What should a sig be?
 
With this poll, i want to find out why we have sigs, what should be on them, and what they are for.

Marvak 08-04-2007 03:31 AM

Why is there not an 'other' option? *see my (slightly outdated) sig*
Otherwise, I just voted for the 'describes you' option.

Carnix 08-04-2007 03:38 AM

if im right, you needed to select other for the puepose of advertising. If that is so then your signature is not a sig at all, it's and advetisment.
But still, the idea of a poll is to see other people's views, so i guess it would have been wise to have an 'other' option (though that wouldnt shows me their views it would just show me that they disagree with the other views)

First of all, this thread either belongs in forum Forum Help and Suggestions or the Necrum Burial Mounds.

Secondly, sig (short for signatures) are just little images that you create that, indeed, decribe you or can make you look like the Crap King.

You've clearly installed you signature. I'm not sure what your problem is.

And figure out which forum is the right one to post threads in. This is starting to get annoying.

Carnix 08-04-2007 03:59 AM

It seems to me that you think that i am asking what i should put on my sig. If this is true you are mistaken. I am simply finding out what other people think that a sig should be in general, not what my sig should be. In which case i believe i have posted this poll in the correct section.

It's like you read my mind, man.
Carnix, stop with the pointless threads, it's getting hard to find the ones I want to post in.

Carnix 08-04-2007 07:34 AM

i apologize for the inconvinience but if i was to stop posting what some might think are "pointless" threads then i would have to resort to posting extremly pointless threads due to my unfortunatly twisted mind. However, for the sake of the sains' sanity, i shall try.

Mutual Friend 08-04-2007 11:41 AM

If you have a picture in your sig, I simply pass over it. However, quoting another member in a sig is totally, unforgivably lame.

Sigs are bend

Disagree. This can be an interesting topic; it addresses Internet culture, as isn’t necessarily confined to OWF.

Disagree. The image is a ‘signature picture’ or ‘sigpic’. In the olden days, we called it a ‘banner’.

Disagree. It addresses what someone sticks underneath their ramblings.

Disagree. This isn't interesting in the slightest, internet culture is dry at the best of times, but a whole thread dedicated to what someone sticks underneath their ramblings is hardly riveting.

Disagree. On a forum where PV provides entertainment, any discussion is considered gold

Mutual Friend 08-04-2007 02:27 PM

Disagree. That barely makes sense.

I wish you'd quoted me after I'd edited my original, overly-harsh post.

Hobo 08-04-2007 02:30 PM

It makes perfect sense. This forum is dead as fuck. Stop stomping over the thread, as any thread with anything that isn't 'OMG ABE IS HOT' is worth it's weight in gold here.

Mutual Friend 08-04-2007 02:52 PM

Quit your hollering, I ain't stomping over anything.

And it doesn't make perfect sense. Pat provides us with entertainment (which isn't true, but we'll let it slide)... therefore any form of discussion is gold.

You should know by now, Hobo. YOU are The Entertainment of this forum! Pat is the thorn in all our sides, truly.

Havoc 08-04-2007 04:08 PM

Sigs need to be random stuff you found in the internet that will make people go... huh wait what?

Damn Alcar for restricting sigs to absurd sizes :p.

Salamander 08-04-2007 05:35 PM

A Sig (or banner), much like an avatar, makes it easy to recognise who is posting. Now I can determine who is posting without having to read anything. Laziness FTW!

Salamander 08-04-2007 05:36 PM

Accidental double post, ignore this post.

Disagree. I suppose that's why Peter still calls them Signatures in your User CP. But, call it what you want, as long as someone can understand it.

Edit:
I imagine Hobo voted for "Why would anyone even want a sig."

Hobo 08-05-2007 05:19 AM

Judging by my comments in this thread, take a guess.

Oh and the fact i have no sig.

Spirrow 08-05-2007 05:30 AM

Not surprising. Keep that avatar, though. The face looks funny. (Or PM it to me as a Chistmas present if you don't keep it.)

Nazi party ftl!

Eat hufu. All of you.

Arxryl 08-06-2007 11:28 AM

I think that a sig should in a way, represent who you are, and in some cases, your artistic talent/taste.

Carnix 08-06-2007 11:34 AM

im still trying to find out where this nazi party is :D

Spirrow 08-06-2007 03:14 PM

Where you live: Somewhere.

Arxryl, I agree with you. Sigs should define you. Most of us remember Hobo's old habit of stealing the sigs of other people who were gone from the forum for a while. How did those sigs describe him. A n00b? A hero? A Hobo?

Mac Sirloin 08-06-2007 04:06 PM

Well, I remember one Bullet Magnet gave made me a sig, it was excellent, so I think a sig should be something you want people to appreciate, so maybe not a joke, but something livid and creative.

Abraham Lure 08-06-2007 04:17 PM

It should be something creative. Or better yet, something that describes you. Like something you've said that you're proud of. Or maybe a drawing that you really love.

Mistress of Oddworld 08-06-2007 04:19 PM

I couldn't get my pic to work, so I'm dedicating my sig to my mistress, I love her as much as oddworld :D

Carnix 08-07-2007 01:07 AM

once you've uploaded your sigpic you have to type (or paste) the folowing into the place where you typed the sig you have now.

[ S I G P I C ] [ / S I G P I C ]

(but without spaces)

where you type this will be where it apears on your post

hope it helps (dunno why but i do)
