Sigs could help people in their struggle to distinguish certain members a bit, it gives a member a 'deeper' identity. Of course it only works if people don't all use the same picture in their signatures... I recall from the BGDungeon period we suddenly had 6 or 7 people who got the exactly same picture of Drizzt in their sig, and many people replied to a certain person while thinking it was someone else because they thought they automatically identified that person because of that signature.

I am not a big fan of Sigs. I dont mind a few words, but people who use big massive sigs and animated sigs(No offense, Curian) annoy me as they slow down the thread Tremendously, I get really annoyed when the thread comes to a stand still because of them.
I dont mind all of them just the really big ones, why cant people decrease the size of there pictures. |

I'll stick with Grojlach's explanation and in the mean while, use this thread for a minor sig test.

I have just got a pic from the Beautiful Freak album by the Eels, because I like the album a lot and the pic is quite good. I am changing the writing every week, a different phrase each time. All from the same album, mostly summing up my views on life. Thats why I use it really, an expression. And because I like the look of it. Also I think Sir Curian has a point about being able to spot your own posts, you can tell if you have already posted something at a quick glance when you look in a thread.

Well, I'll have to go with Barry on this, I like my pic, and also, as Curian says, you can spot your posts easier [img]smile.gif[/img]

I use my sig because:
- I think it's very good made (thanks again Saz!:thumbsup) - Easy to see when scrolling down messages - Cool to have something that people can 'notice' you, so it kinda becomes a trademark. see ya! |

Originally, I just wanted to be "cool" like everyone else. Peer pressure I guess...lol.
But in the end, all the reasons listed previously, have made it practical.

Well, I think sigs are very cool and I do like being able to tell at a glance who has posted. We once posted who we thought had the strangest, prettiest, creepiest, etc. sigs. We don't seem to have a prob here with people using the same pic. I have never seen my sig (I use the avatar on other sites) used anywhere else. BTW a friend made it for me.
