Dane, show me what 600x250 would look like.Its like the road is 80% of my sig pic.....so..I had to make it so small to see it.
This is perfect size...

Come on guys...this is AMERICA! Bigger is better! Our big gulps are the size of a damn feeding trough and we have people dding pseudo semi-trucks. What size is a computer screen...that's my vote on how big the signatures should be.
In all seriousness though - I'd take a little bigger, but it won't drive me away from the site.

I like the current size when not on forum runner big sigs on other forums can be too much

I would rather have a 650 x 200 limit....if we're talking total footprint.

Coming from a graphic design background that I've been in for just under a decade, the subject of this discussion should not be the physical size of signatures for loading time but the bandwidth/file size that the banner takes. I can easily make a picture that is small in size but surpass the file size in an optimized picture 4 times bigger.
An easy web-based picture resizer and file size optimizer is here:
http://www.webresizer.com/resizer/
I believe if you use that and drop the "Image Quality" part of that site to the lowest you feel comfortable without seeing significant loss in quality, the servers and hosts will have a much happier time! With settings 40-50, your file size will be up to 75% smaller. This way this gives the user a more free way to express their picture with little impact on bandwidth requirements.

Trevor, thanks for the link.
At this point, we think the server can handle the file size. What we've heard in the past is that signatures are too large, which makes it distracting to those browsing the site. Previously, when we were on a different server, file size was my main concern. Today, my main concern is signature-size distraction.
I'm thinking that 650x200 gives people a lot of freedom; it also keeps the height of the signature to manageable levels.
I like that link you posted. That should help everyone out.
