Sig Thread

[EVILNess]

Let's talk about other's post signatures!

Make a comment about someone's current signature, if you can't think of someone then pick the person above you.

Maybe it was a link to something cool?:cool: Maybe it made you laugh?:D Maybe it was a quote of Blues being an insufferable ass?:ohdear: Who knows! :raise:

The first signature that comes to my mind belongs to Krylo, who has had a link to a slightly disturbing magical girl story forever. However, after I read that I found the same author wrote a story called Unreal Estate that was just amusing enough to make me read the whole thing through. Slightly absurd though, in a fun Mary Sue kind of way.

[Kim]

Your sig is from an English class in another country, I don't know what it's supposed to mean, and then it links to a flying panty song...

Exactly what am I supposed to say? This is surreal and terrifying and beautiful.

[Doc ock rokc]

Your sig is shameless self promotion and nationalism.

[CelesJessa]

Noncon's is a link to his website which is pretty cool and impressive on how much it's grown, and had me draw for them once upon a time, which was pretty cool.

EDIT: Ninja'd!

Ock's is pretty nifty. I like the uses of grays and the running out of ink made me laugh.

[Viridis]

I.... I don't know? Something about Metal Gear and Homestuck?

[Shyria Dracnoir]

All I can to Viridis' sig is "Word, dawg."

[Thadius]

All I can think of when I look at Shyria's sig is those commercials for Discovery channel.

[Jagos]

I just realized, I never played Baldur's Gate until Thadius brought it up...

[Osterbaum]

Jagos' sig is "the" Remix Manifesto. While I am not all that familiar with it, I am somewhat familiar with similar things, or things that deal with similar subjects. Such as copyleft, hacker ethic etc.

[Magic_Marker]

Osterbaum's sig knows what's up.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Marker you are a disgrace to all sig makers.

[russianreversal]

On the other hand, Hawk, I've seen more of your sig than I have your posts.

Now I'd say I like synk's sig (and I totally do!), but I remember somebody lambasting everyone (http://nuklearforums.com/showpost.php?p=943521&postcount=88) for not being good at sig art in the original sigimg thread. Not all of us went to design school, you know. (although I did, so there's really no excuse on my part except laziness)

[synkr0nized]

It's too bad that those images aren't still up. I bet they deserved it.


ALSO I used to change mine [though not here as we didn't allow them for quite a long time] fairly regularly. I even had a set of ~8-10 that I used with a random script for a little while, at least on boards that allowed it. Then I made the one I am using and continue to like it too much. I also lost the .psd source file somehow.


I should probably make a new one, but I don't know if I'll like it as much. Hmmm...




OK way too much about myself in this post.

I'm fond of minimal sigs, at least in the sense that a lot of quote blocks seems messy to me (as I realize mine has grown more than it probably should have).

IQ's invisible sig is clever.
I pretty much dig the blue color and small text in Blue's; I believe he changes the content enough though that I've no opinion of that one way or the other. The small font size and simple links to his other places are things I personally like in sigs.
Part of me really likes seeing Krylo's posts thanks to the great choice of Vriska image currently, and then part of me is a little upset of the "u mad?".
NonCon's GPD image is simple. No shameless cajoling to visit, no ill-conceived tagline -- just a clean and sharp logo. I like that.
I miss Bob's crazy rainbow sparkle whatever the fuck thing. So ridiculous.
phil_'s is also nice and tidy and classy.
Whomper's, being red, is of course high on the list. Oh, my, does that happen to be me in that sig? Ah, that's just coincidence, I am sure.

I'll admit that if you have a lot of quote blocks or have enough text to put it behind a swap tag I don't read it.

[russianreversal]

It's too bad that those images aren't still up. I bet they deserved it. Oh they totally did.

IQ's invisible sig is clever. Yeah, I thought I could see it.

I was wrong. :(

[Amake]

It would have been even more clever if signatures allowed  . But just now I went and replaced wit with labor anyway.

So yeah.

[russianreversal]

I was looking for the right thing to blend into the background of the forum.

It took a while but I got it.

[rpgdemon]

I like Russian Reversal's, except that it's got a tiny bit of artification in the upper left corner of the blended image, which makes it look sort of messy.

[Fifthfiend]

Fifthfiend's sig is a 1980s businesswoman in huge shoulder pads bicycle-kicking during sex because she missed her spinning class.

[Osterbaum]

Why though.

[Tev]

Oster's signature really doesn't truly encompass what it means to be Blues.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

I like how Tev has encorporated his sig into both his user title AND his avatar. Classy.

Does Funka ever actully refer to you as Tevasaur though?

[Tev]

He doesn't post enough, referencing to me, for me to know.

[rpgdemon]

Tev's signature has the quote of a bannanated person in it.

[A Zarkin' Frood]

I tend to ignore sigs. Which is why mine is shameless self advertising most of the time. Not now, though.

But I guess I like CJs, because she's found the perfect Homestuck poses for a MGS reference.

[Lost in Time]

I can't say that I ever really noticed the second half of IG's sig until just now.

[Aldurin]

I wish sig character limit's were bigger, and that file size and formats allowed for sig images was at least the same as with avatars.

Lost in Time's sig needs to be his tag.

[Ravashak]

I disagree with you, Aldurin, I like that the sigs sizes here are kept in moderation. Your sig fits that quite well xP

[russianreversal]

Not sig size, file size. Currently you can have a max avatar size of 100kb, but a max sigimg size of only 19.5, despite that the max dimensions of your sigimg can be larger than your avatar.

I kind of agree with Aldurin here on account of the fact that far less people that make accounts have sigimgs than avatars (or even profile pictures, I mean what?), but I can see that making that larger is just baiting people to try and get around/bitch about the no (animated) gifs rule.

And goddammit I can see the other flaws with my sig on this much better lit screen. Ah well, I'll fix it tomorrow.

EDIT: In regards to Ravashak's sig, Google translate was not much help, as I get the feeling this is supposed to flow a certain way in Finnish.

[Mr.Bookworm]

Marker you are a disgrace to all sig makers.

http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/yy314/peppercherry/layton%20stuff/haters-gonna-hate-gif-half-.gif

[Magus]

It seems like this topic encouraged everybody to change their sigs because I am seeing some totally new stuff now. Or this is all pretty coincidental.

[russianreversal]

It's ok, I'm a big enough man to chalk all of this up to sheer chance.

[Bells]

Russian Reversal has a sig that makes me feel like my Monitor just went Kaput!

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Bells sig is a link to a store stocked with trendy clothes... That you can wear!

[rpgdemon]

It seems like this topic encouraged everybody to change their sigs because I am seeing some totally new stuff now. Or this is all pretty coincidental.

I changed mine BEFORE now.

[Doc ock rokc]

It seems like this topic encouraged everybody to change their sigs because I am seeing some totally new stuff now. Or this is all pretty coincidental.

Your sig is making my Skype act up.

[Jagos]

Fifthfiend's sig is a 1980s businesswoman in huge shoulder pads bicycle-kicking during sex because she missed her spinning class.

... You're shitting me.

I thought the big hair and lips meant that was a gay man.

In a comic. O_o

[EVILNess]

I was equally unsure of the nature of the person in Fifth's sig. Jagos, your sig doesn't make much sense to me as a manifesto either.

[Sithdarth]

I simply ignore all signatures in general. Does that make me a bad person?

[Kyanbu The Legend]

I seriously thought that was a dude in Fifth sig. XD

[Aldurin]

I seriously thought that was a dude in Fifth sig. XD

^

[Kim]

Clearly none of you read enough Hark, A Vagrant. You all better get on that shit.

[Hatake Kakashi]

Two dudes in Fifth's sig?

.....

Nope. I don't see it. I saw pretty much the exact thing he described.

Bicycle kicking during sex... goddamn it, now I'm wondering all sorts of weird shit on the mechanics of that. How easy it is to maintain position, does it affect tightness, etc...

Fuck!

[Kyanbu The Legend]

The face and art style is what through some of us off to be honest. Least it seems that way.

[russianreversal]

Congratulations, Fifth, you've indirectly ruined my day through Kakashi. Thanks.

[Nikose Tyris]

Two dudes in Fifth's sig?

.....

Nope. I don't see it. I saw pretty much the exact thing he described.

Bicycle kicking during sex... goddamn it, now I'm wondering all sorts of weird shit on the mechanics of that. How easy it is to maintain position, does it affect tightness, etc...

Fuck!

After some experimenting- not worth it.

[Fifthfiend]

She has the body of a weak and feeble woman

but the heart and stomach OF A KING (http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=300)

[Hatake Kakashi]

After some experimenting- not worth it.

With what, bicycle kicking, or two dudes?:dance:

[Magus]

Man, how is my sig messing up somebody's Skype, that's pretty crazy. It's just text!

I have read the comic Hark, A Vagrant so I knew that was from that, I haven't read that particular one, though. But still figured it was a chick, just a manly one, which I believe was the point. She's a high-flying businesswoman or something, out to make it in a man's world. There are LAYERS

[Pip Boy]

Hey, that number appears to be wrong. I tried calling it and some stupid elder god answered the phone and starting babbling nonsense in the Black Tongue.

[rpgdemon]

Pip Boy's signature reassures me that everything is okay.

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Oh pip... poor pip... You might not make it through the night after hearing such words.

On topic: Pip your advice shall do me and the world justice in the winter months.

[rpgdemon]

In other news, Pip changed his signature from what it was before.

[Nikose Tyris]

With what, bicycle kicking, or two dudes?:dance:

I said experimenting. Just one experiment could never cut it!

[Kyanbu The Legend]

You must share with us the fruits of your experiments, Nikose.

[Nikose Tyris]

You must share with us the fruits of your experiments, Nikose.

I have areas that are sore from motions that are not supposed to be made during relations.

/results.

[Kyanbu The Legend]

SO mans legs really aren't meant to bend that way then. Now we know.

[Hatake Kakashi]

You must share with us the fruits of your experiments, Nikose.

Careful, he might include you in the fruits of his next experiments. :D

[Jagos]

I was equally unsure of the nature of the person in Fifth's sig. Jagos, your sig doesn't make much sense to me as a manifesto either.

One link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RiP!:_A_Remix_Manifesto)

These are mainly the words of Lawrence Lessig:

Link (http://www.oreillynet.com/policy/2002/08/15/lessig.html)

Since I'm big on copyright law, I figure those two sources can help explain how the past wants to control the future with inane law.

[Solid Snake]

I know have the greatest sig ever.

That is all!

[Osterbaum]

Oh my dog, friggin' ponies again.

[Jagos]

By the dogs, Snake, the GRAMMAR!

GRRR!

Hatake Kakashi's sig has me tilting my head...

[russianreversal]

I find a new favorite song far more often than a week, but I'm not on often enough to qualify a "Song of the Day" signature.

Compromise. Also, Gorillaz.

EDIT: Also, thanks to phil_ with the sigimg. For some reason photoshop interpreted "#111111" as "fuck you".

[Hatake Kakashi]

Hatake Kakashi's sig has me tilting my head...

Which part?

[Solid Snake]

Oh my dog, friggin' ponies again.

ALL OF LIFE IS PONIES

...Please excuse me, but all my <3 are belong to Pinkie Pie.

(Also the sig does not display grammar because it is, in fact, a series of links. A series of links you must click on and watch immediately.)

[A Zarkin' Frood]

The sig starts with "You are so random" and then proceeds to bombarding the reader with a random series of words which also link to videos I will not watch because I'm listening to music already and I just don't interrupt that. Genius. I would suggest hyphens, but that would defeat the purpose.

But please don't act hilariously offended for not following the links. I'm not sure I could take that.

[Jagos]

Which part?

I actually read that before I read it was Avatar.

Then I remembered... Shyamalan...

Now it makes sense.

[Solid Snake]

The sig starts with "You are so random" and then proceeds to bombarding the reader with a random series of words which also link to videos I will not watch because I'm listening to music already and I just don't interrupt that. Genius.

=)

But please don't act hilariously offended for not following the links. I'm not sure I could take that.

...I see my reputation precedes me. =/

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Snake, your sig shows strong love for pinkie pie. It creeped me out bit, my good sir.

[Solid Snake]

Snake, your sig shows strong love for pinkie pie. It creeped me out bit, my good sir.

Would you feel just as creeped out if my sig was full of links to Solid Snake stuff? :P

...Yeah, I get the whole "he's really into girly stuff, that's weird" kind of thing, but I've come to the conclusion that dorking out over MLP really isn't any different than dorking out over any other subject I've ever dorked out on. I went through a Chrono Trigger phase where I loved all things Magus, a Metal Gear Solid phase where I loved all things Solid Snake, and more recently, a Homestuck phase where I loved all things Kanaya Maryam. How is a Pinkie Phase any different?

[Seil]

When I get home I'll see if I can't track down that quote from Fifth about his Rainbow Brite loving.

[Magus]

I went through a Chrono Trigger phase where I loved all things Magus

You...you don't love me anymore?!

:ohdear:

I...I...

:crying:

CURSE YOU PINKIE PIE

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Would you feel just as creeped out if my sig was full of links to Solid Snake stuff? :P

How is a Pinkie Phase any different?

Pretty much yeah. though you know I mean you no harm.

[rpgdemon]

Why Magus? He's lame. Crono or Robo = Where it's at. Frog is cool too. As is Marle. Less so Lucca. Magus isn't even on this chart.

[CelesJessa]

...Yeah, I get the whole "he's really into girly stuff, that's weird" kind of thing,

I honestly don't understand why this is any different from when you were into MGS.

But Snake your sig makes me want to venture into my basement and find my loads of My Little Pony toys from when I was little.

[Krylo]

Would you feel just as creeped out if my sig was full of links to Solid Snake stuff? :P
Yes. Obsession is always creepy.
Why Magus? He's lame.

[rpgdemon]

By the way, Snake: Your signature has now made me appreciate the ponies more.

[Solid Snake]

By the way, Snake: Your signature has now made me appreciate the ponies more.

It's now worth all the criticism, just for that.

But nah y'alls I like MLP and Pinkie Pie a lot but I'm really not quite as obsessed over it as you seem to think I am? Half the fun in writing my crazy responses now in just playing the role of fanboy and ticking those of you off who "hate teh ponies", and really, it's moreso that I appreciate a well-written show with charming characters and an optimistic escapist kind of theme that plays awfully well when you're exhausted from excessive law school reading and all you want to do is find something to watch that isn't dark or complicated and that will make you smile.

EDIT: Also given the frequency with which I watch those Pinkie Pie links it's nice to have them all in one place. =)

EDIT 2: Also Pinkie Pie is adorable, seriously y'all.

[Jagos]

...

Somehow, I believe Snake would have a lot of explaining to do if a girl saw his room...

[Kyanbu The Legend]

IF she knew him enough, there wouldn't be much to explain. It'd be normal visit.

[Krylo]

...

Somehow, I believe Snake would have a lot of explaining to do if a girl saw his room...

I don't think that'll be an issue.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Yeah, but Rainbow Dash is still more awesome. >.>

Yeah, I watched a few episodes in the end, I'm not scared. I recovered my Man Card by watching a shit ton of action movies right after, so it's all cool.

[Nikose Tyris]

When I get home I'll see if I can't track down that quote from Fifth about his Rainbow Brite loving.

I honestly fucking weep for Rainbow Brite. The latest 'incarnation' is horrifying. She's gone from Children's Icon to a glorified flash animation.


Rainbow Brite was the lone thing in my childhood that wasn't 'boyish' growing up, much to my parents dismay. [They stopped the MLP stuff back then, cause that stuff was 'too weird' for them.]

[Solid Snake]

I don't think that'll be an issue.

...

...sometimes I am just left to wonder, what have I done to deserve this snarky vitrol? Why does everyone despise me to find such joy in my suffering?

Also my future wife totally will not mind the Kanaya plushie, Pinkie Pie beads stuff made by Bobbey, Pinkie Pie stuffed toy and...

...yeah, I am doomed. =/


EDIT: you see, this is why I need easy access to Pinkie Pie in my sig. She's the only one who can cheer me up when you all bring me down. =/

[akaSM]

Change Snake's color name to something more suitable

[Osterbaum]

Ok, I watched the entirety of the first link in Snake's sig and... What the frigg did I just see?

[Aldurin]

Ok, I watched the entirety of the first link in Snake's sig and... What the frigg did I just see?

This is a common reaction to patients during their first exposure, remain calm and continue to view the test item on a regular basis.

[Osterbaum]

First exposure and I have to admidt that I feel sort of compelled to watch more...

[Kyanbu The Legend]

It's like drugs, after the first hit your hooked. But you won't get me! /jk

[Osterbaum]

I'm not so much hooked as I'm going to just try it again, the full experience, just to see if I get any kicks out of it.

[Flarecobra]

http://sadpanda.us/images/409601-8JOY31B.jpg


But yeah, it's nice for when you're actually feeling blah.

[Solid Snake]

Yeah I love how everybody's like "My Little Pony what are you talking about you freakin' loser? Stop watching shows for little girls!"

...And then they watch an episode.

...And they're like "...Heh. So this isn't terrible. I still don't get it, though."

...And then they watch another few episodes, including possibly Dragonshy.

...And then they're like "Hey, I actually like this show! That's kind of weird."

...And then they watch a few more episodes.

...And then they're like " IS THE BEST PONY EVER LET'S TALK ABOUT PONIES GUYS!!"

I would know, because it happened to me.
Once I too was like all of you, listening to NonCon and Mirai and a few others rant and rave about how awesome a My Little Pony show was, shaking my head in disgust, feeling as if they must have gone clinically insane.

And then I watched.
And now Pinkie Pie is the [I]bestest pony.

[rpgdemon]

That's not how -I- went.

I went from, "Man, Snake's avatar makes me really want to watch this show", to, "Meh, half an episode in, about average.", to, "Huh, okay, click these links again in Snake's signature since I still want to like it for the avatar", to, "Okay, that was decent enough to warrant finishing Dragonshy", to, "Okay, sure, I can dig it."

[Krylo]

...

...sometimes I am just left to wonder, what have I done to deserve this snarky vitrol? Why does everyone despise me to find such joy in my suffering?

<3

[Osterbaum]

...And then they're like "Hey, I actually like this show! That's kind of weird."

...And then they watch a few more episodes.

...And then they're like "[Insert Favorite Pony Here] IS THE BEST PONY EVER LET'S TALK ABOUT PONIES GUYS!!"
Let's not get ahead of ourselves, I'm not quite there yet.

[phil_]

How I went:

Mike: Hey Phil, let's watch My Little Pony.
Phil: Ok.

And then I liked My Little Pony.

Go signatures!

[Osterbaum]

Yeah, I'm there now but I made another thread so this one can get back to sigs.

[rpgdemon]

Let's discuss my signature. It's pretty sweet.

[Aldurin]

I just look at RPG's sig and I'm like "bluh ugly picture, the words are probably worse."

[rpgdemon]

Dude, MSPaint airbrush is where the spiff is at.

Sad thing is, with the changes to MSPaint in Windows 7, it actually took me a few minutes to find the airbrush, to make the crappy image.

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Rpgdemon, your sig has failed to live up to the hype.

The ruz are not kool.

/jk

[rpgdemon]

Dude, Ruz are the Koolest things ever.

I'm not really sure if that's the proper pluralization.

[Sithdarth]

Interestingly rpgdemon's signature solicits criticism and which is then thoroughly rebuffed. I believe this is the sign of a true artist. At the very least it's nice to see one that doesn't collapse into a semi-solid quivering mass when someone doesn't immediately like their work.

[synkr0nized]

What designs? The shitty black text on green on green or the MS Paint signature "image"?

Oh no wait having javascript off hid your menu. That's not really the best site layout choice but hey at least I can see the images now. Nice work on all the watermarks on your clip art.

[rpgdemon]

WAAAAAAAH.

Actually, I don't really see why people don't like being criticized. I dunno if it's just that I'm weird, or what, but I'm not really phased by it, and actually rather enjoy having any sort of feedback on anything, especially negative. It helps when the things being feedback'd are things that I've been doing just because the idea amuses me more than I care about the actual outcome, I suppose.

In any case, I have a totally (il)legitimate reason for all of the problems with the site. You see, I am entirely a lazy bitch. I had nothing with which to test php on my laptop, and thus said screw it, javascript shall be used to make things updatable cross page more easily instead. And I'm pretty sure the lime green is there because when I was getting the divs set up, I was using pretty much random key mashings for background colors, so that I could see them, and again am a lazy bitch and didn't bother getting rid of it, because, "HEY THERE'S REALLY NO REASON THIS SHOULD BE A PROBLEM".


WAY TOO MUCH JUSTIFICATION AHOY. In all seriousness though, feel free to criticize anything and everything that I say/do, in general, if you've got legitimate reason behind it. Heck, if you've got legitimate reason behind it, I'll probably end up agreeing with you in the end. :P

[Seil]

Mine's better.

:P

[Fifthfiend]

I honestly don't understand why this is any different from when you were into MGS.

who says he has to stop (http://technabob.com/blog/2010/08/23/my-little-solid-snake-pony/)

[rpgdemon]

Mine's better.

:P

Agreed.

It's... Sheet music, covered in blood/circles?

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

My sig is now 20% cooler.

[Seil]

It's... Sheet music, covered in blood/circles?

Probably. (http://www.gamezone.com/images/gamezone/28/6/36/s28636_psp_2.jpg)

[A Zarkin' Frood]

Rip on my shitty image mother fuckers!

Seriously, every bizarre choice has kind of a meaning*. Well most of them. But I'm not gonna provide the context to make it seem like I'm just bullshitting.

*Except the jpeg artifacts. That's just the forums converting my gif into a jpg.

[rpgdemon]

IG knows where it's at with the crappy images. IG knows where it is at.

*Brofist*.

[A Zarkin' Frood]

Sorry, but I changed it again. I'll tell you something, though. That crappy image was one of many versions and it was the crappiest.

[Amake]

I see a field of dark grey, lit up by words in bright colors. Post after post, and after every one of them the quote, the one quote that sums up all the absurdities of war, the condition in which man gives in himself permission to do the worst he can to his brother, the calculating commercial psychopathy that wants to give a clean, marketable image to this, this pure inhumanity, the bitter irony, the absurdity of it. This is my dream. This is my nightmare. To see this quote crawling, spreading like rot all over the world until the corporate war profiteering machine can't stand the weight of its own lies anymore.
