    Mind the semantics of the rule quoted there. If you have one image in your signature, it must be smaller than 600x300. That can be read as either smaller in at least one dimension, or smaller in both. In the latter case, your signature is exactly 300 px in height, and thus too large.

    Actually, at this point, I'm wondering if a ban on "ostentatious" animated signatures, or even a blanket ban on animated signatures altogether might not be best. Worm's signature, for instance, is a good use of animation in signatures - a small signature, with a subtle animation that enhances the overall effect. Unfortunately, it is also very much an exception; generally, animated images in signatures just end up being abused. Yours, as much as I like MLP, is a bit annoying. Sorry. I can't even count how many new members threw at least one copy of that old green blaster smilie into their signature. I regret ever posting that thing here, honestly; it's like an instant red-flag regarding the users that use it. Well, maybe a yellow-flag; I'm sure one or two must have turned out decent in the end, though I can't think of any off the top of my head.

    An Elin, a Ray, and an Ivolt walk into an EP. A Tan asks if they're up for finishing Diving. How do they respond?

    Colin: A toilet? What kind of friends do you have, sir?

    If it was taken down, it was for a reason. Just go with it, pick something different, or don't have a sig at all. Not that challenging, really.

    I don't even know how many times I've laughed at the dialogue already. Superb writing

    Quite possible whoever removed it didn't have time to send a PM right then and was intending to later, though.
