AggieDave 6 #1 February 11, 2003 Folks, please add a blank line above the text in your sig, it helps a LOT when reading posts. Also, please add "-- " too, that's an old Usenet thing that helps bring the sigline out from the text of posts.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

AggieDave 6 #5 February 11, 2003 I posted what I did in reference to a some poster's siglines I keep seeing that run directly into their posts, its annoying enough that half the time I just skip their post all together...

AggieDave 6 #9 February 11, 2003 hehe...did you ever use Gopher? That's old army right there, I doubt half the people on the 'net even know what that is, even though its not that old.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Gawain 0 #10 February 11, 2003 No never used Gopher, but I was a regular with SprintNets "Telemail" system, which was an early email/bulletin board type service. By the way, my same ol' sig isn't confusing you is it? Time to change it soon anyway...perhaps a poll... So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

AggieDave 6 #11 February 11, 2003 Oh, SprintNet, that and TRWnet, man, those are some memories.(I first got online in 1987 and BBSed some back then too, got real involved in 89/90. Yeah, I know I was 10 in 1990, but I was weird like that). --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomAiello 26 #12 February 11, 2003 Perhaps you ought to post to Suggestions, and ask for an increase in the sig allotment?I know that many people have trouble getting their sig into four lines, and still leave room for spacers. I had to delete the quote from the end of mine to get my email address and spacing in.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #13 February 11, 2003 Instead of more sigline room, I'm going to ask for an automagic space. People tend to abuse the more room, before long, we'll have page long sigs of worthlessness.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

I remember using Archie to find Phrack. The local BBS scene died out and I switched to the Internet not to long before all of the cool "find" services died off.

TomAiello 26 #15 February 11, 2003 Did you see Sangiro's response to that idea?Adding a few lines might be easier than the source code changes he'd have to make for an automatic spacer or delineator.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jessica 0 #17 February 11, 2003 QuoteThe local BBS scene died out and I switched to the Internet not to long before all of the cool "find" services died off. Whoa. I'm suddenly remembering my modem infancy. I was all into local BBSes in high school, then in early college, was telnetting all over the damn place. Anyone remember shadowbbs, or ISCA, or brinta? When I went off to school my parents got me a computer with a 14.4 modem, quite a step up from the 2400 we had at home. Holy shit. The first time I tried to pull up a "web" page I thought it was broken because it was loading so slowly. This was 1994.Skydiving is for cool people only Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gawain 0 #18 February 11, 2003 I remember when I upgraded from a 1200 baud modem on SprintNet to 2400 baud and thought I was the sh*t in the early 90's. My first ISP account was with AOL in 1994 at the same whopping 2400 kbps. Where has the time gone? So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

TheBile 0 #19 February 11, 2003 Aggie - You've been promoting this as much as possible, and although most people pay attention I don't think your ever gonna rid this place of the annoying lack of sig-space. Respect to you for trying your damedest though. Gerb I stir feelings in others they themselves don't understand. KA'CHOW ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RevJim 0 #24 February 11, 2003 I didn't hit the 'net in any way, shape, or form until mid 1998. That's not saying I wasn't into computers though. I started programming around the age of 9, in 1980, on a 99/4a (mine), a TRS80 (friends) and eventually a few Commodores (school), then on the Apple, and eventually the PC.It's your life, live it!
