Well, your AV must be 120x160 pixels or less and not more than 16kb. Sigs (to my knowledge) aren't really limited but don't make it to big or flashy.
But read HERE just so you know what you can and can't do!

Hi Pure glad you could join us
Here goes. Piracy is hurting the gaming industry. Remember the producers and manufacturers of top games need money to keep producing the high quality games they keep us gamers satisfied with. Where do they get there money from us so if we support the piraters most probably the quality of the games will go down. So indirectly we determine the quality of games bieng manufactured

Very true, for example HL2 is going to me a very big success and will be of the highes quality ever made. It scored 96 in Pc Gamer. That is the highest score a game has ever got on that mag. So surely we must support the game and buy it. *of course if you like fps*. But yet i am already hearing of people here in Richards Bay playing the pirated version that does not even need online authentication, because it was cracked...
We bottom gamers will suffer in the future when piracy gets to big so will the movie and music industry ...

People should stop and think about their actions before they act. It can have a huge effect on the gaming economy if pirating continues on its headed path. Many smaller companies will have to close down because of lack of usable funds and the quality of gaming in general will take a dip. All the gamers across the worls will be influenced by it. All the gamers should stick together and fight pirating

Buy it and break in front of the oke, then go buy the original. Suffer for the cause, be pofound in your actions!!!Lets state this. If someone comes up to you with a new game like lets say Half Life 2 and you know it is pirated. What would you do take it from him and pay like R50 or will you buy the original ...

Piratted stuff
Sorry for been a nuincance. Saw I can get points for all my messages...
I personnaly dont buy the *****. Gaming, shoes, clothes and if count Vanilla Coke as an imitation. It last you only for a couple of weeks and just makes you feel ****** about yourself.
But the real thing. Even if it is R5000 you get quality and you know something that will last a very long time.

I think every1 is guilty of piracy once or twice before I know that I've gotten a game form a lan played it, didn't like it & was glad I didn't fork out R300 bucks for something I didn't enjoy, alternatively I've also gotten something from a lan played it 6 times over cause I loved it so much & am now proud to be the owner of the original, sometimes a demo just doesn't give you a good indication of what a game is like...

We all be pirates here mateys, so lets just get off our high horses, and and face facts, then maybe we can start changing... after all, identifying the problem is the first step to solving it.
