big sigs all you want.  Just sign up here.  http://www.imageshack.us/  Have them host them please not us!!!

It's using TOO MUCH BANDWIDTH!  imageshack is free...

Thank you.

www.boomspeed.com will also host images, if that's any help at all.  They randomly stop new users from signing up, though, so be warned.

cool thanks!

I solved the problem for now.

All signatures hosted in the images section have been moved to my own space.  For those that wish to lower the bandwidth usage, just make some minor adjustments to your signature hyperlink.

The images are hosted in the folder: http://home.ec.rr.com/chrissnow/pics/

All of the filenames are identical to the ones being hosted here, but with the domain and directory changed.

For instance, mine used to be:

http://www.followtheangel.org/albums/album039/LibertasSig.gif

now it is,

http://home.ec.rr.com/chrissnow/pics/LibertasSig.gif

Feel free to follow suit.

I've not exceeded my limits as far as size, so I can probably fit a few more.  As for the page views, we'll see.  I work for my ISP so I'll be the first to hear.  If that happens, I'd be happy to explore a donation for increased bandwidth.
