Eddie's Signature
 
The Marquee: Yes or No.

DarkHoodness 02-10-2002 08:33 PM

Okay, fair poll.
Some people say my marquee blurrs for some strange reason. However, to me and a few other people it looks normal and doesn't blur. Since the marquee was a bit too big when i first put it up, I shrunk it's text size and made it smaller so it wouldn't stand out so much. I think it looks fine. Danny on the other hand still thinks it's an eyesore. What do you think?
Some factors you should remember:
1. It's small
2. People don't have to read it if they don't want to. I did put a warning at the beggining.
3. It's my signature.
4. People on the Esper Online forums didn't say anything.
5. I'll bet you lot will be complaining about my Dark hood's Shack animation next.
6. Why can't a guy have a bit of decoration on his signature anyway?
7. "It's an eye-sore" is not a big enough reason for me to take it off. People here are encouraged to say WHY my marquee is an eye-sore.

Dan, you faschist monkey!
 
Trying to take away Edd's sig, eh? I voted "no", for several reasons...
1: An eyesore? What do you mean an eyesore? Just don't look at it, you aren't being forced....
2: Its Edd's sig. I don't think he should be forced to get rid of it.
3: It isn't screwing any thing up on my PC... I'm not sure if it is on yours, but I don't see any problem there.
4: No problems at all! I mean, it may start hypnotizing you and getting hard to read if you're trying to read the whole thing, but that's hardly a complaint.

1. It blurs until it forms an unreadable yet still wriggling white blur horizontally across the screen.
2. We do have to look at it, because some people might want to read, or at least scroll past, your posts...
3. It may be small, but it is so very long...
4. Esper Online Forums are on UBB. We are on VB. There may be a difference. Besides, why should we trust the word of someone we've never even spoken to over our own eyes?
5. The Dark Hood Shack animation is small and dark and unnoticeable. The Marquee is long and white and stands out.
6. You can. You have.
7. See above.

Danny 02-10-2002 08:59 PM

THIS is what it looks like. And as I have already said, I do have to look at it if I want to read any of Eddie's posts...

PinkHaired Mudokon CWR 02-10-2002 09:06 PM

It's hurting my eyes! I might need glasses in order to read that. It's all scribbly.

Sl'askia 02-10-2002 09:08 PM

ANNOYING!
 
1. I find it annoying and distracting.
2. as Dan said...we DO have to look at it...when we scroll past your posts.
3. Why put something that long up in a format like that anyway? No one is going to read it other then those that have no life *looks at FuzzyFuzzle*
4. A short one liner I can see in a format like that...as you don't have to wait AGES to read it all (if you had no life and 'wanted' to read it...)
5. Regarding your 'Dark Hood's Shack' pic....Isn't it against the rules to have two pics in your sig anyway?
6. You have done so in the pass in a less annoying manner...

DarkHoodness 02-10-2002 09:12 PM

Okay, i see what you mean about it being blurry, Dan. Something is seriously wrogn here. Anyway, I've uploaded my screenshot in a Zip file. Check it out. . .

Melvin:squeeking paramite 02-10-2002 09:13 PM

Agh, Dan's screenshot is disturbing... it doesn't do that on mine, though... eck, maybe you should take it off, DH.

Although, about people saying you have to look at it... just read DH's post, you don't have to sit there staring at it...

Hey, I read it, Drag! hmph...

cullzoid 02-10-2002 09:20 PM

*angry*
 
I don't have a problem with it and I'm backing Dark Hood 100%

No, but it's distracting.

Gluk Schmuck 02-10-2002 10:15 PM

Isn't it against the rules to have two images?
Yes, it is. Get rid of the second one, it's animated.

It draws the attention towards it.

The first picture is much better than the animated one.

DarkHoodness 02-10-2002 10:42 PM

FINE!
 
FINE! I'VE CHANGED IT! YOU ALL HAPPY NOW? All I wanted to do was have a nice sig that looked really cool and stuff! And then you unapreciating freaks come along and yell at me for having it. I spent ages making that sig, getting help from other people as well.
Makes me wonder why i botherd in the first place.
Oh well, at least you lot can't make me change my sig on EzBoard and EO.

Dark_Whitty_666 02-10-2002 10:44 PM

I never saw much wrong with that thing going across the bottom of dark hoods sig. it looked kinda intresting, shame it was a bit long and wasnt making real sence.

So does it mean that nobody can use that thing then???
i dont think its fair that dark hood has got so much grief over it and has had to change it.

Gluk Schmuck 02-10-2002 10:47 PM

Thank you
 
Thank you, Eddie.

Thank you for changing it, but there is no need to be mad about it. You've seen what it did to my screen, would you want to be the cause of that?

FuzzyFuzzle 02-11-2002 05:49 PM

That was cold drag. The only reason I read it was because I was procrastinating against doing my science fair project (Which is done! WOOT!). And know I'm one of the selected few who actually read it to the fullest :P Nyah Nyah Nyah Nyah Nyah! And I personally didn't mind it DH.

DarkHoodness 02-11-2002 07:26 PM

Sorry about that, Dan. I was kinda of mad because Tom told me to take off the Dark Hood's Shack button because it was "too annimated". Okay, it was breaking the rules too, but he didn't have to nag me on MSN. As for the marquee, I was gonna take it off after I saw that image from yours. I didn't want to, but I really had no choice (and I suppose other people found it a bit annoying).
I will now re-vamp my sig. I have an idea for it that might not break the rules (if my idea is too large in file size, I won't bother), and shouldn't mess up on anyones computer. Also, my sig writing will be dominated by a hillarious quote from Mactus. :)
*gets to work*

DarkHoodness 02-11-2002 10:02 PM

Whoo-hoo! New sig, new quote, no broken rules! :)

cullzoid 02-11-2002 10:12 PM

Oh well.....
 
At least your not threatening anyone with a scythe as i would be..

:lol: Cullz..

PinkHaired Mudokon CWR 02-12-2002 09:03 PM

I did'nt know that was a rule...

ODDBODD 02-13-2002 08:44 AM

it is distracting especially when you try to read DH's post..its all unfunkay.

MunchOnThis 02-15-2002 06:44 PM

it's an eyesore,that's what i voted for u see......

DarkHoodness 02-15-2002 08:32 PM

For those who are new here or didn't see my new sig before I changed it:
I used to have a scrolley marquee and an animated button for my site. Unfortunately, it messed up on some computers, and I was forced to take it off. As for the button, it was against the rules to have two images, so I was forced to take that off two. Now I've modified my sig and put the button inside my banner picture. Since my new sig is now witihin the rules, the outcome of this vote now will have no effect, since it was for my previous sig. At least it's better then some peoples sigs out there.
