the_cynic Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Here's an interesting question for you. I know for a fact that Chris doesn't really want signatures on his forum website but he puts up with it anyway.Do you think "signatures" are over-used on this website?

zer0dotcom Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 they're ok, as long as they don't get too wide. (top to bottom) I've tried it with them off and it really looks different. With them on, it make the messages that much longerthen they would usually be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicfurth Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Only when people go crazy with four or five pix in their sig, but no. With sigs, I don't even have to see the name to know who posted. Also, it's fun to see a pic and think, "Hey, I want that in my sig." It gets pretty boring to see nothing but black letters on a white forum page. As long as people don't put obscene trash as their sigs or avatars, then I have no prob with it. Therefore, sigs are awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paynomind Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 I wouldnt mind seing a 100 pixel height limit, but other than that... have fun with them.. you dont like em? turn em off and miss the fun.

Phil Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Since you can turn them off, I don't think there's any real argument.I have them turned off, but if there was a pixel-height limit (100 sounds reasonable), I'd consider turning it back on.You wouldn't believe how much easier it is to read a thread without signatures... and if I hear about a good one, I just dbl-click the person, and see it in their profile.

Cuss16 Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 no, I love seeing the great signatuer graphcis you guys are putting up. It's fine by me. Doh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winters in buffalo Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I usually view the boards with sigs turned off, but I'll turn them back on every few weeks just to see what everyone has. Most people put some useful information in theirs, so I definitely think they're worth having. A size resrticting would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 i actually got a moderating position elsewhere when my work on sigs was discovered at yet ANOTHER board (the whole story's confusing, i won't bother to bore ya with it)...of course i was using a better program then than i do now, but ya make do. i don't mind it as long as it's not like YET ANOTHER board i frequent and will not mention, where guys have like 10 pics in their sigs of either women, players or crap that has nothing to do with anything (mostly the first two)...reading posts here is a vacation compared to there. here, people with sigs actually use moderation (keeping sig amount to a minimum, as in just one) so thanks A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_cynic Posted March 3, 2004 Author Share Posted March 3, 2004 So now everyone needs an avatar and a signature to separate themselves from each other? I'm not saying it's wrong but just making a point.

paynomind Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Really, for the guys who turn them off.. just so you know.. they really arent that bad. Noone that I can think of has a particularly large or heinous or obnoxious one at all!It kinda seems like people have a self-restrained limit of 150 or so pixels.They sometimes have pretty good stuff in them.Plus, with the avater, signature, and data in the left, it creates a lot of white space between posts, that the signature neatly fit into.Try it with for a few days... you might like it!

tajmccall Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Yes, getting rid of the designer creativity on this board at any cost is a bad, bad idea.But i can deal with a restrictions, i try to keep them small, sometimes they get a bit crazy, however.

Grandmaster C Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 I think they're fine. They give the place a bit of colour, and personality and make different posters stand apart from each other. As long as they don't get out of hand or anything, then it's all good.Besides, as others have said, if you don't like them, you can just turn them off when viewing the forum.
