    I voted yes, not just for the filesize but also for dimensions possibly. I'd like to see a 400x120 or so dimension limit because that proportion opens up many more options.

    I also totally agree w. BoC. With the new board set-up the sigs can be bigger and not cause as much clutter as they would have in the old boards.

    In total agreement with Board of command, I could do so much better with my renders.

    I voted yes as well, even just small amount like 20 pixels allows for much more expansion with using renders. I find that alot of the times that larger renders are smashed or not enough of the render can be displayed... If we don't get it, I'll live, but it would be nice.

    I haven't decided what to vote for yet, and here's why I'm hung up:

    the problem with taller sigs is that it really spaces out posts, making pages longer, adding 20% more bandwith usage per post. If you even look at this topic you'll see what I'm talking about. I can barely fit two entire posts (complete with time/date and 'On/Off' and 'Quote' functions) on my screen at one time. We're talking about 1-4 line posts.

    The problem with bigger sigs is that the also tend to 'dominate' the forum because they're simply bigger and more attractive than alot of posts. The main thing in a person's post should be their words, not their sig.

    On the other hand, I do like the idea of having more room to work with for sigs and all that....

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    I voted yes, but I don't really need sigs to be larger as I prefer it to be smaller than huge. As long as I have the option to have it larger to fit my needs.

    I haven't voted yet, but I am leaning toward no. In some forums, sig size has gotten WAY out of hand. It is way too busy at the bottom of each post. Some have little clubs, cartoons, and the sigs become stacked and of varying size. I don't know if I am looking at a screen shot of some sort or a sig. I kinda like how everyone has a sig that is just that a sig. Nothing too fancy, just simple.

    edit: Oh, yeah I agree with masamuneehs!

    That's a whole different case. We're just talking about increasing the filesize limit or the dimensions limit. Having multiple banners with animation and such is indeed out of hand but that's not what you're voting on here.

    I vote "no" as well. I'm an avid sig maker as well, and I think 400 x 100 is enough for people to work on.
