In a word, no...
The animated GIFs he uses are very small in size, and have a very insignificant impact on the site's "speed".
Once they are loaded into your computer, they are using your computer's compute cycles (processor power) to perform the animation.
Now, the "funny pic" thread, is a whole different matter!

I "could" name a couple posters that will never post anything worth actually reading........But everyone already knows who those two are........

I've actually never thought that his animated gifs were annoying; never even crossed my mind. Stuckart makes a good point.

Do you want to tell us how you really feel?
I've had signatures turned off for quite awhile, not because of the speed of the connection, but because it often took so long just to scroll past them all.
I know that I may miss something I'd like to see because they are turned off..it just make life soooo much easier.

I've has signatures turned off for at least two years. My AZ experience is MUCH better without them.
I personally think you are perdicktable. I feel if you said something its not worth reading. JMO I have been wrong before.CocoboloCowboy said:I ignore no one post, as you can never predict what anyone will say, and if they were ignored, you might not glean some great information.,
What a relief for the eyes, turning off sigs. Now please, no &%$#! pasting!
If you use Firefox you can just block his sig stuff. Ad Block Plus

That way he doesn't force you to turn off ALL sigs.

I am not bothered by his busy sig. And his posts aren't annoying as some of the others out there.
I think the sig that always bothered me most was the huge pic that (I think) said something about not wanting your business to look bad, or something like that. I don't know what about it was so bothersome, but it used to really aggravate me, so I got to where I'd scroll past it quickly, so it wouldn't mess with me, so bad.
Quite often, folks post huge pics and I have to scroll to the right to see them all. (Now, THAT irritates me!) After that, I normally just continue to scroll down and who posted isn't visible on the left, so the only way I have of knowing who posted what (without scrolling back to the left) is if someone has a sig. Since I pay little attention to sigs, whenever I'm dealing with the annoying wide page threads, the few sigs that catch my attention are the ones I know so well, which helps me relate better to the thread, too.
I always liked Fast Lenny's animated sigs. Those are some of my favs.
As for the funny pics thread, I am quite glad it exists. I've had some tough times, lately. Sometimes, just turning on my computer and reading that thread makes my whole day worth getting through. If someone doesn't like the thread, they don't have to read it. There are some rather questionable things posted once in a while, but the pics and jokes that make me laugh unexpectedly and aren't x-rated are the best, ever!
If you don't like the funny pics thread, don't read it. There are lots of other great threads on this forum.
I haven't had a lot of opportunity to play pool, lately, so this forum has been my biggest connection to the game. I'm really glad it's here.
sde... you're doing GREAT. Keep up the good work on the funny pics thread.

True enough, I've put him on ignore so I don't have to see all that stupid gif shit and his posts that have no bearing on the thread subject
