sigline poll

How many cpf users view siglines when they browse? Please post why you made your choice.

Sometimes it's fun just to read other members sigs.

I got something in my sigline. It would be rude for me to block others while expecting everyone to veiw mine.

Often they are informative. Cromag put a link in his to our local get together... Haveblue put a link to his mods... and yea, sometimes, it's just fun to read them... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I find some signature lines to contain very useful links - at least a couple of which ended up on my website.

I find a lot of people (myself included) list their lights in their sig, or at least the ones they like to mention. It helps me to get an idea where they're coming from when certain lights are discussed. .

I always pay attention them. They are often informative, interesting or just plain funny!

I think that they are a waste of bandwidth.

I like the sigs alot, and as a matter of fact, i have been wanting to find time to make a sigline image for myself. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I've been waiting for this thread to come up.
A million years ago, I saw a cartoon in a magazine that had a skunk with a big grin on his face. His dialog balloon said "I stink, therefore I am" I thought it was a funny parody on René Descartes. Then years later (read now) I saw Newbie's paradoy. Then Photon Wrangler (I think it was) came up with "I.P., therefore I am". At that point, I had to do the skunk thing......
Edit. Roy, I guess you could say I'm stinking up the bandwidth /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crackup.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nana.gif

I didn't know you could turn them off... But I like them because I learn about a lot of kewl lights that are out there. If I see a name of one that I don't recognize, I sometimes do a search and find out some great stuff or end up getting it if or when it's available. Oh, and I love some of the quips, like - behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes, or is that an ARC AAA in your pocket or are you really that small. Those gave me a chuckle /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif (hope I remembered those correctly)

Hey Roy and UncleFester,
that would be a cool SigLine:

I remember the first sig I ever saw that I liked on CPF was the one that Electrolumens uses. "resistance is futile" Did he mean in a light so they are brighter? or buying his? That was great!

And yes I agree with you danno. I think we need to get danielo_d a new sigline LOL. I'm not against crude ones but they have to be even better than a regular one to come across. I'll stew on it for a while /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I used to keep them off to save bandwidth. Then I saw references to other's siglines and turned the feature on in order to observe. I decided to keep the feature on and read them as there is even more information available. I start to glaze over when I see the same sig over and over in the same post. That's why I apply my sig selectively.

Yep, guilty as charged. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Having some background in networking and Internet protocol, it seemed to fit. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Btw, Descartes was sitting in a bar one day, finishing up his drink. The bartender came over and asked "would you like another?" "I think not," Descartes replied, and --Poof!-- ...he disappeared.

I can't stand it when people have a photo of some rare flashlight in their sigline - You know they're just using it to **** off JT and Darell etc. It's disgraceful.

I'm gonna beat the snot out of you at SHOT Al.

In that case, I won't bring the purple A2! So there!!
I thought you may have liked to have Shelby take your photo with you holding it?

You see what trouble siglines cause?

Purple! Wow - neat light.
