You know how I always have an avatar that chooses an image out of a huge pool and a Sig with hilarious forum quotes?
This post is their tombstone. I found them both gone and this gem was in my inbox.
[quote name='JPH']Your avatar has been removed by the staff.
Unfortunately it violated the rules of the GBAtemp forum.
Please consult the rules (quoted below) and exchange or adapt your avatar before resubmitting.
Thank you for your cooperation and have a nice a nice day!
The Rules
Avatars and signatures are available for members to personalise (sic) their posts by adding their own custom images or text. Do not abuse this right, or it will be removed.
Your posted images, avatars and signatures are constantly reviewed by the moderating staff. Images that the GBAtemp Staff find are too big or that are deemed inappropriate including obscene, pornographic, vulgar and any other distasteful or sexually explicit material will be censored, edited or removed with OR without notice; and may result in the member being warned, suspended or banned.
Users are prohibited from posting transparent/invisible images that stretch the page, and the flash-based "screamers" and 1x1 pixel flash videos. Dynamic and HTML-based images, as well as those with overly long animation sequences are also disallowed in your avatars and signatures.
The following image is an example to help you understand the maximum size of a signature graphic. You may go under and but NOT over the 500x150 pixel guideline. No exceptions.
*cut*
If you see scroll bars in a signature space, that signature is over the maximum dimension limit.
Unlike the resolution of the main signature graphic, there are no set file size limits per image.
* The maximum combined file size for all graphics in a member's avatar and signature is: 80Kb
* Members may distribute this 80Kb however they wish (Example: 30Kb avatar/50Kb sig, 50Kb avatar/25Kb sig, etc)
Here is your current avatar (for archival purposes and your benefit):

As for the sig:
Now I'm not going to bat an eyelash at the new signature rule. Makes enough sense, and the new rules have a limit to not just image size but overall pixels.
No random avatar is just... sad. 1000+ posts and the guy's gone. He will be missed.
What's interesting is that the av was not really in violation of those rules. It was PHP based on my server and does not fit with the dictionary definition of "dynamic." But I understand some privileges are sacrificed for the greater good. I'm not bitching and moaning about mod decisions, there are plenty of other topics for that right now and go there if that's what you're looking for. I am just lamenting the loss of a good friend. Need a moment of silence...
At first I thought it was just me but....

Sephi/Scuber you are ruining it for the rest of us.
