Its Go-Go. In wackyland. All the world is mad, bitches!

EDIT: wow the one in the top left has some horrible transparencies... TO PHOTOSHOP!

Pip Boy 12-06-2009 09:12 AM

Mine means you can't kill the metal.

The metal will live on.

TopHatAssassin 12-06-2009 02:28 PM

Mine is some Space Marine dude from a Warhammer 40k comic I picked up once from the library. It's not so much his face as what he says that really made it for me. I just thought he looked cool, really. I've got one where he looks even uglier, and I've been meaning to change it for awhile, soooo... maybe that one next?

I suppose if we're going to go into meanings, mine is... "Don't be a pussy. Or your ass will get stomped."

Amake 12-06-2009 03:08 PM

I'm glad you asked. It's a combination of the all-seeing eye of God and Yin and Yang, in flames. I thought it'd be cool, and it turned out even cooler than I thought.
Full size.

BitVyper 12-06-2009 03:41 PM

But can it see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

Amake 12-06-2009 03:50 PM

Hells no. The all-seeing eye of Buddha has no time for advertisements. :p

BitVyper 12-06-2009 04:39 PM

Why? What's the Buddha so busy with that he doesn't have time for a lucrative advertising contract?

Amake 12-06-2009 05:36 PM

Breathing is more important than doing anything lucrative, especially advertising. Are you familiar with Buddhism like, at all? >_>

BitVyper 12-06-2009 05:44 PM

Is the Buddha?

01d55 12-06-2009 06:01 PM

Fifth made it
 
It's a Synkripoffvatar, so I gotta use the drop down menu twice to format everything I type, which is a real pain when you're splitting up a quote. Also, I can't use quick reply because one of the buttons you don't get when quick replying is the font button. Took me a while to get used to it, I'd have to go edit most of my new posts right after I made 'em.

Amake 12-06-2009 06:21 PM

If it was me I'd keep the code around on a notepad or something and paste it in when needed. ^_^

And no, I doubt Buddha or any committed Buddhists are involved in that site. :I

Edit to avoid overposting: Now I want a shirt that says "This shirt is a lie".

BitVyper 12-06-2009 06:52 PM

Shirts don't lie, IQ. Shirts don't lie.

Mr. Viewtiful 12-06-2009 08:01 PM

Kung Fu Panda, because there is no charge for awesomeness or attractiveness.

Donomni 12-07-2009 02:50 PM

One would hope the fuck not, considering it blinds people.

Quick Reply is terrible. Also, taking the time to properly format your post, even when quoting causes you to break it up, shows that you are willing to take posting semi-seriously. Even when you aren't.

Also it may become a habit that you just can't stop. I am being serious. I suggested, for Halloween, that we moderators "dress up" as each other for the day. Fifth and I discussed the likelihood that I'd still red-text and set Tahoma on all of my posts and have to edit them after posting.

That's not really any quicker, to be honest. And now that it is a deeply-ingrained part of how I post, time is no issue.




And, uh, I guess my avatar means I like her and that I was watching/reading a lot of Bleach when I hunted for a good image. Then I can insert here the idea that she's a person of much authority who is scarcely seen but still very influential, like me! Also I am a super-fast ninja who can turn into a cat.

I'm actually impressed with the dedication you've put into it at this point you should totally holler at Fenris to green up your name.

Viridis 12-07-2009 06:09 PM

Know what would be interesting? A Greasemonkey script that adds a personalized button for your custom post format to the post menu, just like there's bold and italics buttons.

That being said, I have no idea how to do that.

Mike McC 12-07-2009 06:16 PM

There are always things like extentions and plugins to make things easier.

Kim 12-07-2009 06:17 PM

And it's just plain fun.
 
Re Synkripoffvatars: I've actually been thinking I might just switch up my avatar now so that I'm less of a Synk/Numsie ripoff, but stick with a blue theme in the avatar, and keep my text formatting. I don't know what, but something about needing to do those two little clicks is kinda nice, and I do like that my posts stand out a little more now.

Fifthfiend 12-07-2009 06:24 PM

My new avatar is a message to Nonsie. <3

Kim 12-07-2009 06:26 PM

And the Alladin reaction image I have now is better than either.

Quite the opposite really.

Well, that's hardly an incentive for me to stop.

Viridis 12-07-2009 06:37 PM

I don't think I'd go through with it because of the eye-bleeding saturation of yellow it'd cause, but could someone find a way to put boxes around my text? It'd probably be a custom <div> thing, though.

synkr0nized 12-07-2009 06:53 PM

At least terrible formatting things, if nothing else.

If you mean the text box effect like your user title, yes. You would either need a div or other block element that can have its own background to be inserted into the HTML for your posts. I don't think a span tag would be enough.

And if the forum were to give users access to divs in posts, all kinds of terrible things could happen.

01d55 12-07-2009 07:04 PM

Ah heh.

Ha. Ha. Ha.

Amake 12-07-2009 07:25 PM

Since we're now on general posting approaches rather than avatars, how does this look? I wanna post in color like the cool kids.

While also taking it to the next level in the style of Frank McConnel's epic Sandman introduction, of course.

Mike McC 12-07-2009 07:32 PM

You know, I might as well pick a background color for myself as well. Seems to be all the rage nowadays. I mean, everyone's getting into it, so I might as well join the party, am I right? Besides, it's not as if it's difficult to do, just do a color and a six digit number and BAM, I am golden.

How's this look to everyone? I think it's rather fetching myself.

What?

Is there a problem with it?

I can read it perfectly fine with my monitor...

Fifthfiend 12-07-2009 07:44 PM

All of mike's posts should be like that one.

I thought about invisible text myself at first, but I figured it was too impractical even for the Invisible Queen. I implore you to reconsider. ^_^

That's right, I now have two different levels of emphasis. Suck on that, italics.

Re. the below, ages ago when I wanted to find out the background color on the board all I did was take a screenshot and employ the eyedropper tool in photoshop.

The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk 12-07-2009 07:46 PM

It scares me how long he must've spent trying to so perfectly match the background colour. It's almost obsessively overworked, but all the more awesome for it.

Kim 12-07-2009 07:47 PM

Only one way to tell!

I'm pretty sure it's #111111, but don't quote me on that. I mean, I just don't want you to get the impression that Mickey C actually works hard on stuff. Let's try it out!

Lost in Time 12-07-2009 07:49 PM

It's 111111, not that hard?

Oh, did I leak the secret?

NonCon ninja'd me. So the weight of letting the secret out is lifted. Yay, NonCon!

Mike McC 12-07-2009 08:14 PM

It's not perfectly matched guys. Like I said, I can actually read that (#131313) on the background (#111111) on my monitor. It looks bold (even though it's not) and slightly blurry.

Kim 12-07-2009 08:17 PM

Anyone posting here is lazy, in all honesty.

I can see it. Looks like you lightened it up a bit from what it was originally though. He was just under the impression that it was perfectly matched, and thought that must've taken a lot of work. I was just letting him know that, no, background color is pretty much common knowledge at this point. And that you're lazy.

Nope. Same color. It probably helps you see it better now you know what is there and where to look.

phil_ 12-07-2009 09:01 PM

I throw invisible text into my posts all the time with 111111. I also use the title tag. I appreciate the variety of ways we can add snarky comments to posts on this forum.

My avatar has been a message to you since I changed it.

Revising Ocelot 12-07-2009 10:21 PM

I think we are sorely lacking a Comic Sans MS Magenta poster to inspire fear and anxiety among the masses. I am merely demonstrating the terror that it would invoke; I'm not sure if I could do this for all my posts. But I barely post anyway, as I am the Uber-Lurk. *shrug*



But I do feel pretty!
