And yes, theres the added problem of slowing down peoples computers. People shouldnt have to turn off images just because of one or two people abusing gifs. And as far as I am aware, the people who say gifs slow down their computers...already have signatures off. I know two people have :/

Which is why they were restricted to chat and games, even then you post them you get warned, a couple of us were having a laugh in the loft the other day and Ben came in and told us to stop posting gifs. Even though there was about 5 gifs over 100 posts, and he wasn't even contributing to our conversation.

Other people don't like all the gifs Smithy. You need to realise this. A couple of you may find them hilarious, but a lot of members get hacked of with the constant use of them.

That is not me spamming up lots of threads with a pointless GaGa gif that means nothing in context to majority of conversations. If you cannot say it in words then don't bother posting a response.

All we ask is that you cut down on them, not stop altogether, but you have to make it a drama and make it sound as if we are not allowing you to post any.

When somebody says something you don't like, replying with a gif of GaGa crying is alittle bit pointless.

I never said you hadn't. But not everyone has/had. I was using GaGa gifs as an example.
