I hope mine isnt too long.
i like mine... all the essentials (who cares what mousepad you have) and links to more info, should you want it...
i would also put a quote in there to make it more signatury but i cant think of a good one ATM :D
i think we should have a limit but not too short (maybe like 10 lines)... cause people are different and should be able to express themselves differently... i like me sig.. but if everyone had the same sig as me... SF would be a really boring place
I really don't think it's that big of a deal. If you don't like looking at them, just disable it.
I also agree some sigs are too long. The original purpose of the signature was so people could list the basic specs of their main system to help others with helping to o/c or troubleshoot an issue. Information about mice, keyboards, etc. simply aren't necessary.
Think of it this way... it's like those people who mod their cars... whether it be those annoying low-bass-thumping-50-inch mufflers, or 20 inch rims, or ugly paint jobs; it's their car and have the right to do whatever to their cars. Sure it's annoying to see those cars with tires that stick 2 ft out of the chassis, but hey, did you pay for that car?!!
We all put our heart & money into our computers, and our sigs are just a way to show off how proud of it we are... If you find it annoying, do what I do, don't stare at that annoying car and drive on!!

How about a one RIG limit in your sig?
;)
I would agree with the one rig limit in your sig as well. Mostly the people with more than one system are advanced users anyway that ask for help much less than others. The people have built and still own like 30 computers (no names...C) are less likely to ask about their motherboard, cpu, etc.
On the other hand, I like reading the quotes of some people here. They are hilarious sometimes. People also have good quotes of famous people or some jokes. Those are fine too. It's the multi system sigs that I am not too fond of.
But how else am I supposed to preach my narrow-minded Fanboy-ish ways :confused:
Ohh and Colossus you could exercise a smidge more husbandry in the sig thusly

Did you just say that my sig is the longest at Sharky Forums?:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:Quote:
Seriously, speedstream, thunderbird (simply following the lead), not so much colossus b/c he owns all those rigs but he really doesn't need to include all of them. It is just terribly annoying to have to scroll past all these gigantic sigs! Most of the time they just include insulting posts about thunderbird which isn't cool. Could you guys limit it to like 5 - 10 lines or something? That would be great .
You have complained about my sig three times now...I don't care.
Who are yout to say what can be included in a sig.
I honestly can't believe that you said that. So everyone else that lists multiple computers...they don't own them?:confused::confused:Quote:

I see you squaking more about sig lengths than posting constructive pieces of information in the community here. Just let it be.
I think it is all about the layout... I know I am by far NOT the person with the longest sig... I have seen sigs with people listing more then one comps with crappy quotes at the bottom *cough* *cough* TB *cough* *cough*
But.. I did cut out a lot of the fat quite awhile ago.. If you dont like my sig, then disable sigs in your profile! :D :D
Just like Colossus said, if you think they are too long, disable them. Then you won't have a reason to complain about it.
Suggestion: Perhaps the moderators could write a short How to to make the sigs, smaller and in color. I learned by research, but truthfully it wasn't as easy as it should be!;)
Okay...now that EVERYONE IS DONE COMPLAINING ABOUT EVERYONE ELSES SIG AND WE ALL HAVE IT OUT OF OUR SYSTEM. ;)
We can turn our efforts towards postulating constructive and benefical ways to consolidate information...like good text sizing and color schemes...or fonts that are easier to read then others at smaller sizes. ;)
a lot of these could be shortened by a simple ]size=1[SIG HERE ]/size[ (with [] reversed).
It made mine a lot shorter.
At least I dont have to look at all the flashing Anime sig bars at this site
massive bright red hate signs for instance are appropriate... lolQuote:

nice sig :D
i havent finished my system so i didnt put up my sig yet, but i'll be considerate and get to the point when making it :)
don't tell anyone, but sometimes I logon just to stare at my sig.
shhh... :D
SF addict!
there...i tried to help the situation if my sig(i made it smaller text) was considered too long. hope you guys like it better.:D
I think that my sig is a decent length. Not too long IMO.
