Sig size.... really?

[Sparky]

Is mine too big? I've had it at this size for years

You could at least update it every once in a while. You've had that supercomputer Nov 1-8 there since the first one we had

[Judaeus Apella]

I've seen people do this... I think here and on other forums, I know I've seen it else where. It always makes me think of those "attention whore" demotivational and lol pics.

@IFMU: 19" monitor, I can see why you're frustrated.

Well I'm sure there will be another one this November

They even still make those?!

[IFMU]

yes they do and they are still very common

[Splave]

but regardless, screw paypal indeed!

The #1 most common we sell at work.

People who use excessively large sigs have a mental issue that could use some professional help.

I don't think mine is excessively large, but I do need some mental help

[Particle]

If the forum would let me use a smaller font, I would.

I think we all do.

Now if 30" 2560x1600 monitors were cheap, sigs wouldn't matter too much. That monster font is the only thing I can read w/o blowing up the size in chrome.

At least you can get 1440p 27" monitors in the sub $400 range now.

All jokes aside, I don't really get the point of HUGE font. I don't believe mine is pushing it, although ppl might not like my unrelated sig pic. :shrugs:

[[XC] Oj101]

I don't like your sig, at all. Simply because I'm not a DBZ fan. That doesn't mean I have a problem with it being there, though

[Stewie007]

I find that people generally don't really care what I have or what I am tweaking.... The only way that comes out is when you're discussing it with other people.

The reality of sigs is that they are mostly self fulfilling, as we put things on their that either make us feel good/proud or things that we may find amusing somehow. Most people barely notice them unless they are massive and can't help but be noticed; which in many folks find annoying because it is generally unnecessary.

In reality the only reason a sig-less forum would annoy anyone is because of the lack of ability to put something on OUR OWN posts rather than the fact that we cannot see what someone else has placed there. We would all be perfectly happy if our signatures were singularly enjoyed along with no others.

So for that reason alone its enough to say "X amount of lines and pictures no bigger than x by 100 pixels. If someone doesn't like it, they can be reminded that nobody else will really notice or care.

I don't agree. I find sigs handy for a few reasons:

1. It's nice to see some decent overclocks, especially if they're on arb hardware
2. It's handy to know someone's specs when helping with a problem
3. There can be some funny stuff in sigs
4. I identify people by their sigs and avatars more easily than their usernames

I'm one of those that reads through a lot of sigs

I didn't say anything about avatars....... :-p

hehehe

Anyways, my point was they're largely just stamps we place on our posts that many times are barely noticed. I did NOT say that I don't like signatures.... ehehe

[[XC] Oj101]

I said sigs and avatars, not just avatars. If you tell me the guy with Rule 1A, Rule 2, Rule 2A, etc in his sig I know you exactly who you mean, if you tell me his username is Particle I know the name but can't place him

1600p does not really matter as much you would think, I have read this forum on a 1200p monitor for a long time. 400 extra pixels will aid, but marginally.
I also recognize people by their avatars and sigs, but it's split something like 80/20. Where Avatar is the majorly active "remembering-component". ^^

[Sparky]

Yup, I hate it when people change their avatars as that totally throws me. Especially if someone else then later uses the same avatar as someone else did a while ago

I know I'm not the only one like that so I rarely change my avatar once I've settled on one, and it is an avatar that you won't find an exact replica of anywhere else

[Stewie007]

I'll admit I change avatars now and then.... hehe

[[XC] Oj101]

And I'll admit that I have no freaking clue who you are

[Kallenator]

I'll admit that I think he is a cat.
