Testing sig size...

rudel_ic · Post by **rudel_ic** » Tue Jan 16, 2007 1:32 pm

Wow, does it work?

Edit: Wow, it does. Deactivating sigs now

I don't want to only deactivate my own sig, but others as well. This is seriously not working the way I thought it would. There's no "Don't show any sigs ever at all" option in my profile. Gasp. I hate sigs.

Mine too big? I was gonna put an image I'd made but...

ROFL
This is the sig I normally use on other forums:

Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they hide is vital.
"If you’re done ass raping the defiled corpse of decompressed story telling with the
Sphincter-Destroyer 3000, could we get on with the plot now?"
I love children, I just can't eat a whole one.

Isn't it possible to disable them, as Rudel mentioned?

Turns out it's not... I think we will disable them again until phpBB 3 comes out, anyways.

I know that won't make me the most-liked forum member of all times here, but I thank you, Jeff.

Nah, most people are so used to them being off, I doubt it really matters...
But what if you only allowed text in signatures? Would that kill other people's connections too much?

It's not really about the internet connection, it's about the annoying atmosphere signatures create.

What annoying atmosphere?

Post by **Jeff** » Tue Jan 16, 2007 5:42 pm

Having a bunch of random text and images after everyone's post.

BunnyWithStick · Post by **BunnyWithStick** » Tue Jan 16, 2007 5:53 pm

So far nobody on this forum has a signature that is a bunch of random text and images though.

Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Awww my clever spanish Lugaru-related sentence is gone. . .

zatoichi · Post by **zatoichi** » Tue Jan 16, 2007 8:33 pm

yeah, I think I like it better without sigs too...

Crap, I started the movement and I didn't even get to try it.

Oh well, when phpBB3 FINALLY comes out, maybe we can give it a shot? I'm pretty sure we could put restrictions on sigs.
