We've all seen them. "There is no..." this. "I have a big signature" that.

Does anyone actually like them, or are people simply jumping on the bandwagon?

where's the "don't care"-option?

where's the "don't care"-option?

It was thought of in those few seconds between clicking 'submit poll' and it actually appearing.

So stop sitting on the fence before you get a sore backside. :p

I just jumped on the bandwagon in the run, duration and end of the NS meet ;)

THERE IS NO LARGE TEXT

i dont hate them yet. they dont take up any more space than the multi-line quotes that other people have.

THERE IS NO LARGE TEXT

Fixed.

Mods should do this to some of the massive sigs. For the lols.

Indeedily. Phil, you fail at poll-making.

-snip-

You, sir, have made an enemy today. :p

I purposely make my sig as small as possible.

I'm not one to make a spectacle of myself...unless given alcohol in the proper proportions. :p

Indeedily. Phil, you fail at poll-making.

No; science has conclusively proven that huge signatures are like Marmite - there is no 'indifferent' option. Anyone who thinks there is is crazy.

Yeah, ok, ok, I cocked it up. *Hides face in shame*

The results are clear, fuck the majority!

Fixed. Lol, sucks to be you if you clicked it

... are people simply jumping on the bandwagon?
Oh, it's unashamed bandwagon-jumping.

Fixed.

That's a great link, and shows my point entirely. Thanks. :)

I absolutely hate them, they make me sick to my stomach. I view anyone who has jumped on this lame bandwagon a despicable and generally evil person.

I like them.

Um... By 'huge signatures' I hope you don't mean long ones. Mine's fairly long and I like it...
But if you mean ones like those that you mentioned, generally with massive text and such things, then I detest them.

Massive text ones.

I find them amusing. I like the creativity in some of them.

I absolutely despise them and welcome any ban on such signatures.

Massive text ones.

*wipes brow*
Thank heavens. You're a good chap, good chap.

don't care.

I neither love nor hate them. They evoke no strong emotion in me, either way. I wouldn't say "I don't care", either - because I am a little interested in what they might have to say.

It's been pointed out already - even with 'big fonts' these 'big signatures' of which you speak still take up less space than many 'normal' text sigs - so it's just the big letters that are offending some people.

Which is funny - because it means you have 'bought in' to the product. You looked at what was there to make you look. You are the person saying "I hate Doritos ads" as you write a letter to the TV company detailing what exactly it is about the 19th Dorito ad in a row, that has offended you.

Or put you and your sig on /ignore :fluffle:

Huge text is a waste of screen. All the black pixels will run out!
Long sigs in tiny text rarely get read right through.
Really pretty colours in a sig usually mean female poster. They're also more likely to have a quote.

I'm not complaining about any of it, since I imagine my habit of changing my sig every few days probably irks a few people. I won't throw the first stone.

I've been following the thread regarding sigsize in Moderation (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=525568). It occured to me, and I posted there, that the "ignore" function could be used as a form of peer pressure, to get people to reduce their sigs to less obnoxious proportions. No one likes being ignored, do they?

Oh, and this post is going to sit here burning a hole in Philosopy's brain until his/her sig reads "Never put off until tomorrow what you can put off indefinitely."

Admit that it's funnier, change the sig. Then I'll delete this writ of upfunnyingness. You have been served. :mad:

It's not funnier. :)
Philosophy's sig is perfect as it is.

Actually, the idea that someone will write something, others will see it and I won't, is far worse than having to see what they wrote. I don't believe in censorship (at all) and I'd have to be daft to censor my own input.

I don't hate anyone so much I can't bear to read them. At least not yet :(

A /hide function would be an even more horrific device. If people could hide their own posts from specific other users, I would simply not use the forum.

Hang on ... wouldn't it be nice if you could ignore sigs on a per-user basis? People could have huge sigs, anyone who got sick of them could just not see that particular sig. Would have to be in the vBulletin software of course ... hmm.

Edit: What about my size? It's only slightly bigger than normal text h4. I made everything else h1 so it's larger in comparison.

If you really have a problem with this, you can just turn sigs off.

I don't really seek to find out people's gender. It's a little more convenient to be able to use the right personal pronoun, but I actually find individuals less interesting when they have a gender. It's easier to characterize them.

Er, well sorta. I like women better actually. Or something, I dunno really.

Yeah, but sometimes it's difficult not to find out. For example, I always used to think Ifreann was a girl, no idea why, until the 'toast an NSer' thread and someone pointed out that I'd used 'she' when he was, in fact, a 'he'.
*wonders whether Nobel Hobos knows my gender*

Anyway...
To poll warrage! Or poll-age war! Or whatever...

Also, about your sig: That would still leave you reciting one hundred million digits of pi, assuming you were using the American, or more rightly (as I'm British and old-fashioned :D) reciting one hundred thousand million digits.
In comparison, I can remember 53, down from 80 (fairly obviously, I forgot 27).

I'd have to turn the keyboard repeat rate up to get through it in a sensible time, and reciting it out loud would make my tongue fall out long, long before I got to a billion. I'll start anyway (note that all the digits are in the right order too.)

I have a strong urge to make a bunny out of Urdu Unicode and use the sniper on it ... I'm examining that urge right now. It would take about 4 hours, since I don't know Urdu and will have to insert just about every character of their pretty font into every possible position of the calicivirus-ridden feral pest until it looks anything like a cute bunny.

It'll be worth it though, when I get out that :sniper:

Nothing will stop me now!!! MWWWArrrHA*cough*Haa*cough, splutter* Ugh.

Kinda is, not much point making a joke when it was already made a few pages ago.

We've all seen them. "There is no..." this. "I have a big signature" that.

Does anyone actually like them, or are people simply jumping on the bandwagon?

There is no big signature bandwagon.
:D

There is no big signature bandwagon.


There is no bandwagon. Nowadays we only have floats, which are much more challenging to jump onto. Unless you use a vaulting-pole and get into some serious chicken-wire, you just go right through, looking incredibly stupid and making a pathetically small hole in the carapace.
No-one even gets to witness your agony as one of the back wheels artfully hidden beneath the float gives you an express abdominal purge. It's all covered by the silly flapping float stuff. And the band plays on.

Ah, bandwagons. The good ol' days.
And that, folks, really is that. This is my masterpiece, the pinnacle of my work here at NSG, the Pièce de fucking résistance. A wonder to inspire generations of NSGers through the lonely hours of ...
Uh, what? Of, of ... well, until I read it again and delete it.

It didn't help that the forum issues led to me being able to log on for eight months though...

where's the "don't care"-option?

This always makes me laugh. Why vote on a poll just to say "don't care?" If you don't care, don't vote.

Or put you and your sig on /ignore :fluffle:

Whatever floats people's collective boats. It seems most likely that - if we are debating the ongoing presence of these 'eyesore' sigs... people aren't actually iggying anything, yes?

We've all seen them. "There is no..." this. "I have a big signature" that.

Does anyone actually like them, or are people simply jumping on the bandwagon?

Damnit... should've read the post. I thought you meant sigs with lots of content, not just large fonts...

People are free to like or dislike my sig as they see fit. I don't care. Nor do I care about anyone elses. Meh.

Gravey, I'm not sure it's possible to have a collective boat? Even were it possible, and more than one collective boat could actually be produced, the idea that they would ALL float is mind-bogglingly remote. The parable of Noah is instructive.

I imagine you don't like being called Gravey. I don't like you sigging the immortal words of Our Spike without attribution! Grrr.
I hope the context makes it plain that I couldn't possibly be serious. Ever. Again.

Gravey, I'm not sure it's possible to have a collective boat? Even were it possible, and more than one collective boat could actually be produced, the idea that they would ALL float is mind-bogglingly remote. The parable of Noah is instructive.

Noah's problem was the 'one big boat' paradox. If he'd only thought to allow everyone a little boat to float in, it would have been all good.

As for the Gravey thing, one of our current crop of lurkers has a habit of calling me Uncle Gravy, whenever she brightens my day by condescending to talk to me. It's not so bad, really. :)

Kudos on the Spike. It's by way of something of a test, hence the non-attributiveness-ness.

Oh, it's a test! I'm not even sure I passed, but I point to the second para of my earlier post (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12605167&postcount=75) to show that I learnt something from that goon. Graphic and unfunny interludes make the actual jokes funnier, ala "tank trauma."
I'm thinking that for a good mark, I probably should have countered with an homage of my own, in sig. Oh well. :)
"In sign if I can't." Why do I notice things like this? That's the raw material of the worst pun ever made, right there. I choose not to make it.
You could claim disattribution. Nice word that, just learnt it while looking for non-attributiveness-ness. I stopped looking because my head is spinning with the possibilities offered by the punbot. (http://wordnavigator.com/change-letter/disattribution/) Those fools would use such a brilliant tool to solve crosswords? Talk about thinking small.

Thanks for kudos. Here's a long word for you:
