Am I the only one that's starting to get really tired of this latest "trend" in signatures? Some of these GIFs take forever to load and it's kind of annoying/distracting.

Please, think of the children. sig responsibly.

I've been meaning to change mine for a while now.
Of course, I was going to change it to another gif.
I would like to blame MetaSeraphim for starting this gifrenzy and state that I had a gif signature before it was cool.

I have a gif in mine, but it's spoilered, so click it at your own risk.

You guys are fantastic people. It had been starting to annoy me too.

I propose a new rule: 10 day ban to anyone who uses retardedly gigantic and/or flashy GIFs in their sigs.

I think this thread proves that people will stop if they're told in a non-confrontational way.

Puns are now the "in" thing.
DO IT.

Is the awesome face a necessary accompaniment?

I believe that statement has arisen before. Personally, I think the awesome face is overused, and shouldn't be in the smilies section.

Edit: Oh wait, I assume you mean in Lace's signature. Sure, I'll play along with the "pun" thing.

Am I the only one who doesn't mind them and they load fine for me?

Oh, looks like bad jokes are a new trend. I should make a thread complaining about that too.

GIFs load great for me, and aren't to distracting, but if other people are irritated by it, then...
meh I was sick of them anyway.

I'm just looking forward to when Meta comes back and sees that her GIF legacy has been toppled by Cpt Fab's puns.

Meta is the original gif'er, so I personally think she should be allowed to keep it
