DU is the only messageboard I've run across where.....

[DS1]

People have signature entries that take up an entire screen :eyes: :wtf:

and NO FUCK YOU I'M NOT TURNING THEM ALL OFF, but I will calmly just delete yours. Everyone else can deal with the desperate need of space :eyes:

In fact, big sig lines are the digital equivalent of owning a HUMMER, or a 7 bedroom house w/pool. Stick that one in the your pipe and smoke it, hypocrites.

:rant:

[kick-ass-bob]

1. Is this about the dog poo again?

:P

[DS1]

5. You must be confusing me with someone else

I love dogs.

Someone needs his diaper changed.

[CanuckAmok]

4. it's "hypocrites"!

:headbang:

[DS1]

7. Thanks

[JimmyJazz]

8. So, I take it you aren't diggin' my NEW sig line!

:P

[DS1]

9. Hang on, there's work to be done

All I see is a little devil and a dude rollin a doob :D

[SheepyMcSheepster]

10. can you please stop with the unnecessary emoticons!

it makes it hard for those of us running our 10 inch monitor at 640 x 480. thanks!

[DS1]

11. Yup

:nuke:
:patriot:

[progmom]

12. bah humbug

:eyes:

[DS1]

16. I think your humbug needs more cowbell

It's not like cowbell was over and busted two years ago or anything :eyes:

[JimmyJazz]

13. How about now? Is this better?

:D

[DS1]

14. Did you make a change?

[JimmyJazz]

19. You might wanna peek - I'm just saying!

:evilgrin:

[matcom]

15. LMAO!!!!

:rofl:

[Redstone]

17. Uh, it's "the only message board I've run across,"

Not "ran."

Just thought you'd be happy to have that pointed out, since you're in such a chipper mood.

[progmom]

20. .

:applause:

[DS1]

21. I'm in a great mood, really

I've had a nice breakfast, there's a good cup of warm coffee nearby, etc etc.

It's when I was scrolling through some other threads I realized that 90% of it was nothing but useless fluff, repeated over and over again.

[JimmyJazz]

22. Someone must be running a gas powered leaf blower somewhere

in Boston :D

[DS1]

25. I thought your vibrator needed a new gyroscope

:P

[JimmyJazz]

27. gyroscope? Dude:

What's your point? :shrug:

[Deja Q]

18. Piffle!

:P :D

[DS1]

23. The dog survived the purge

It's when people start dropping BR tags in that it gets out of control

[qnr]

24. Or, even more annoyingly, Big & Distractingly Bright, like mine

Edit: Making up words on the fly since 1957.

[DS1]

26. But it's short

which is the entire point of the thread - and it goes somewhere actually useful

[LynzM]

28. Ooh, I could take screen caps that would kill you....

On the "moms" board I'm on, there are women who have so many pics in their sig, it takes up more than the whole screen. Ugh.

[DS1]

29. Oh god

I think I'll start a cat picture thread to cleanse my mind of such horrors

[LynzM]

32. Rather like....

Your new sig, in fact. Hey, do you have your own sig on 'ignore' now? ;)

[DS1]

33. Ignore myself?

Great Idea, I'll then forget about this lovely new sig image of mine and let the rest of you deal with it.

[Misunderestimator]

30. What a complainer!

I myself am blissfully unaware of sigs.

(On edit.... LOVE your new sig!)

[DS1]

31. I enjoy some of them

So I don't want to have to lose them all for the mandatory 10% of people that abuse them.

[terrya]

34. I like the clean look in my posts. Just an avatar for me.

That cluttered look is SO busy and distracting.

I like your new sig line also, btw. :-)

[Omphaloskepsis]

35. Thank god for adblock..

[DS1]

36. Agreed

[Omphaloskepsis]

37. I just try to keep mine under 10KB

[DS1]

39. I couldn't care less about the file size

I'm on either cable or a DS3 (or higher, it's a campus network) , it's when people have acres of screen space for the same stuff again and again that it gets ridiculous, if not outright rude IMO.

I'll be removing my sigbomb shortly.

[Deja Q]

38. And your new sig compounds the problem 500%.

In terms of depth. 200 pixels may be much, but 1000 is BLOODY EXTREME.

:wow:

I see the humor in it though. :rofl:

[DS1]

40. Precisely

Yet it's only doing in one file what some people get close to with quotes, pics, more quotes, pics, a cat or three, etc etc

[Skinner]

41. I'm locking this thread.

We have guidelines which suggest what is appropriate for a sig line. We are not fascist about enforcement of these guidelines. But we hope members will make an effort to voluntarily respect those guidelines.
