Removing Youtube Sigs

UnknownUnknown
edited February 2011 in Spurious Generalities
Cast your vote on whether or not Youtube sigs should be disabled. This should be an official poll so that we can get a community decision on what actions need to be taken (if any). It's fairly exploitable, slows down the site for not only members with shitty connections but also increases the site loading times. Not to mention they look really out of place.

On the other hand, they're funny and occasionally interesting. Fatty's sig also has a good song in ;)

    I don't particularly mind youtube signatures, only when they autoplay. I have disabled signatures entirely for the time being.

    I don't mind them as long as the auto play is disabled. The autoplay is fucking annoying especially when you have 5 or 6 in the same thread all playing at the same time.

    Yeah, get rid of autoplay, that's the issue. I like to open multiple tabs, and when every thread has 7 youtube videos loading at once, it really slows down my connection.

    Fucking this!

    I have no problem with them as long as there no fucking auto play.

    Definitely kill autoplay. I'm not a huge fan of videos in signatures to begin with, but they're not that bad so long as I don't have to hear 8 videos going off at different intervals in the same thread.

    They are gay, and obviously bringing out the faggotry in everyone that's using them.

    You are officially the only person with a youtube sig that's made me laugh.

    You can't take them away, it's my god given right to play YouTube videos in my signature.

    also, there's something just plain fucking weird about "sounds of gay sex" playing over top of a lesbian themed music video.

    After the autoplay is cleaned up removing videos from sigs should be gone. Ya'll fucking up two useful features for no reason and it isn't something new either. That autoplay shit was known and exploited on Zoklet nearly 2 years ago. Just confirms my point about how people use Zoklet as an excuse to discredit this place when people carry on traditional Zoklet behavior elsewhere.

    It servers no useful purpose and it slows the site.

    Signatures are pointless enough, but allowing embedded videos in signatures is ugly and doubly pointless.

    These two issues are the big ones. Nobody gives a shit if you find a video to be funny/interesting/whatever. Put it in IFIOTW if it's that important.

    I cannot fucking stand that stupid video that Hellish has in his signature. It's just ugly and big and serves no purpose.

    But on zoklet the signatures were abused within the first three weeks, here it took months for people to realize they could do that.

    Does that mean we are more mature or are we just stupid? :hai:

    Probably more mature. Why the hell would anyone want to make the place look retarded by placing a hueg Youtube video in their sig? One thing I can't stand on forums is when there are huge images/videos/userbars in everyone's sig. It's so distracting!
