    Anyway, a left wing egomanical Irishman pulling down your signature must surely add variety to your life.

    Ive been on boards were masked swearing e.g. F*uck you you mother f*cker'' could get you band. Some incredibly conservitive stuff all together but at least they had the decency to give me a warning when my sig pic was a few pixels oversized before they took it down.

    Boards.ie - Never claimed to be decent.

    Seriously, I probably would warn people about the hideous monstrosities in their signatures if it wasn't for the fact that I'm deleting about 10 a day lately.

    Actually, no, I wouldn't, I always just delete the things. It's not like it was an intricately formatted piece of text that took you ages to do (those ones I tend to warn about or surgically cut out the images), it was a link to a URL. You can replace it with a properly sized picture quite quickly once you've found/made one and in the meantime people aren't getting annoyed by your oversized graphics.

    I disable sigs. They are for the most part vanity boards and I find I have to scroll down through crap to read anything intresting (yes I know I have a sig :p).

    I only leave the icons on as it helps me see quickly who is who.

    So what did this sig look like?

    Anyone else think that the title page should change to

    Boards.ie - NOT A FSCKING DEMOCRACY

    Might cut down on the whining

    You should write and complain to Brian Oards, proprieter of this fine establishment. I hear he's very against this sort of thing.

    But perhaps they could take into account the lowest common denominator and actually make an effort to highlight these important pieces of legislation during the signup process. A few links in the sign up email wouldn’t go a miss tbh.

    Its that long since I signed up I've forgotten what one gets on sign-up, but thats not a bad idea. Maybe a link to the ten worst crimes on boards...you know, adware questions on security, thinking boards is a democracy, spilling ecksor's pint, pis*ing in the deep end...
