I have a 19" lcd, how big do I need a lcd to be when I'm literally two feet away from it? Clutter be gone!

The wind should be blowing.

Very nice!!

I've got a 1440x900 15" widescreen on my Macbook Pro, and I don't think that the page gets too cluttered.. maybe I'm just used to it though.

Heh, it's a unique gadget whore solution to recommend a larger monitor because someone chose to remove signatures.

There is a deep question underneath all this. Every head-fi'er should take stock once a year and ask themselves, "do I suffer from signature creep?".

You know who you are...

if you turn off signatures, you won't know what gear is being used. so if somebody says that "all amps sound the same" you can't really bash them unless you see in their sig "Apple iBud".

Ah...that's more like it. Browsing is so much faster now!

Since I am the only one on headfi that loves the GS-1000 I assume you're talking to me ha ha.

I used to just have "system" in my signature along with 2 links for feedback. But I kept getting people that asked me what I have and I realized no one checked my system. Since I put my signature on people point out things about what I have and what I should get, etc. I like it.

I will keep my creep in check though. In fact, I'd like to minimize my signature (system) even more.

much better. i took off avatars also.

Im only interested in new stuff mostly and people will almost always talk in comparison to what they already have in the body.

Not in the slightest my friend! It was purely coincidental. Trust me.

Oh and one of my favorites headphones is the SA5K. So trust me, I know how that feels.

Great suggestions, many thanks. It's really much better now. The option has always been there but somehow not apparent until it has been brought to attention here.

Following the good example, I deleted mine as well. In the last 2 years, I've only used the signature occassionally to advertise personal sales using small font sizes but I think that it's annoying if people aren't interested in the sale.


And just some random, subjective rant even if it's in the past by now:
- Jokes are rendered un-funny if repeated many times in signatures
- If you want to list your rig, please do so in your profile or at least make it unobstrusive
- Teams are not funny, don't make you elitist, give you free vouchers or make you cool. Ok, sometimes it's funny, but seldomly so
- It's so obvious if certain signatures are trying really hard to be unique, funny, or special that it hurts
- Some signatures are really good but it's the clear minority
In my honest opinion, most signatures are just pure and utter noise. Turning off that noise was a good idea.

Edit: Like your Rothko avatar.
