Do you read peoples sigs?

Sandals

I am utterly surprised with the lack of action my signature is getting, do you people bother to read/check out peoples signatures?

Dub13

I do...and I hope people read mine

joejoem

if its eye catching and not complicated

tman

i usually ignore any sig with "click me" in it...
any sig with the word "me" in it tbh.

oh yeah. anyone that wants me to "check out my site" can get stuffed...

The Sweeper

I've never seen someone bump their own sig before... interesting...

airetam_storm

Not worth the effort of making a decent one :rolleyes:

grimloch

I'd have a gander at everyones sigs but I'd tend not to be bothered clicking any linkies. Like that fella whose sig had a log out link or something along the lines.

lol

I like the first image in joejoem's sig.

I normally only click AudioScrobbler links.

<insert something meaningful>

Oh look at my sig...

Sparky

i often have a look at sigs, there are a few funny ones out there.

*Angel*

The odd time.

Wertz

Only if it looks like it might interest me..."Click me!" or "My Blog" are a big turn off.
Something funny like a Flash animation or random soundfile is about my limit...I just hover to read the URL in the address bar; usually tells me if it's worth clicking or not.
Recall readin' someone's link on contaminated hash before, whcih told me a lot of stuff I wasn't fully aware of....bloggers, on the other hand, can bite my arse...

Stephen

Any sig with stupid boards icons gets ignored.

mike65

Almost never unless its for music. Which reminds me blatent plug!

Must put it back as my sig....

Mike.

Hehe. Only a few clicked it, but it was fun all the same

=-=

Depends who it is, I may check their blog out.

Also, if I'm bored, I click to see where they lead to. Unless its some leftie crap.

rsynnott

I tend to report the particularly oversized ones to SIGPO, cause I'm mean like that.

snorlax

mine always has to have some kind of cat/ kitten in it!

StonedParadoX

any sig with pictures in are largely ignored cuz it basically says alot for that user

but most of the time i read em

Feenikusu

If it looks interesting I read it.

Sarky

I use mine to look important and lord it over people. I don't actually belong to any private boards...

You fail rather miserably, tbh

DrIndy

Mine too ages to make the first time - but now use it on all boards I post on (mostly here though)

Yeah mine is classic alright.

Scarinae

I think most people do, it's hard not to when you're scanning through a thread. I get the occassional PM from people giving me a new language to add to my sig!

(What do you think of my sig?)

scuba steve

If its short and sweet yes or if it has pictures

Geiger

I read/look at them...but if they require any clickage then it gets more serious, yes sir, totally different ball game.

scuba steve

would you click mine?

Ciaran500

Turned them off recently, got sick of the wasted space and too many big text sigs that I couldn't block. Don't feel any need to turn them back on.

I was tempted to nut decided not to

The thing about your sig is most people probably have no idea what it's about. When I read 'me for rent' I think of people advertising t-shirt space or something...or those people who get temporary tattoo's to promote something. I will click it though, right now.

I do when the sig stands stands out, i.e. if it's a vivid image or it's a topic I'm interested in etc.

Citizen_Erased

I'll usually glance at them if they dont seem to full o crap. It hard not to look at images but I hardly ever follow links in them. Mainly cause I'm on a 56k and it would waste time.

The only reason I didn't click on yours is because when I hovered over it, a Boards URL appeared, so I assumed I had seen it already. Besides that, I believe the image is very effective if put to good use.

tba

only if it says free beer.

MooShop

yeah i usually do, some of them are really funny!!!
