Is there a reason that our posts/profiles cannot have sigs? Most Fora seem to allow them. Is there a specific reason you do not have them here?
I would like it, if that means anything.
I also like PMs, personally. Sometimes I want to ask a question or talk to someone, but not hijack a thread ot do it, and that would help.
You guys might have a rationale I don't know about, so let me hear it.
Private messages are on the to-do list, in one form or another.
Signatures are evil.
Personally, sigs disturb my rhythm when I'm trying to read down a thread but the PM would certainly be a welcome addition.
Smilies are the devil.
Smiles are the devil, I agree.
And what do we burn apart from smilies? MORE SMILIES!

Oh good grief, signatures and smilies are immature and asinine! Please, dear Paizo, keep them away from these boards.
If someone feels especially drawn toward expressing themselves through wit and animation go to the WotC boards. I'll even help you out: here is the link.
I apologize if this is somewhat angry, but this is something I feel strongly about.

i like smiles.........BUT I don't want them on these boards. I did at one point but changed my mind.
The PM's will be cool as I am a major thread-jacker(among other things).
Signatures Suck and have done nothing but clutter up the WotC boards with self-important people's meager attempts at wit. Wit that they found somewhere on the net and scavenged to try to make them look smart/funny/cool.

Thank you The Jade, you are, of course, correct. Blind rage rarely solves anything.
Furthermore, you said it far more eloquently a few posts above. There is so much amazing information on these boards I would hate to have them cluttered by a bunch of flash and glitter. I vote to leave Paizo smilie and signature free.
I think it would be cool, for D20 Modern, if a bunch of Smileys climbed out of someone's computer screen and started nibbling on them.
Wouldn't those technically be called Nibbleys? Course the Smileys still on the computer could sit there and watch (while smiling of course).

Reminds me of this National Lampoon I read with Cliff's Notes for the classics.
Crime and Punishment's Cliff's Note read:"A guy kills a mean old lady and feels real bad."
That was so much easier than reading Crime and Punishment.

Oh, who are we kidding? Meet back here at 1am EST and we'll drive over to the poolhall where the smilies and sigs hang out. When they leave we'll be waiting by their cars then we'll jump out, ballbat their knees, and steal their toupees.
Sometimes swift and blinding violence is the only answer.
I would like to note I did not suggest smilies.
Sigs, text-only at least, I like, because alot fo time you learn about other posters or hear funny things. I don't like ridiculous pictures or video either, but just a thought.
Again, it's a suggestion. No need for anyone to try and slam on me or send me away to other boards, thank you. I don't care how angry you get.

You do care. You know you do. Bring it in here for a hug.
Come on... don't be tough. Hugtime.
if I hear one more person use "like" or "as" to describe two unlike things. . . GRRRR. . . The Jade, you just let me know when you plan to kneecap those sonsab##~*es. . .
Kind of drives me batty as well. It makes trying to have an argument impossible with certain people. You learn to just not try. Hardest part of the game is not playing it.
Man... speaking of going to other boards, let's move on over to rants! ;)

Dude, nothing personal - I was not attacking you individually. It's like when two unlike things are compared with an as. Sometimes things rub the wrong way. I can hate the smilie and still love you, in a macho, male kinda not-violating-your-personal-space kind of way.
Sure would be good to have a "Email Notification" of reply to topic. I'd vote for that before PMs as I find that much more useful, but that's just me. Right now I am always ckecking in on fave subjects to see if there are responses. As such I sometimes miss questions/replies, etc, for days, sometimes weeks at a time.
EM Notifications are like a ring from the gang to join the fun in posting and on the low-side lets you know hen folks are posting so you can jump in right away and everyone can expresss at the moment, which is cool for expanding subjects or commentary when they are hot or interesting. IMHO.
I would make manly love to such an option. When I search my name in the message boards to find replies I see the last 100 times anyone even mentioned the word 'jade', and they aren't sorted by time and date. If I don't remember any keywords specific to something I wrote, or the topic title, I'm fresh outta luck.

You rock like Gibraltar, Vic.
I just stand behind Gary and point at his screen. He does all the work.Heh. Vic points and says, "Why are we doing it that way? That's stupid. This way would be much better."
He's right 99.99999% of the time. Paizo would not be the awesome company it is without him.
Going up for your quarterly review Mr. Teter? Just Kidding!!!
keep up the good work!Smilies = Type V Demon
PMs = much gooder
text only sigs = tolerable at best. We've seen all the good ones by now.

Lucky you!
I've spent the entire week banging my head against the desk because I have the opposite problem - the person standing behind my desk doesn't know what the frak they're doing.But it's shiny and pretty, so it's okay - right?

Mmmm, no. Heh. I actually believe this. Plus Lisa, Erik, James, Jason, Jeff and everybody else here makes this one freaking awesome company. I just wanted to point out Vic's role because I think most people don't know about it.

Unfortunately PM's are not coming RealSoonNow. We want them, we will have them. But not just yet.
Also, sigs are evil. And I apologize to the original poster, I was the one who brought up the fact that smilies are evil. Because they are.
Mmmm, no. Heh. I actually believe this. Plus Lisa, Erik, James, Jason, Jeff and everybody else here makes this one freaking awesome company.
We can tell just by the way they take the time to post on these boards. Thanks guys and gals!
I personally like sigs. If nothing else they give me a place to plug my messageboard on the other cool kids's messageboards.
PMs are nice too.
I'm rather eh about smilies and animations and graphics in sigs. They don't bug me overly much, but I don't use them and they add little to the experience for me.
I would make manly love to such an option.Good god, man! That's how computer viruses are spread! Laminate it before you stick it in the USB port!
You're saying I'd fit into a USB port? Fie and for shame! Gav, the only way I can make love to a computer is if I chuck a shot put through the screen first.
I did that to my girlfriend's monitor. She didn't know exactly what to be mad about first. She said the visual of that day was so ugly that it would haunt her forever, but a few months later she's all kittenish around the subject and fantasizes about a threesome with the toaster.

Heh. Me too. Except it's been about 2 weeks. *shakes head*
I like sigs, when they're text only and short. I keep forgetting to append my name to the end of posts.
I like smilies, but I agree they don't really seem to be a fit for this message board.

Hmmm. . .
I had heard The Jade was plagued with a "floppy disk"What I want to know is,
is that 3 1/2"?
or 5 1/4"?
lol. It's all hard drive and got its own back-up generator, maaaaaaaaaaan.
lol. It's all hard drive and got its own back-up generator, maaaaaaaaaaan.you ever get it caught in the zip drive?
Yeeouch!
Actually, when I was eight years old I was in a cabin by a lake in the woods and my skittles did indeed get caught in the zipper of my shorts. Painful to be sure, but having my mother yank at the zipper like a chainsaw pull while six other woman looked on in horror was even more painful. It wouldn't be the last time I was half naked and being tortured in front of a room full of dressed woman but at least it was the last time my mother would summon the genie of the torn scrote.
"Whaddya tryin' to PUREE me, Ma?!"
lol. When I was four my mom's friend's German Shepherd came bounding up to me. I ran (it was huge to me) and it bit me in the ass.
Fun is having your mom and 6-8 other RN's checking your bum every 1/2 hour to see if it's all right.
Yeah, my ass is all right. What about my head?
Egads.
Since we're having a private confessional here. Speaking of dogs... my mom's friend brought over this 80lb standard poodle when I was seven and without understanding what was happening, the brute mounted me in the backyard. Everyone was laughing and I didn't know why. I thought he was wrestling, and he was having a great time at that.
He was a much better wrestler than I was. That's all I'm gonna say. Well that and that I was, of course, fully dressed for this bestial encounter.
Wanna know the sick part (that didn't actually happen)? Dog sent me flowers the next day with a card: "I really enjoyed yesterday."
