Might want to change the order on that one.
I mean, it's true enough, people are more than likely gonna have to shell out if they want to be involved in the Coming Storm, I'm sure, but I don't think that's really what you were going for.
...unless they ask of course - I am a gentleman after all and who would I be to disappoint a new player? A cad, that's what!

If that is how you feel about F2P...

Again... word order can drastically alter meanings. I didn't know you or Morgan swung that way, but hey, whatever makes ya happy. 
Be well, people of CoH.
Those buttons look a little big, (ie exceeding forum guide lines) and overly 'US patriotic' for this non American.
I'm glad for the intent of them though.
I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):

And everything's bigger in Texas.

Oh, I can see you fine. I just didn't want to see a ton of ugly buttons equating Free to Play with the bastion of capitalism. I am Canadian, I find patriotism shocking. I'm also a digital artist, and find poorly optimised PNGs and GIFs to be annoying to look at. The shadows on the PNGs should be translucent, not showing white, and the halo of white surrounding the buttons just are irritating.

My PNG optimizer doesn't like to do partial transparency, unfortunately. It's either a specific color transparent or not at all.

Glad you got that one ;-) Didn't know if a lot of people would understand it.
Shockingly, I agree with Snow Globe (I guess it had to happen once). The forum guidelines clearly say, "Signature Images are allowed, however they must be limited to 600x120 pixels AND less than 150kb"
This is the size that complies with the forum guidelines:

It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...

Try #364d5d or Red: 54 , Green: 77, Blue: 93. That should be the background color for the Hero forums skin. |

For the Villains forum skin try #5d3636 or Red: 98 , Green: 54, Blue: 54.
And for the sake of my OCD, here is a fully transparent, a villain skin background, and a hero skin background blank.
Forum legal:
Edit:
I just left the transparent versions in this post. If you have to create a sig button, please use the bottom, smaller image. The top image is for those that have the skill/ability to reduce the image to forum standards.

With all due respect, the forum rules apply to you too, and being all cheeky about violating them doesn't help your case. I'll direct you to last time we had a mass signature thing going: the "Loyalist"/"Resistance" signature craze that later had people using "Clueless"/"Television"/"Pantless" signatures.|

When first introduced in a thread that I can't find at the moment, the signatures were too large. After it was pointed out, the signatures were reduced so they would be 120 pixels tall. The spirit of the signature craze wasn't destroyed by having the signatures resized to fit the forum guidelines, and plenty of people still use them. There's nothing preventing you to do the same.
Or will the pillars of civilization crumble if your signature images are the same size as everybody else's?

They are big enough to dominate a post to where I have little clue as to what is being said without hunting for it. I should never have to hunt for it. If you going to be so hell bent on using images that go against posting guidelines, then don't be shocked your posts get reported.

Hardly.
It's an internet forum. It doesn't pay my rent. It doesn't buy my groceries. It doesn't affect if my trains run on time.
My level of "hell bent" on the forum, on a scale of 1 - 10? 0.5.
But, if for you, however, if the image size of a forum user's signature is such a cause for serious concern, then...
Yikes!
If you bothered to read any of the posts above, like the one where I mentioned to Snow Globe about my outdated imaging software
I'm not a photoshop guru. I don't spend my days sitting and reading forum regulations to such finite detail to know offhand or to know instantly what an appropriate forum signature size is.
Do you embrace the new F2P hybrid business model? Show it off in your signature! Below each image is the corresponding BBcode that you just need to copy and paste into your signtuare.
At the bottom is a blank button image if you want to create your own
These prettier versions were made by SnowGlobe.
