I remember when people could have cool signatures in there posts by using html. Like that screen shot of someone driving a courier and killing the alien cruiser.

It took me back when I saw the html "thumbnailed-links" in El Presidento's post about R & R the other day.

Why don't they allow pictures in content these days? They could always enforce a limit, say... 300x300 or so?

Or maybe even smaller?

It would be better than that anoying UBB code. Especially when they hack it's legs (img tag) off!

Please bring back some of the luxuries that attracted me once to this board.

Blame it on the idiots here who couldn't handle using such tags responsibly; they weren't yanked out of malice, they were yanked out of practicality.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.

Fortunatly, I joined after things turned ugly so what I've seen so far seems pretty normal. Didn't you just reinstate IMG tags quite some time back?

Yep, IMG tags are on if people want to use them (responsibly), but HTML is off, and images in signatures are off.
