Why does Scrap Girls have signature guidelines? As we grow and have more members join us from all over the world we need to keep in mind not everyone has a high speed internet connection. The more images we have in our signatures and the bigger they are, the longer each message board thread takes to load. Multiply each thread by hundreds of posts with images and slower connections may not be able to read the thread at all.
Our goal is for all members to have a great experience here at Scrap Girls. What we need to do is compact our signatures as much as possible, allowing us to quickly scroll through threads. All images in signatures should be arraigned on no more than 3 lines in post (including blinkies, sig's and tickers). Let them fall naturally. (No left, right center).
All signatures are limited in the number of images permitted, this is to allow the message board to load faster not to limit members creativity. You may receive a private message from a Scrap Girls team member asking you to edit your signature, please let us know if you have any questions, we don't want to edit them for you.
What is okay in a signature:
- Blinkies not larger than 150 X 150 pixels (Please, do not hotlink or give the address for to a locations where competitive products are distributed)
- Blog Links (Please, do not hotlink or give the address for blogs that distribute competitive products)
- Links to personal websites (Please, do not hotlink or give the address for websites that distribute competitive products)
-Custom signatures not larger than 225 X 225 pixels, if created from digital items must be hosted in Scrap Girls' gallery with credits given
What is not okay in a signature or in any post anywhere on the gallery or our forum:
- Come to XXXX.com and buy our stuff!

No, many people don't. I was a member for over 6 months before just making my first siggie recently.
