Good point. As an example, the weight of the page for this thread, when I loaded it, was about 68K. Not too bad but I can see where larger signature graphics can add quite a bit. Also, page loading might be assisted if graphics were provided from a single server.

See THIS POST for information that Billy Bob, a WCG member, has registered the wcg.cc domain and is willing to host all graphics needed by WCG members.

It is that time of the weeks again; time to take stock of exactly how we stand in the team rankings. The following is a copy of my own post in ImLadris forums.

Saturday 19 February 2005.

Members Rank = position 359. Gain = 25 places.
Total Run Time Rank = position 900. Gain = 63 places.
Points Generated Rank = position 765. Gain = 47 places.
Results Returned Rank = position 695. Gain = 34 places.

Please remember that all positions relate to the position of our team within WCG, and that there are currently 4,417 teams registered.

While we are inexorably gaining ground in the rankings, new members are needed to help us make further progress. Our present aim is to make it into the top 500 teams in the rankings. Please help us achieve this aim by joining our team.

Warlock, you are simply too much. No sooner do I become a Moderator than, you attempt to overwhelm me with an extra 7,067 members. But they would certainly help keep us busy.

Brian's unfortunate death was a great tragedy, and a blow to us all, but life goes on regardless of such things. While we may mourn his passing, he would not have wanted us to dwell upon it. Let us, rather press on with building a team that he would have been happy to be associated with.

I should like to second Warlock's words. We do need more members, and we are certainly friendly.

Actions speak louder than words, so get in on the action now by joining this excellent team.
