The wouldn't need to be hosted on Seibs as they could be integrated into the signature. If anyone didn't know how to, or didn't have the ability to do so I could help with that.

Alternatively, since the ribbons are small, the ribbon can be placed overtop the signature. This can be accomplished through a variety of HTML tricks - or just by hosting another sig version with the ribbon overlay.

I wonder if it would be possible to use the empty space under the posting player's information on the left side for something of this nature.

**Edit** or even provide a second area underneath the signature area for this purpose.

[quote="Mogwai Prime"]With the maximal tournaments in the past I made ribbons for 1st-3rd places. I would be willing to make them again for different tournaments if you guys would be interested here are some of the past ribbons.

personally, i don't mind placing any and all badges on my sig, even if i happen to change it in the future, doesn't take me long at all to do it. And you can always resize the image yourself to make it fit the sig better.

[quote="Burn"]If you're talking adding it beneath a larger pic in a person's sig, that would violate the whole "one image per sig" rule, regardless of how tiny it is.

can't you use the attach feature to attach a picture to a post? then it's hosted here right?

I just tried and I don't think the file upload is working.

But could someone care to explain the benefits of the images being hosted on the Seibertron.com server as opposed to say, Photobucket?

As a viewer, i'm going to use the same bandwidth to download all the images regardless of what site they're on.

And we always hear about server strain and the cost of bandwidth, so to me, it would be a more viable and beneficial option for the user to upload to their own host and save the hard drive space and bandwidth (as miniscule one image may be it would add up) of Seibertron.com?

Or am I just missing the real reason behind it all?

images hosted on seibs ARE going to affect it's bandwidth (cost)
It will also add a bit of time to page generation (which can already be slow on seibs)
photobucket (or crappy sites like that) sometimes limit the bandwidth per picture (hence, the empty photobucket tags in some threads)
tags would be placed in your browser cache and would only be loaded once a week or so (for normal browsing) or, when a user sets it's options, more often.

however, the argument of extra bandwidth for seibertron.com is void seen how some extra images were placed on EVERY SINGLE PAGE on seibertron (shaded background, shadow/bot silhouettes and the city commander upgrade. If the bandwidth was an issue, those wouldn't be there.

Could probably use some for the Max/Pred tournie, but since that wont be til After Tammie's scalphunt, no rush.

[quote="Psychout"]Either way it's a legal route to getting extra stuff put in sigs, and if we get told off we can just blame Mkall.

how do you think i got DWII to run so smooth? i had red counting till he got stigmata of the eyes.

Excellent Mr. Prime. Probably going to need a few. Top scorers for each 'day' and the overall top. Maybe something with a Matrix on it.

You know, this being a leader thing is pretty easy. I come up with a idea then outsource work to others willing to do it.

Ribbon templates with Placement:

[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0903/aiwasoundsystem/1sttemplate.jpg[/img] 1st Place

[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0903/aiwasoundsystem/2ndtemplate.jpg[/img] 2nd Place

[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0903/aiwasoundsystem/3rdtemplate.jpg[/img] 3rd Place

Do you think that would work to distinquish placement ribbons?
