[OT] Do you guys read signatures or only posts?

[Melkor, Lord Of ALL!]

I am just curious, since I am person who likes to have the attention of others.

[BluWolf]

I will usually only check a sig if the poster refers to a link there. I have found some nice campaign websites that way.

But I mostly ignore.

If I enjoyed the post I'll often check out the sig - always interesting to see what facet of the personality the individual has chosen to expose there.

My sig DOES reflect my personality in a certain way.

A short sig (one line) is welcome. Much above that, and I feel your ego is eating my screen space.

this would make much more sense to me if screen space weren't nearly infinitely available thru a little scrolling

seriously, i do know what you mean, it is just like great quotes, "snappy enuf to sting, short enough to fit between drinks"

THe signiture, the little thing below the post. My says "We apologize for the incovinece."

[fba827]

Because I got annoyed with the big flashy sigs (the ones with large graphics that take forever to load on my slow connection) I have sigs turned off so I don't actually see anyone's sigs. So, the answer would be "never"

[Taloras]

Always. Of course, i love mine......

[Piratecat]

Good rule of thumb: A sig should never be longer than the post above it. If you're posting something short, it's good manners to uncheck the sig box. Same thing goes for if you've already posted your sig earlier in the thread.

Hear, hear.

I try to read most sigs at least once. But some are too long for their own good.

[Heretic Apostate]

I don't read sigs, nor look at avatars.

Why?

Because I chose the options that blocked those from appearing on my screen. My connection is slow enough without tossing them into the mix, too.

[tburdett]

I never read them. They are a complete waste of bandwidth and space. Ego stroking should be done in private.

[Piratecat]

I'm stroking my ego right now, if you know what I mean... and I think you do.

[Zappo]

I read them, usually. I don't add the sig to my short posts. Except now.

Well, mine started off short, but it grew over time. Then again, I don't really think it's an ego thing for most folk.

Hey, Jarval! Read Piratecat's above post, too (i.e., the one about how to use sigs), and be embarrassed, ok?
