Dropping the signature bomb
Fish and Duff consulted, and then Fish consulted me and I agreed that the current signature size limit is WAY to permissive (2550 characters). For the record, the following
Is 2040 words and FAR too long for a signature. Fish suggested something in the area of 500 to 250 characters. I'm undecided as to the limit, but agree to something in that area.
Fish and I also decided to give warning to everyone before doing this, although in retrospect I think we all would know if someone was misusing this to the point of being endangered by this reduction.

Mr President
The great events on which my resignation depended having at length taken place; I have now the honor of offering my sincere Congratulations to Congress and of presenting myself before them to surrender into their hands the trust committed to me, and to claim the indulgence of retiring from the Service of my Country.
Happy in the confirmation of our Independence and Sovereignty, and pleased with the oppertunity afforded the United States of becoming a respectable Nation, I resign with satisfaction the Appointment I accepted with diffidence. A diffidence in my abilities to accomplish so arduous a task, which however was superseded by a confidence in the rectitude of our Cause, the support of the supreme Power of the Union, and the patronage of Heaven.
The Successful termination of the War has verified the most sanguine expectations, and my gratitude for the interposition of Providence, and the assistance I have received from my Countrymen, encreases with every review of the momentous Contest.
While I repeat my obligations to the Army in general, I should do injustice to my own feelings not to acknowledge in this place the peculiar Services and distinguished merits of the Gentlemen who have been attached to my person during the War. It was impossible the choice of confidential Officers to compose my family should have been more fortunate. Permit me Sir, to recommend in particular those, who have continued in Service to the present moment, as worthy of the favorable notice and patronage of Congress.
I consider it an indispensable duty to close this last solemn act of my Official life, by commending the Interests of our dearest Country to the protection of Almighty God, and those who have the superintendence of them, to his holy keeping.
Having now finished the work assigned to me, I retire from the great theatre of Action; and bidding an Affectionate farewell to this August body under whose orders I have so long acted, I here offer my Commission, and take my leave of all the employments of public life.

Anyway, FV's signature is images and would still probably fall under the 250 char limit. I'll talk with him and suggest a reduction in the number of images, or the size of them.

OK, I Evlhxrdood Duly authorized myself as the representative of the Supreme Court of WinWorld, declare -Q's actions *unconstitutional* based on international law!
500-1000 seems good... maybe the best in right in between... try 750?
images seem to be the big problem... maybe say a limit of 1 image... 2 if they're small...
I already have converted these "thin images" to an one gif but the thing above, is worrying me... (I don`t like my beautiful sig images erased :( )
You what?
Are you leaving the gifs on the userbar site?
Don't they have a thing about that? like they're only on the servers for X ammount of time before they're deleted? or am I thinking of something else?
Yes imageshack or simular is the way to go
I wouldnt push your luck if I were you.
