I don't know what do you mean, avatars and sigs already have size limits:

1. Avatars. All Avatars must be safe for work. This means that they should not be overtly sexual (this includes blatantly sexualised poses), grotesque or graphically violent in nature. As a general guide, ask yourself whether you would see something like that in a PG-rated movie. There are children here, and people who are working, and there is no way for them to hide your obscene avatar. If in doubt, don't use it. Avatars must not troll or flame (or violate any of the rules laid out for posts, especially Rules 10, 11, and 13). Whether or not an avatar is appropriate is at the discretion of the moderators. Avatars may therefore be removed by any moderator if they violate these rules. Avatars cannot exceed a 1:2.25 (4:9) width-to-height ratio. Ex. If the width of your avatar is 200 pixels, the height can be no more than 200 x 2.25 = 450 pixels.
2. Signatures. Signatures must not be excessively long. GIFs contained within signatures must not exceed 1.5MB and 270 pixels in height. Like avatars, signatures must contain no graphic violence or sexual/NSFW content, and must also be free from flashing lights and other discomfort-inducing GIFs. Quotes in signatures are subject to the approval of the quoted member. You must remove a quote of a member from your signature if they ask you to do so. Every rule applying to posts (especially Rules 10, 11, and 13) also applies to signatures. All content in a signature is subject to moderator approval. Failure to comply with these standards will result in moderator action. Signatures may be removed by any moderator if they violate these rules.

That's blatantly racist too! There's plenty of black Europeans ya know!

I should have explained myself. I know there is a limit to them but I feel it should be even smaller (specially sigs).

I feel like it shouldn't be like Neogaf at all. Instead, it should be something like NintendoLife's most recent layout. Clean, simple, modern, and with the focus being on the articles primerily, the sales numbers secondarily, and the forums being relegated to its own separate page and accessable through a tiny tab on the main page.

I remember users being warned because of avatars that were so long that messed with the forum layout.

Sigs... well, I don't want to go into that debate right now.

Well my point in saying adapting what's currently here was actually referring to what parts of the site get represented to what amount and where.

I'm aware that the layout itself would actually be a new one specifically taylored for mobile devices, as is the case with all mobile sites. What I was asking was if the mobile layout would be informed by the forum centric ideals of the current layout, or if it would instead focus on the articles and sales information with the forums accessable in a separate page, the way I believe the actual website should be. The rest of it was detailing my thought on both possibilities, and why I feel like you should go with one rather than the other. But I wasn't actually confused as to whether you planned on making a uniquely mobile layout or not lol.

If it were up to me, there wouldn't even be any sigs lol but I imagine that would be very unpopular.

(Goes to check Nintendolife) It looks very good but the main page is too big. I like the Neogaf style because it's simple and short (a bit dated maybe but I rather have simplicty over style). Your idea is nice but I wouldn't focus on stories... Most of the gaming news are the same on every site, so in the end you depend on original content from writers. That's not VG Chartz's specialty (even though we have great articles), this site is known because of the sales dat.

I would take the Neogaf template and place the HW and SW sales on the main page, a bunch of important articles titles (3 or 4) on the right with a news section button and a forum section button! No need to scroll to get to the good stuff. But that's my vision for this site.
