Want to make sig banners to advertise the guild? Post them here in the thread, but make sure they follow these guidelines. Sig banners seen outside of the guild that don't follow these guidelines are very likely to be reported, and you will then have your signature disabled.
Width: 500 pixels
Height: 500 pixels
File size: Not to exceed 100k
Follow gaia's content guidelines, as always. The guild is for adults, but that doesn't mean adult content is acceptable.
Front page banners DO NOT need to adhere to gaia's signature limitations, because they are not going to be used for signatures. All front page banners will go into tektek's image randomizer (once it comes back), so your banner may not show immediately or all the time, but it will be there (unless it gets deleted from the host server).
Width: No larger than 768 pixels.
Height: No larger than 500 pixels.
File size: Try to keep it under 300k (since animations and very high quality jpg can get pretty big), but definitely no more than 400k. Not all of us are on broadband.
Follow gaia's content guidelines, as always. The guild is for adults, but that doesn't mean adult content is acceptable.
I don't mind making banners (or art) for the guild, but I'd like some basic ideas or a concept to work with. I'm usually free Saturdays so just send a PM if anyone needs anything.

Updated the code for the sig images with a more efficient url shortener.
It seems the 200x40 banner has died. We should work on replacing that.

The guild banner? Yeah. It died quite some time ago, but every time I go to make a new one, my brain goes blank.

Remember what the dormouse said;
Rules. rules rules! So the nifty banner I just made is waaaayyyyy outside the limit of 100K. I'll have to see if I can fix that. Another addition to my lovely day.

Yeah. If it's animated, it's almost guaranteed to be over the kb limit, unfortunately. Saving in png format will generally yield a much larger file size than jpg, as well, so that's another consideration.

I can make a banner. But you'd have to wait till after the 10th this month.
