Do you look at signatures?

[Afgncaap5]

I updated my signature last night, and managed to word it so that I have exactly 1 (count 'em, 1) character left available, just in case I want to go back some time and add a ~ or something.

Anyway, while it's true that some signatures are interesting or funny, I can't say that I really look at them. And much as I'd like for my personal signature to get lots and lots of new readers for Schlock Mercenary (one of the best comedy space operas of modern time), I have to realize: I don't really go to other people's links or read their jokes unless it's REALLY eye-catching. And sometimes, I know people complain about the eye-catching signatures for being extra large and causing pages to load slower.

So while I know that links on signatures get clicked (thank you for joining the Freeform RPG! You know who you are...too bad it's too quiet there and I'm doing all the talking. Sorry...), how much attention do we really pay to them?

Shall I begin selling adspace on mine?

If they catch my eye; and even then I pay little attention.

Hell no.

Who wants to have to read the save stuff over and over when somebody posts a reply?

Turn it off, and its much easier to read the thread.

I agree. But I always end up reading everything trying to follow the thread. (The eyes. They ain't so good no more.)

we won't even dicuss In_Stereo's attempt to kill me with that ONE link.

I occasionally click on some links, when I'm bored. Some of the more clever ones catch my eye. For me, the sig is another way to help distinguish people.

[mightyjack]

Being a narcissist, I often click on my own signature.



;D
Seriously -
When I spot a new one, as a courtesy I check them out (I mean, what kind of arrogant prick would I be if I hoped for hits on my website but ignored others efforts? LOL)



Edit: BTW, I've always been impressed with your site, Afg, very professional, very sharp... You're a talented lad indeed.

[mummifiedstalin]

Note to the world: mine is a link.

[Da Worm Fizzle]

I never have enough time to check out all the links. Sorry.

[siamesesin]

I just like putting goofy stuff in mine. But I do check out the sigs most of the time.

[Shep]

Not always, but often.

HAHA! I feel like saying, "My friend, my friend? You've been kicked in the n*ts!"

BTW, nice touch, whoever changed my title... I'd appreciate it if it were changed back, though.

I can change it back for you.
What did it used to be?

It said "FBI" instead of "Bush."
