Maureen, our brains are thinking the same way.
When I saw this post last night I decided not to download it at all. But yesterday I was too tired to answer to it.
So here are my two cents for this discussion:
Kym and Pam,
I always knew that Wonderland was a place full of crazy people (me included

). Maybe that's why I like it so much. But what you are planning to do isn't crazy anymore, but foolish.
Leaving a place and people you like just because of a discussion where no decision has been made yet?
You know, for me it's an completely unimportant topic. I never used a sig (although I appreciated your offer to make one for me very much) and I don't need an avatar either. So maybe I can't understand exactly what it means to you. I know you put a lot of time and work and money in creating a lot of sigs - and you made a lot of people very happy doing so.
Let me tell you a few things:
a. No one has decided to ban the sigs out of this board yet. On the contrary: there are a lot of voices now who prefer sigs in place of avatars.
b. Even if a decision will fall for avatars: a lot of people certainly would be very happy if you're helping them creating their own avatars. And I'm sure you'll be as good with those as you're with the sigs.
c. It'll be not just you're graphic skills we wil be missing, but also your posts and your beautiful levels.
d. Wonderland wouldn't be the same without you - and you wouldn't be the same without Wonderland.
What I want to say is simply this:
STAY
Lutz
