Sig Width

[Unimatrix Prime™]

Here are my thoughts on this. I'm not saying who's right or wrong, and I obviously have no say on any of this, but here's how I see it:

Regarding this quote, this was around when AHS was still using VBulletin 2. Now that AHS is using VB3, those rules don't seem to apply to all skins. I was also under the assumption that the 527x350 rule was still in place until recently, but like I said before, the majority of people probably use Rainbow, so it probably won't be noticed by a good majority of the people here.

Regarding the thing about alerting people about certain things, that's kind of a grey area. From how I see it, I think the staff changed the layout as a surprise (kind of like how there's contests here). It'd be like knowing when there'd be a pop quiz or a surprise birthday party, in a sense. I guess it's just me, but I usually like surprises (good ones, of course). When I returned last month, I was quite surprised to see the upgrade here. Sure, not all the old styles are back (most cost $30+ to obtain for VB3), but I see effort in the styles.

Once more, I'm not trying to point fingers here. I'm just saying that not everything needs a forum announcement. I hope I won't get flamed for what I said... I'm just expressing how I see things.
