I must say I'm kind of bummed about this.
I haven't noticed any loading problems for me from people who have the eggs in their signatures, but that's just me. I'll respect your wishes and remove them, but I'm really saddened by it, as I (like Dionythicus) get most of my views from here.
For anyone who thinks they won't be able to get enough hits for their scroll you can post the link in your signature. That way all of your dragons benefit from people clicking the link.
Downside is that in order to get views people have to actually click the link. But it's better than nothing.
