I saw many people having some nice, funny, others intresting or full of youneedtoknow stuff.
So why did YOU choose that sig?

[Lettuce]

I can tell you why I chose my pic, but it's a really long story, and I don't want to get into it. A story of love, and betrayal...

As for my sig, it's cause I'm a talking head of lettuce. And I like my turtle programs.

[D3matt]

What sig?

[Lettuce]

See the grey text beneath my post? That's a sig. Or "signature" if you wanna be technical. You can set it under "My Profile."

[Noodle]

Because that really is my server + anti-virus.

[Cranium]

I'm just awesome. And I like to advertise my programs.

ftw?for the win?isn't a limit a bad thing?

And anyway, there's nothing against advertising your programs in your signature, it's advertising them in the middle of a forum post that's bad.
And if there was a 4 line limit, surely it would be strictly impossible to write more than 4 lines in a signature.

[Cranium]

I am aware of the limit "rule". I do also see that when you change it, it does say it can be as long as you want it. Adding one spoiler though eliminates about half of the length.
I seem to remember that this is just a suggestion from the admins on the forums, and is not strictly enforced. I have seen other people with sigs more than 4 lines in length. I have also seen people put lots of pictures in their sigs to make it ridiculously long.

[sjele]

I chose mine to tell you a msg and i told you what i was doing.
As to the picture thing, th op is a good example />

[Cranium]

See? Even Sjele's sig says I am awesome!

[sjele]

[Lettuce]

Don't get a big head Cranium. Get it? ha ha...

Okay, you win. I love your sig.

[ETHANATOR360]

i use this sig because its hilarious

[nitrogenfingers]

Ethanator360, your signature is fantastic! I looked it up and found a few great quotes I'm seriously thinking of using in place of my current signature (http://mattdturner.c...kes-and-quotes/)

“Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are–by definition–not smart enough to debug it.”
(Brian Kernighan)

“If debugging is the process of removing bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in.”
(Edsger W. Dijkstra)

My signature was modelled after mottos often used by universities and high schools that usually have something to do with unity or hard work, and was the motto of the on-line institute where I ran programming workshops. It's a play on the fact that turtles bring to mind slow moving and rather useless (if noble) creatures which at first glance they are, where their embodiment in minecraft has shown them to have diverse applications and often be more useful than some other mod features that can be much larger and more resource-demanding.

[BigSHinyToys]

I chose mine after reading responses in the "ask a pro" section like "this should work" when in fact they were giving out code with bugs in it. I don't really care if programs I make are used so I don't advertise them in my sig.

[Pharap]

Saw Nitrogen's programming quotes, had to counter with some quotes from one of the most genius programming linguists of all time: Larry Wall.

PS- bonus points for if you can spell Bjarne Stroustrup correctly (His name is as garbled as his language).
