I used to have the sound clip from Monty Python's Holy Grail where the guy gets shot in the chest by the arrow with the note on it. When I'd get mail I'd hear a shhhhhhThunk "Message for you sir".Mitthrawnuruodo said:

I love that, might have to fiddle with my phone tonight.
And yep that just made my ratio worse. Oh well.
Then you'll probably like my system warning sound, toomad jew said:That is the single coolest way to find out about new mail, ever!
...nah... I haven't used it, yet. I use the theme from a certain TV series at the moment... and this one for when I get an SMS...killuminati said:It must be quite awkward for you when (if?) you're on the bus and your cell rings
or anywhere in public actually
There are also a couple of tones that I probably will use before the spam song: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 (and of course 6) - remember not all these might be work safe... actually, none of them are...
Got that one too...mactastic said:I used to have the sound clip from Monty Python's Holy Grail where the guy gets shot in the chest by the arrow with the note on it. When I'd get mail I'd hear a shhhhhhThunk "Message for you sir".

If that was mine I'd fall out of my chair every time it goes off.
The introduction of GMail has really opened things up in terms of post categorization. (Either that or greatly confused it.)
Instead of categorizing my posts in to "spam" and "helpful" folders of sorts, I can now apply both labels to my posts. Every single one of my posts is "helpful spam."
That was my "new mail" sound all through college...good times.

I adopted your system warning sound and mail sound if you don't mind.Mitthrawnuruodo said:Then you'll probably like my system warning sound, too
If I injure myself "kvepping to" when they're triggered, I'll blame you. seeing as I have less than 200 posts, and most of them are in the community forum, I'd say my number of helpful posts is probably pretty low.

It is not a bad place to be- more spam than help.....but spamming tends to be a lot more fun.

It's not really the signature, if you quote the post you'll see it's all in the post
What is wrong with a little signature spam?mkrishnan said:
Especially in a thread about how often you spam?
Plus if they quote you, it just makes things worse.

And hey, you know my love for picture signatures. It'll make MR move one step closer to the beauty that is MySpace!
