Pictures in sigs would be annoying and distracting. A title pic? perhaps but I like HLP as it is at the moment, even the colour, which seems unique, though I haven'r seen many forums by today's numbers...

Oh: check this out[url/]

Effective immediately, we must ask that anyone with more than two of the userbars in their signature must reduce down to two userbars only. They must be left justified and one over the other. These banners are 350 pixels wide, so two of them next to each other breaks our posted signature size of 600 pixels max width. Also, with the 2 sig banners, you can have up to 6 lines of font 10 text. A spacer between lines of text counts as a line. See my signature for an example. If you have any graphics larger than the 350x40 of two of these user banners, you may only have 1 graphic in your signature and no lines of text.

With Avatars someone's crap post can take up half a page just because they have some huge signature and some massive avatar.

That is why you set limitations. And whip out the banhammer on dumbasses that break them...
Well, if it does somehow eat bandwidth more than just text, even though its hosted on some other site, then fine. Whatever.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

The thing is, I like signatures to have no pictures. At the worst, just use ASCII art.

Seems like it takes more moderation than it's worth... and it still negatively impacts the content-to-crap ratio of the boards.

Here's the good news/bad news...

Good News: IF someone comes along for interplay and knows what they are doing then FS* 'could' be good (though won't make everyone happy)

Bad News: "It's crap! Worse, it's canon now!"

Well we can always do what TOS BSG fans did when Gal-80 came out (basically the network stepped in, slashed the budget to like 10% and filmed in all on "Earth" locations with piss poor imbecilic scripts that killed the franchise.)...

THEY IGNORED IT, "THERE IS NO Galactica-80 SERIES!!! It never existed!"


It's the only way to keep your sanity. The Mod community will do as it wills and that's our right. If we try a demo and don't like it or word of mouth spreads negatively, it's not  they can MAKE us buy it...

Whoever thinks of tackling FS* better think long and hard about the whole project if they want to make a resurgence of the genre... The fan base IS there, but they are libel to alienate them as much as garner their support...


Incidentally, how does Snail shoot himself in the head?

Is his Avatar like Assey Magee or Bob Oblong and he can manipulate objects like they do (magic/TK)?
And no one around them comments on it as out of the ordinary?

I'm too lazy to start a thread, so I'll just bump this.

How accurate do you guys think this image is to FreeSpace 2? I seem to see a few instances of duplicated ships.

What's skewering the Orion with a red beam?

[Polpolion]

Looks like that ****ing letter "E" again.

[Herra Tohtori]

It's part of the FS2 box art, so that would be either a Ravana facing right, or a Moloch facing left. Seeing the relative sizes and distances of the crafts, I'd say the former is more plausible option.

The deadlyest of all shivan ships -> the Shivan Super⁴⁷ Juggernaut Freespace

[Rodo]

why is there a planet like earth in the box? is that capella?

The Box also shows a Lucifer which is non-canon, so I'd say the box is bollocks.

[S-99]

Where's the lucy on the box?

[Snail]

On the back I believe.

[Colonol Dekker]

I believe that's correct.

But it might be near the "fred details and pimpage" section.

What's skewering the Orion with a red beam?

I'm not sure but it's a Ravana. I think I saw the same pic before with the name "FreeSpace 2" either missing or placed elsewhere...I can't prove it, through...

[eliex]

The bit of the thing shown skewering the Orion looks quite bulky and big. Either its a Moloch or a Demon.
It makes more sense for the Demon though - it usually shoots one LRed at a time, while the Ravana fires two.

I didn't read Herra's post...looks like he came to my conclusion. That ship is very likely to be a Ravana. Another important factor is the beam cannon, which surely isn't an SRed mounted on Moloch corvettes.

[Snail]

The big one skewering the Deimos doesn't look like an SRed though.
