While I dearly like Archie's new sig and don't think of it as being a problem, I have also experienced the annoyance where Haruhi is twirling her finger at you repeatedly at 200x200 resolution while you're trying to read.

Then again, my liking for Archie's sig doesn't rely on the animation. I would enjoy it as much if any one of those layers was used as a static sig.

Out of interest Archie, what sort of restrictions would you propose?
