Aren't you an admin? Lol?
Right, Byron is, and you are not.
Every time that image loads, server resources are being used. Yes this is minimal with something simple like Bryon's script, but letting users put anything they want in their sigs sets a scary precedent, especially when like Bryon said, the image is reserved for admins.
As per my original post, my question was exactly that--a question. I wasn't accusing you of anything. If you can give a good reason regarding why you need the server load image in your signature, then I'll probably allow it. However, simply "why not?" does not seem like a reasonable argument to me.
@rvt that's probably a better idea than what we have now. Someone should talk to djbob about hosting stats onsite (heliohost.org.)
