    whats with all the users with their system specs in their sigs + a picture
    so the sig takes up half the screen @ 1024x768 res

    if you are one of these people can you explain it?

    The specs are for the digital form of wang envy... Can't help with the pic though...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,891 ✭✭✭Jammer


    people who post alot in "Computers" or "Tweaking/Modding" usualy put their specs in sigs so they dont have to type it out everytime they're posting advice or looking for help. I guess theres an element of showing off involved too. I don't know about a pic, i don't have one...

    I didnt know it was a problem, i use 1920 x 1200 most of the time...

    but most of them like yours break the sig rules

    maybe if you put a link where people could click to read your specs it would be better

    Its a geek thing, it makes up for a small penis...

    ya i think it can be overlooked in that case

    btw i have no problem with system specs in sigs, just the ones that break the sig rules

    so going by that.. the faster the processer and the more bandwidth you have and the more money you spend on your pc... the smaller the lad???

    it all makes sense now... :eek:

    is that not just because you are a cheap ass with a small lad???

    aye it gets to the stage where you can actually have a negative penis size. most of these guys are from sweden with T3 connections and have vapochills.

    one day i hope to achieve such a status


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,441 ✭✭✭✭jesus_thats_gre


    Oh to have a negative penis length!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,889 ✭✭✭Third_Echelon


    Oh to have a negative penis length!!

    i think its called 'womanhood'...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,560 ✭✭✭Woden

    Well it is coming into the pantomine season , no harm in getting in a little practise.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,817 ✭✭✭✭po0k


    Why not just put a link in your sig (using the size=1 tags) to your spec on a web-page somewhere?

    Jammer, your's is nicely formatted, if a bit long.

    I've seen a few abominations around here though.

    It must be a penis thing. I don't put my system specs in my sig, and I don't have a penis. ERGO you know... whatever.


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    I love it when people on sig threads have sigs that break the rules.

    Its like having pizza delivered to your door.

    I'll give them 24 hours and then set Cloud and his unholy script of DOOM loose :)

    Hear! Hear!

    It's the only oppertunity some of 'em get to show off their peni ... Er, systems and as in real life it's easy enough to ignore them too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,478 ✭✭✭GoneShootin


    My "system" isnt good enough to put into a sig :(

    does that script only work for pics or does it work on people that have too much text?
    what about peole who have both?

    I will insert several large blunt objects into their digestive tracts in a manner I am sure to find humorous.

    How come women don't go around making big huge sigs in order to compensate for their little teeny boobies?

    You men are silly.

    Also, isn't it possible to turn off sigs in your User CP?

    Yep think it's midway down the "edit options" page....

    i'd like to apologise for being silly and having a small penis...... :D

    and you know what. no matter how much glue you put on your car, and no matter how many times you ram-raid Halfords, its still a fÚcking saxo.

    buy a decent car!

    as for the PC spec thing. who knows. i dont think there are mant people above, oh, 16 that have the specs in their sig, are there?

    16's the limit damn i didn't know that

    /me rushes off to remove them

    for a somewhat serious answer. on other boards having the rig in sig saves a lot of hassle for pure techie boards such as overclockers.co.uk and hexus.net and such saves you have to say what you have each time you have a problem or want to ask a question.

    the same applies here but in a much more limited fashion so it boils down to mainly showing off to people to other people who actually care about such things

    Jesus, you have a luminous keyboard Data?!


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 23,363 Mod ✭✭✭✭feylya

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,892 ✭✭✭bizmark
