We need longer signatures

hell...no.

signatures should be limited to a one-line nonsensical slightly humorous phrase.

a complete listing of all your machines is just damned annoying.

Second the hell no.

A signature is displayed every time you post. As such, it should be short and sweet because people are going to see it hundreds of times over.

If you really feel that it is important to show off all of your machines, create a web page and add a link to that page in your signature.

Third the hell no. Its not like people read the huge listing of computers anyways, and they add alot of length to topics. I'm going to change mine once I come up with a witty phrase for it. *ponders*

The current signature limit is 500 characters, which should be more than enough... I'm not going to increase it anytime soon.

Does that include returns? 500 CRs would be a really annoying sig...

Yep it does, unfortunately! I'll remove anyone's signature that does that though [:eek:)] ]'>

But, but, but ...

What if we really want to emphasize that we have nothing to say? ;)

Regardless of format, the avatars take up more bandwidth than even the most excessive of sigs... of course I'm playing Devil's advocate here.

Quadraman - you might want to think about an animated giff featuring your whole collection rather than just listing them in your sig.
