Wasn't sure if anybody knew...
Xfire finally listened to everybody and made the thing smaller:

There's 2 other sizes as well. All are sig compatible.
Now we need to decide, do we want the sigs back? Personally, I don't miss them THAT much. It kinda makes me look at people's avatars instead of their sigs, and the av is close to the name, so I'm kinda learning people's names. Either way, sigs or not, I'm happy.

As far as I know the only reason XFire sigs are currently banned is because of the size.
There's 2 other sizes, and styles... the combat one is even more horrendous than that one... i went with lesser of 3 evils.
You can't shrink 500x80 of personality into 64x64. Beat that logic.
2: The only reason Xfire sigs were mentioned specifically was because some people felt that since it was game related it was okay to flagrantly violate the sig size restrictions. Now that it's possible to use one without doing that, feel free to do so.
3: Sigs will come back once alpha has the time to make them come back. You're all fine. Shut up and be happy. If it were up to me, they wouldn't come back and you'd all be glad because in exchange for your sigs you got a fast, stable forum to post on.
CUZ THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE MIDDLE AND IT'S GIVING ME A RASH
I now officially rescind it. It was solely a size problem.
