I do just fine without any images at all.

One problem with filling the signature with lots and lots of pictures and text, is that when a thread gets long, the majority of the space of the thread will be.. *drumroll* signatures, because the actual contents of posts tend to be the same size or LESS than the signature below it (just look at your own post, 2 lines of text contents and 10 times more space used for signature). This causes users to have to scroll *a lot* just to read a few posts, not to mention the speed-down for low-bandwidth people like Hydra mentioned.

The RPG menu on each user creates a minimum space that will always be used, so allowing signatures up to the height of that with standard content size of 2-5 (?) lines of text, should be fine I guess. If that was the rule, you'd already bordering be bordering on the limit.

Do you want to have a forum where 90% (or more!) of the thread contents is signatures? It's probably already over 50%. I like to read the actual posts, and I tend to check someone's signature once, then ignore it.
