I hate 'em. They take up too much space; single sentence replies can take up half a page, and intrude on the flow of conversations. I'd love to disable them. How does everyone else feel?
Your place for discussion about RPGs, gaming, music, movies, anime, computers, sports, and any other stuff we care to talk about...
Signatures
- Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.
I don't mind either way.

Keep signatures, there's no reason to turn the Shrine sterile.

Funny, I was just about to bitch about Seeker's large sig, and suddenly it's half the size. I wonder why...
Rosalina: But you didn't.
Robert: But I DON'T.
Rosalina: You sure that's right?
Robert: I was going to HAVE told you they'd come?
Rosalina: No.
Robert: The subjunctive?
Rosalina: That's not the subjunctive.
Robert: I don't think the syntax has been invented yet.
Rosalina: It would have had to have had been.
Robert: Had to have...had...been? That can't be right.
Robert: But I DON'T.

Rosalina: No.

Its a better more customizable and easier to Administrate forum. I use it at work for our reps.

Being married to a programmer is like having a cat. You talk to it but you're never really sure if it hears you, much less comprehends what you say.
No, I've looked into it. Our version of phpBB (2.something) doesn't have that functionality, and I'm not even sure if version 3 does - and if I was Sine, I'd be wary of upgrading. Disabling sigs is a board-wide operation.Lox wrote:I don't mind them really, to be honest.
Sine, is it possible to disable them on a per user basis? Or even better, on a per user basis, disable them only for certain other users (using a list of names or something)?
I hate phpBB. If I were to upgrade, I'd go to something like SMF. However, that would also require some level of commitment to at least get the user posting styles in place. Also, I would probably want to tackle some of the other features that I've been meaning to port over from RPGBoard. (I still have the list.)
Used to be that I had plenty of time from 3rd shift to do that sort of thing. Nowadays, Perl coding is actually my job and I don't have much time to work on that type of extra stuff.

Please make sure you bring over the following:SineSwiper wrote: Also, I would probably want to tackle some of the other features that I've been meaning to port over from RPGBoard. (I still have the list.)
1) GUI
2) Structure
3) Full script
Thanks :-)
I was there on that fateful day, were you?
I look at the old format and it just looks way, way too... old. It reminds me of the Internet circa 1990 and that's not a good thing. No offense, but it's ugly by today's standards and even the organizational style of the posts was poor.
PHPBB may be crappy to admin and manage, but it's a solid format that works well and presents content in an easily readable manner. Oh, and no more fucking "-NT" posts... god those were annoying.

Sine, just nuke this site from orbit. Or leave it sitting derelict, a monument to the follies of our youths. I wouldn't mind a fresh start at a fresh, clean forum.
On the topic: I would welcome the opportunity to not view sigs.
Also, Zeus is so old.

Nuke the forum? Awww, but I was just starting to get comfortable...
