why do you put your gear in your signature?

[ecclesand]

i don't know what happened over the last couple weeks, but i go back to hf today and there's all these people that have these 20-30 line sigs full of everything electronic that they own...

With the outage, your personal settings may have been screwed up. Go into your HF profile and turn off the signatures.

[ph0rk]

It is a sort of stupid question to ask of a forum dedicated to a high-consumption hobby.

I assume it was just trolling however, as mjb has his own gearsig.

[philodox]

mjb, your name is rather close to mjg and I am finding it confusing. Please put your gear in your signature so I can tell you two apart. kthx

[aerius]

I make large sig for exposure because i am an attention whore.

Speaking of exposure and attention whoring, how about putting a nice sexy picture of yourself in your sig?

[hYdrociTy]

I would but I don't think the moderation here would appreciate any more exposure from me <.< bummer for you eh...

[Ben Gramain]

Cower before my sig, mortals.

I like to see what people have. It helps me understand where they may be coming from rather than just blowing in the wind.

NO! people have to guess.

My sig has the only gear I have that is not allowed on Head-Fi.

[postjack]

i put the gear in my signature, i put it there for you to read, i have a system of gear for my music, i put it in my signature for you to read and enjoy! and that is the reason!

[Dusty Chalk]

Sounds like Seuss:

I put it there for you to read;

I put it there, though there's no need;

I put it there with a smile on my face;

I put it there to put you in your place;

I put it there -- that's my sig's role;

That's why I put it there, you assfacehole.

That is possibly the best post I've read on h-c.

I like reading what people have so I have a frame of reference for what they like. I do it here so folks will know what I like. If your taste is different from mine, you'll know up front how to take anything I have to say. Also, I've cycled through a bit of gear, though not nearly as much as some people I know, but what I've kept, I really enjoy, and it's nice to be able to show it. Lord knows no one else in my daily life could give two hoots or have any idea what a K1000 can sound like. I know you guys do, and it's a way to share.

What's interesting is that I took gear out of my sig on head-fi. It got in the way of having meaningful conversations about anything that wasn't in my signature, which was limiting and boring. The op's toss off statement was indicative of how many people interpret things. I was trying to have a discussion in the Ultrasone thread, and sovkiller dismissed anything I said based on the fact I own R10s. How could I possibly hear what was good in anything else was his reasoning. I found the same in the thread about not "getting" the Denons, and almost viciously so in that Disturbing Trend thread. It got in the way, so I got rid of it. Now that the gear has disappeared from profiles, I'm not even sure I'll put it back in. Probably will, but have reservations. It's a pain to be put on the defensive when saying you don't like a certain anything, and people assume you're dissing it only because you own something "better" rather than having formed intelligent and careful opinions on whatever is being discussed. It shouldn't be that way, but it often is. It became not worth it to me.

[boomana]

Okay, Dusty....that was beautiful.

[Voltron]

Assfacehole is my new favorite word (even though I like gear in sigs).

Another victim of the Head-Fi outage! I replaced the HF.photo link with an active one although I can't remember if it is the same one I had before. I love "Get Your War On." Hilarious shit, and Voltron too!

Maybe I will add gear too some day.

ROFLMFOA! This is why I still check out Head-Case.
