axewielder13 Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I take that as insult. Well, obviously I have played, but that was many years ago, way before RS 2. Hmm.. Can you see what this sections is labeled?

Zarel Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Browsing not maximized is maschoistic? Let me ask, have you ever worked with any other software except games, in bigger resolutions than 1024*768? Do surf with non-maximized, because the thing is you can have several windows open without the need to alt tab or switching tabs, you immidately see changes. Hehe, that probably didn't make much sense :P. Yes, in fact, I usually work with 1280x1024. Okay, so browsing with non-maximized is understandable with resolutions higher than 1024x768 if you're multitasking, so I take that point back.

Media Discussion, and hehe guess what, I'm interested in media. more like interested in media complaining He isn't complaining he's just trying to figure out something. If he was complaining, he would act like you right now :wink: Complaining about this post. Anyways, I mostly like image signatures for the fact that they are just kind of ... your personality. Plus its nice to browse through and see others signatures. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altkill Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 All the reasons these guys mentioned, also, when skim reading a topic I've already read, or just looking for someone in paticular, I know when to stop because of the signatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of sad to jugde someone by looking at a little image? Or do you mean that you can recognize people? That's again, where the nickname and avatar comes in.

monkey_933 Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Personal, i like sigs because they are just fun to have, and they look cool. The only reason i can think of is because they look fun and kind of describe yourself, as nad said. And people have talents, and this is a place where they can show them off, and ask for help. |PERM BANNED ON MONKEY 933|RSN--44warriorz44-|90 str|86 attack|70 def|85 hp|52 pray|102 cmb--[Proud leader of Final Destination! http://z6.invisionfree.com/RSFinaldestination/index.php?Requirements for FD!

Tynnhammar Posted July 14, 2005 Author Share Posted July 14, 2005 If people do have talent, they should not be doing signatures, they should be exploring themselfs in larger aspects, as in wallpapers, websites etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but I don't really get you there. What I meant was, if discover that you have certain skills, for the love of god, do not spoil them on signatures! Do something at least a bit useful.

DementedHero Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Just to jump in on that, how exactly are wallpapers more usefull then sigs? Basicly, its the same. People use them, wether to view on their desktop, or to view them under each and every of their post.. I don't see much difference there.. Although I do agree with you that it isnt good to do only signatures if you really have talent. Exploring is good. Nice discussion you started btw.

Azvareth Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Meh, I just know that this board would be godawfully (is that even a word?) boring to browse forums without signatures. The little images add something, that at least sub-consciously, makes it funnier to read all the posts. Also, it's the whole identify-ing thing. I don't know about you, but I tend to skim through posts a lot, thus I don't really catch peoples' names, so signatures help me to quickly identify people. Yup. I'm lazy like that. // Azvi.

Well, I guess wallpapers maybe wasn't the best example, however it gives you alot more freedom/space to create wallpapers compared to signatures. Hi there Azvareth, I actually must disagree there, I don't usually go to forums because I wan't something nice to look at, but because I want to get info, in one way or another. Actually I've started to dislike off-topic parts of forum, however not totally but pretty often the discussions there are very much spam, or meaningless conversations Remember guys, I just want a gentle discussion about why there is signature-images, no hard feelings :).

Greatsilverwyrm Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Actually I've started to dislike off-topic parts of forum, however not totally but pretty often the discussions there are very much spam, or meaningless conversations Ironic that you would say that, here in this discussion . . . As to why there are images in signatures.. Many people have given good reasons already. Makes the forums more interesting to view, lets you recognize people, lets artists show their talent, etc..

Tynnhammar Posted July 14, 2005 Author Share Posted July 14, 2005 Nope, I haven't found one I liked enough yet, and I don't feel I really need to be recognized anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatsilverwyrm Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Yeah, alright, that's nice. It seems however, that a lot of people have found ones that they like. A rather large majority of the regular posters, in fact. How can you say your opinion is more valid than theirs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatsilverwyrm Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 I do find it trivial, it seems to me more of a "my opinion is ___" "but my opinion is ___", with nobody unwilling to change their opinion regardless of what anyone else says. Not that you aren't entitled to your opinion, but, what's the point of arguing if nobody is budging either way. I'll leave this open though..see where it goes.
