Sorry, but I have to ask....


Recommended Posts

I haven't felt the urge to use a sig yet, the 'heavy metal monkey' bit says as much about me as I want you crowd to know :)

If i did, it would probably say 'flibble' or 'pants' in lots of colours.

There is nothing wrong with your sig.  It's the people who have really large image files and/or more than 15 lines of text that are kind of pushing it.  Please do not take "15 lines" as the gospel, that is just a general estimation.

I know the kind you're talking about, although none of them really compare to Administrator's sig!

I don't have the time to read all the replies to this thread, so here are my thoughts and suggestions:

Members of this community, whether it be a thirteen year old or a thirty year old, like to discuss anything that is on their minds.  People have the right to do that.  Some of the comments that have been made on topics like this, however, have led to the thread being closed by the mod due to degrading comments.

For goodness sakes, people, please do not start another flame war over this or any other thread.  Thank you.

EXACTLY. When people ask for maturity, they don't ask you to talk only about computing on the forums. We are a community, and we don't live only of computers... discussing about amd and intel is good, just as it is nice to talk about "what music are you listening to right now" or something... the thing is: don't flame on a discussion when others don't agree with your opinion and don't make distracting threads become a flame war because you think they are useless, and for god's sake, don't clone other threads!

Other than that, we are here to learn and have fun (who said we need to be serious while on the forums? :D)

I've also noticed double standard on this forum, Mods and Members following seperate rules.

One case which has just been closed by Keldyn springs to mind, where various members work has been leeched by a mod with zero consequence.

I realise this may get edited and I may get a warning but frankly I don't care :roll:

Yes it does, this thread is concerning the behaviour of members when in fact the behaviour of mods get ignored.

I hate to say it, but you are right, TheGodFather. The "Who is SCOOBIE?" thread definately comes to mind. Once a thread is closed, it should be closed to EVERYONE, including moderators.

And BTW, you should not get a warning for speaking the truth. I should not either.

It's not away from this board. Members of Neowin created Icons for everyone else, Iconman has taken these and packaged them up. This concerns the people who created the icons, I can understand if he asked them but I know he didn't.

I know for a fact that DigitalResource is not happy with this, and other icon creators I have spoken to, you have to remember that Neowin only consists of members and if you **** those off...

Perhaps you should have done a little research beforehand.

This is the main reason why so many members who used to post their work on Neowin no longer do so.:(

Regardless, this is the best resource around for icons, tips, mods, gossip, news, and conversation.

I have 3 pages I check first thing int he morning:

www.news.com -> for my stocks

www.formula1.com -> I am a rabid fan

www.neowin.net -> ummm duh

I can handle retarted or immature posts, but again, those sig files. I have DSL and its nto even the load it, its such a waste.

Okay so there is a hot chick . . . why put her on your sig? Its nto you and no one believes her to be your girlfriend. why use it? And then those people who list in ad nauseum their computer spec on a pic of their computer. Better yet, there is one member (whose name escapes me) who has a pic of an iMac and the specs for 2 PC systems, along with AOL, ICQ, MSN and Yahoo messenger - oh lest we forget their 4 email addresses and the hot chick. thats just too much and pointless.

I am all for free speech - but if I ran a site where people could put sig files, I woudl really limit their size to like 20x20 or even smaller! ;)

No text.  If you want words in your sig file it has to be done in MorseCode.

"signatures suck"

Seeing as some people are keeping me from getting to my day job, i will be brief. Junk was posted that was (IMHO) grossly off topic. I don't want, and im sure neither do alot of other members want to come in here and see this thread filled with useless posts constituting dashes and lines. I have closed it because of this. When someone posts something stupid please do not add to it. You just make the situation worse. Stick to the orginial topic of the thread and everything will be just peachy.
