Yes I would have to agree here, with the Avatar and Signature combo not being very explicit as per the rules.

As for the Expression, well, expressing ones work in dedicated forums, as a measure for our Dial up Users to be informed about is good.

Yet, (and forgive me if I am not comming though fully here, English no being my first language), there is a distinction between showing one's work in a specific place and "wearing" ones work everywhere they go.

However, I am one that considers that the Quality of a Community is measured by the quality of it's members, and if these members use dial up, then it becomes the responsibility of the community to make some compromises in order to offer equal opportunity of expression to everyone of its members.

As such, I think this place, in spite of what is being vehiculated as of some time now, is the picacle of Quality of the complete Total War Community. And quality has nothing to do with how popular or quantity of members are actually visiting here.

And in that common interest to maintain this quality, I am more than willing to compromise.

So whatever the collective results maybe in terms of Avatars and ignatures turn out to be, then that is what I shall respect aswell.

Cheers!
