Why do people put stats (# aces/"metal", etc.) in their signature?

[whitewaterhelix]

Just curious.

 

[Danger]

Maybe because they are usually 'that guy' that insists on telling you about every ace they ever made when you do a round with them?

 

[prerube]

bragging rights and nothing better to say

I like the attention! Speaking of I need to update my ace total!

quick question: whats 5 cubby aces?

 

[REDARMY]

good karma meter (discs returned)
pitiful attempt at bragging (ace count)

a cubby ace is basically where you empty your bag on a short hole to get an ace.

I'm not a fan of it.

A cubby ace would be throwing in a mulligan from the tee or throwing 100 discs at a basket until 1 goes in. I also counted my CTP ace I threw which was about 140' to a practice basket. They don't count as an ace because it wasnt a part of a round of DG, but it still is a great throw noneheless.

Here is a quick hint at who cubby is: cubby hits 300!

Truthfully I think it is good to have info like this on all your posts it tells a lot about you. The aces, thats just for selfish bragging rights thats all. The rest I think tells people a lot about you.

I think my signature speaks well to my personal philosophy.

Ahh begbie! I just realized who that was!

I was actually talking about the "Beer Is Good" part.

But Franco is indeed a cool, if twisted and demented character. Well maybe not cool, but at least interesting.

If I wanted to know about you I would have clicked on your profile.

Good thing I drive a Honda Accord, you can't get that info from my profile. I am glad you didn't click on my profile you stalker!

Maybe he wants you to know about him? I've pretty much gone blind to signatures, sort of like I've gone blind to banner ads. I didn't used to have one until a month or so ago, but now I have one for anyone who likes them. :|

So who here enjoys the beach over the mountain?

What political affiliation are you?

What is your favorite meal?

What is your blood type?

Why won't someone's sig answer all these questions and all the questions I haven't even thought of yet?

Damn you tiny sigs, you tell me nothing about these people

Nothing!
