Your sigs are too long.

[ragejg]

ok... this has been mulled over a bit with other mods... so, um, I'm gonna keep it simple and hope this doesn't peeve anyone...

malfunction: your sig is too long. Can you shorten it?

geforce4ti4200: your sig is too long. Can you shorten it?

Some of you also have long sigs... long like having to hit enter more than 10 times... others of you have long sigs, but at least make them wrap so they're not too long.

This is not a call-out thread. I think it'd be a good idea if we voluntarily kept our sigs from being monsterously big...

Some of us do use lower rez's..., or tile the windows on our desktop, or surf on a home theatre pc...

I'll go along with the fact some sigs are too long...

hell I could stack my sig all the way down if I wanted to... I display it the way i do and have done for years because it is easier to load and read my posts (if anyone cares to :) )

but yah I am with rage on this...

[Clay]

Yeah, long sigs just dirty up the screen IMO. What's funny is that 99% of the ppl don't read them anyway so what's the point? I'd prefer that we just have a link in place of sigs so that it's up to individual if they want to view it or not.

[ragejg]

I think it may help those that *wrap* their text if "somebody that knows" would show us how to do the sigs with smaller text... Sazar, yours is presently huge IMO, but may benifit from a text size change...

I am using small text as is...

It supa tiny for me (1600x12000)...looks like 8 or 9px to me. That should be same scale regardless of user screen res. What up rage? :D

[ragejg]

ok, I adjusted text size briefly to look @ yours, Sazar... sorry... I have to use "largest" on my htpc a lot...

but I still believe >10 line sigs (10 hits of enter key, not wrapped, text not smaller) at any resolution is too much, no matter what the resolution...

I'm not gonna make jabs with things like "counterproductive", "distracting", or "pointless", for my britches aren't really all up in a bunch about this, but I do feel that my opinion is shared with others around here...

[|JuiceZ|]

I concor :ORDER:

Wish more ppl shared your common sense ragejg. Why ppl get so bent is beyond me. So yeah, sigs are fine and all but as with anything they can go to extremes.

[vampireuk]

I guess I should edit mine, seems a bit big to me...:D

[digitalwanderer]

Is mine too big? Should I go for me abbreviated version?

Erm...no...no no no...your sig is...um...fine. Maybe add a few more lines, perhaps 12, perhaps 18. :D jk ...unless you watch Homestar then you prolly have no idea what I'm talking about...that's okay few ppl do. :D

Depends on your sense of humor of course but it is hilarious IMO.

There are a ton of cartoons (all in Flash) and my personal favorite section is the Strongbad (he's Homestar's nemesis) e-mail section...oh man...too funny.

Yeah, pinker would be tight. ;)

You gettin' cultured real nice like now! :angel:

[UDawg]

Input on mine would be welcomed, if you think it is too big just post so here but the slam on liberals stays, in fact if there is any criticizm on that part I will make it as friggin' possible. :D :D :D Serious any complaints by the mods just let me know.

[saturnotaku]

Looks good to me. I mean here we're talking about sigs in excess of 8 lines. Three is far less than eight. ;)

And you should keep the liberal thing. I like it. :D

IMHO Any post with a .sig longer than the message should be auto-deleted. Any message shorter than its .sig is a vanity, rather than a worthy reply.

[DaveW]

If you list your specs in your sig, they should be only those required to diagnose a problem, or for someone else who is having problems to compare their specs against. These include CPU, amount of ram, motherboard, video card, sound card, operating system and maybe your direct x version.

NOBODY CARES about what type of case you have, the color of the LEDs in your fans, the size of your harddrive, the brand and model of your keyboard and mouse.

[Toaster]

My signature is _NOT_ too long :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[MUYA]

Powdered toastman!
You probably wanna cut down on yer signature length, b4 everyone flames ya! ;)

[Toaster]

lol, i wanted to test how long a signature could actually get.. pretty long if you ask me;) so i just wanted to have some fun by posting it here:) I disabled my sig everywhere else though, i suspected that it might get a tad annoying if i where to post regularly with this sig :p

and WB dude, nice to have you back again:)

[Smokey]

I'll wrap the text in my sig when i get my new hard drive next week ;)
