I'm making myself a new signature for another forum I frequent and I was hoping I could get some feedback for the first draft.

I love Meet The Spy, all of the Team Fortress videos made me laugh. That being said, I'm noticing a disturbing trend in TF2 fans making overly large GIFs out of these videos. Fact of the matter is, no matter how awesome, GIFs should not be more than a few seconds long. Each additional frame adds significantly to loading time, and when your signature reaches the point where it's more of a hassle to load than anything else, it goes from cool to annoying.
I'd suggest shrinking the size of that Spy Gadget that has the GIF on the screen a considerably amount. Shrinking it should increase the quality of the GIF within and reduce size, also it'd look better if the Meet The Spy part wasn't blocked out. It looks accidental.
If you can't get the Spy Gadget small enough to where you can see both the words "Meet The Spy" and to where the GIF is recognizable, then I'd suggest blurring the background because that "Meet the S--" back They're is really distracting.

For the love of gods, this. I can't stand long GIFs. Nobody can stand long GIFs.

I think you should make it better, because there's always room for improvement.
and that's all the feedback I have to give.
