Forum rules?
« on: Sat, 19 July 2014, 03:12:14 »
I'm super bad at searching, I can't find forum rules anywhere. Specifically, sig and avatar size limitations. Anyone have info on that? Sorry if this is the wrong section, I figured it would be least likely to be wrong here.
I typed this post on my Slanck. I also developed a stronger, cleaner, easier handwiring method.

Can't find anything short term - avatar pictures are 120x120, or maybe 150x150 - this was hotly debated a while ago.

Try 150x150 - if that's too big then it's probably 120x120 :)
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

For avatar it will scale it down to whatever it is within reason. Most of the images I use are like 600x600 originally.
For signature, it's 777x70 and please DO NOT use anything animated.

I'm actually wondering about this.
What if it's a small animation, the 5 cars in Initial D, and then the respective owners waving or sitting there?

I disabled signatures mainly because of that.

The main rule that people break or are not aware of around here is that you need to PM a picture of your genitals to the mods before you are allowed to participate in the hidden sales.

Is this new? As I know several who have/had animated sigs. One had like 5 tumblr gifs, heh.

Glad I turn them off in the settings, reminds me when I'm logged out  ;)

So that's why I have been missing out on all these sales!

There are rules for this forum?
one and only: never question the mods.
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

-Ray Bradbury
