User:Willscrlt/Userboxes

Example This little tag you are reading is a userbox.

People seem divided concerning the use of userboxes. If you're like me, it's easy to get carried away with them. I think they are a fun and simple way to share a lot about yourself, without forcing people to read long paragraphs about you and your life. And for people who are not long-winded when talking about themselves, it's still a great way to share. However, I chose to move most of my userboxes to this separate page so as to not offend those other types that seem to despise them.

I have created community userboxes for anyone in the Wiki community to use. The ones on this page represent me. The ones on the community page may or may not. I'll even take requests. :-)
