How do we feel about signatures?
« on: July 12, 2009, 06:59:44 am »
Sure, we love them or we hate them but there's more to them than that. How do you feel about them? Why do you love/hate them?

I believe they're sadly unused, as illustrated by the tendency for people to sign their posts.

Most of the time when someone is described as politically correct they are simply correct.

Turned them off. As with avatars, if I need signatures I'll put them on, but I want to read the posts, not some shit about shadows not existing or whatever.

Anyway, signatures are nice, they give people personality, help give things publicity and generally give people a laugh.

I go through surprisingly great pains to decide on my signature (when it's one of the thoughtful ones and not just sarcasm). Some signatures are better than others, I guess. They all give you some insight into the signer though.

Masquerading as a man with a reason|My charade is the event of the season|And if I claim to be a wise man|It surely means that I don't know|On a stormy sea of moving emotion|Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean|I set a course for winds of fortune
But I hear the voices say|Carry on my wayward son|There'll be peace when you are done|Lay your weary head to rest|Don't you cry no more
-Carry on Wayward Son (By Kansas)

There was a really funny video in cracked.com which featured this song. (Namely, the "8 reasons why you wont like the Twilight movie").

There's two kinds of performance reviews: the one you make they don't read, the one they make whilst they sharpen their daggers

Everyone sucks at everything. Until they don't. Not sucking is a product of time invested.

I love 'em, personally. I like to read the hilarious quotes and awesome factoids, and reading people's sigs gives me insight into what kind of people I'm talking to. :D

They are just distracting but I Ignore them. I am happy Toady never allowed Picture Signatures.

I didn't know you could turn them off

I do think throwing in random pseudo-philosophical quips or other such irrelevant stuff to be a little annoying just by seeing it, but I don't have a big problem with it.  Especially on this forum though, I think the best use of sig space is quoting other people's pearls of wit.  That way, other people get to enjoy one-liners and bizarre conversations they weren't part of.

And I'm not just saying that because there's like four people with quotes from me in their sigs...

I believe that they are good to have, as long as they aren't too long. One or two lines is perfect.

I think you hit the character limit.  Which makes it a little funnier, along with how I mangled the first sentence.

The signature is a signature. I always put the clock thing there, regardless of where I am.
