Signature's

Whistling kettle · #1 03-06-2002, 04:43 PM

What do you think of my signature and signature's from others? Why did you make youre signature that way?

My signature was originaly only the sentence: Yellow flub submarine. I made it so that Cool Paramite (we are classmates) would recognice me. Flubs are things that i've made last year, I can't explain WHAT it are but I've made them. And 'yellow'and 'submarine' where just to make a sentence.

Now I've got much more. We learnt about diodes at school. And the rest speaks for itself.

That was an explanation of my signature.

Your sig is too big, by the way. You can have four lines of text with an image, or six without an image.

The EG-R picture in mine is from WipEout Fusion. EG-R and Tigron are my two favourite teams.
'I'm a NICE girl, DAMMIT!' and 'oh no, the Matrix has me!' are just funny.
'Procul, o procul este, profani!' is Latin for 'go away, newbies!'. Or literally, 'far away, o keep far away, uninitiated ones!'. It's aquote from Virgil.
'How my achievements mock me!' is Shakespearian; can't remember off the top of my head which play it's from.

Better? (I changed it)

One, Two, Middlesboogie · #4 03-06-2002, 05:01 PM

No, It's still way over the limit. You have an image (your banner) in your signature, so you are only allowed four lines. A line can be of text, a < hr > rule or a blank line of space. You have 10 lines; lose six of them.

The picture is a reference to my thoughts on the three consoles.

The quotes are something I heard the other day. I found it quite amusing.

I'll probably change it soon.

MudokonOddball · #6 03-06-2002, 09:38 PM

I like your signature. Someday you ought to create a thread explaining a flub. It is longer than the rules allow, though. Let's see how long you can survive before the awful PM of DEATH! (Bum bum buuuuum...)

Okay, enough about you.

My signature is funny...then it turns into an advertisement. I planned on having a new quote every week, but it got a little tiresome-and not too many of them were short enough to fit anyways.

PS I changed my avatar (again) what do you think?

Sl'askia · #7 03-06-2002, 09:52 PM

Before I starting making my own banners my sig consisted of just a link to my site and a quote (usually from DragonHeart...hehe) or saying...wait...even with a banner...its still like that...oh well..

Melvin:squeeking paramite · #8 03-06-2002, 10:13 PM

I think my signature is self-explanatory... I have had the first part since I first joined, I don't think it needs explanation... I am one of the few semi-veteran members who doesn't have a banner. I once said I will never get a banner... I'm not a sell-out... :P

The other part that I have on it now is the address to my ezboard, Random Death Giggles...

At one time my sig talked about TOWFT (The Oddworld Forums Test) because TOWFT was young and new...I took it out for Random Death Giggles... I have not discontinued TOWFT, though...

DarkHoodness · #9 03-06-2002, 10:32 PM

My banner is there to look cool, and display the link to my site in a cool animated way. The rest of my sig is just a few quotes from various sources which I thought sounded cool.

I used to have a seperate animated picture to link to my site, and my Banner used to say "Dark Hood: Ignore me I'm being dumb", and instead of the lines of text I had this really cool marquee, which was small in size, but very very long. I had to merge my animated picture advertising my site with my banner, so it fitted to within the rules. The Marquee I had to remove because it cocked up on some computers.

Oddworld's other biggest fan
I thought this was kind of fun to do, as when I made Justin's banner I put "Oddworld's Biggest Fan". Since then, two others have named themselves third and fourth biggest fans.

Scrab Cakes... mmm mmm... they'll cost ya an arm and a leg! - Abe's Exoddus
I've always had a LED Sign quote in my signature ever since I joined the forums.

"I just want you to listen to me" ~ Quitsis, "Go talk to a wall" ~ Squall (FFVIII)
Comical line from Final Fantasy VIII ... I laughed when I saw it during game play and decided it would be good for my signature. I used to have a quote from Sephiroth (FFVII) who used to be my favorite FF character at the time.

Munch's Oddysee: Power-Ups to the People
Obviously... because it's Oddworld

"Something even more precious than words, Is understood deep in our hearts" ~ Endless Love, Endless Road
This song holds a great meaning to me since yesterday. I wanted to include a line from the song and this was the one I chose as it also holds meaning. I used to have a quote from Melodies of Life (Was it fate that brought us close...), that also held meaning to me as well.

To be Honest I don't read sigs. If I have to go through all of the useless stuff you guys write then all I want to do is look at even more useless signitures. And the funny thing is all of you guys think that your sigs are cleaver and funny. Well you know what. Your the only one that thinks that.
J/K

O.K, to be Honest, I don't read sigs all that much. That's why I like the banner idea. You can get much more across with what's in your banner than what's written.

Teal · #12 03-07-2002, 07:15 AM

You broke your smilie, Wolfpac...

My sig basically does what it says on the tin, and nothing more. I DID have a banner, but it looked weird with the pretty burrrd avatar I have, so I killed it. Thus I have: link to site, and a brief summary of my current philosophy on life.

What was the question?

Whistling kettle · #13 03-07-2002, 05:23 PM

'I did it my way' is a sentence of a very beautiful song, I have a future (I think) so i'll do it my way, not i did it, i will do it.

listen:
EDIT: ****, I can't hear it. Doesn't matter.

EDIT2: I changed my sig! And that's a nice avatar ModukonOddball!

SeaRex · #14 03-07-2002, 06:17 PM

Wolfpac... what's with the shameless AB promotion? I thought you weren't supposed to do that... and from an AB mod, too. For shame. Man, and your kinda bein' a jackass.

My quote is a sort of motto for the Japanese TV series, Serial Experiments Lain. Coming Soon: a Lain banner 'cuz I'm getting tired of this Halo banner! ^_^

Gluk Schmuck · #15 03-07-2002, 06:50 PM

It looks like I changed it!

My old signature, for reference:

Childminder: "I wonder who's at the door... It's your daddy!"
Child: "I want my mummy!"
Childminder's son: *is highly amused*

My new signature is a very subtle reference to WipEout!

My current avatar is the front of the Gorillaz's Geep!
http://communities.msn.com/_Secure/0...MtA/avatar.gif

But it may be changing soon. I have a Worms and a Curly avatar lined up!

Edit: Make that Curly as my current avatar!

Danny · #16 03-07-2002, 07:59 PM

I used to have a banner, but it said "Rettick" on it, and I hated Rettick and wanted him to die, so I killed him...

Now I'm Danny, and I just have anything topical/comical/political that I see somewhere and think is better than my current one. Come to think of it, I haven't changed it in a while, maybe I ought to do that now...

***Xavier*** · #17 03-08-2002, 02:01 PM

Better than "The Daily Deception"=> Oddworld News
some advertising for my actualy site, oddworld news and the daily deception is the news paper on oddworld.

Power Ups to the People! Viva La Lab Rat revolution! Oddworld Needs You!
Some of oddworld slogans

Whistling kettle · #18 03-10-2002, 02:47 PM

I'll change every week my sig. The sentence 'live: solving problems' will be replaced by an latin sentence.
This week: Tolle, lege. It meens take (this) and read.

Un-Amused · #19 03-10-2002, 03:01 PM

Mine is from n e thing vaguely homosexual. The me coming out 2 my mum 1 is the best 1 i have made up i think. These r all on my Jacob name th0

Whistling kettle · #20 03-10-2002, 03:07 PM

Wow! That is a cool sig un-something.

Un-Amused · #21 03-10-2002, 03:17 PM

Whistling kettle · #22 03-17-2002, 08:32 AM

Yes week 12!
Time for a new signature!
'Tolle, lege' will be deleted and in his place comes the latin sentence: Militia est hominum vita. It meens: the live of a human being is a battle.

-Tolle, lege (take (this) and read!)

MunchOnThis · #23 03-17-2002, 08:45 AM

*Munch:"Powers Ups To The People! Oddworld Needs You!"* Mmmm.......You couldn't out why I put that in my sig now could you??? Just kidding.....I put it there because it's Oddworld (duh!) and I love Gabbits and Munch!

"Back In The Days When I Was A Young Buck......."~Coolio-Can 'O' Corn. This is a part from one of fave songs by my fave rapper Coolio from the album "It Takes A Thief" which came out in 1994. Very rare and old album. I gots it!

Oye!
My fave word!!!!

*"Shut your mouth, try not to panic..."*~Garbage.
Another fave song of mine on their 'Beautiful Garbage.'

That explains my sig.....

mitsur · #24 03-17-2002, 11:12 PM

The sligs suck thing, I just HATE SLIGS!!!!!

Cool Paramite · #25 03-18-2002, 12:23 PM

My signature:

:

Once upon a time, in a faraway realm called Microsoft word.....*

CP: "What do I have to do when a cyclone comes towards my house?"
Clippit: "Remove the fill up of a drawing object, sir!"

* = Based on truly happened events!

Well....... How do I explain this? Well, do you know those Word Assistants in Microsoft Word? Some little guy that appears at bottom of the screen, and you can ask him for help (type your question (about Word!) in his text box.) I was being stupid, and typed:

"Wat moet ik doen als er een cycloon op mijn huis afkomt?"

Translation: "What do I have to do when a cyclone comes towards my house?"

The answer of the Word assistant, Clippit (you can choose between a few assistants. I chose Clippit, which is a paperclip) was: "De opvulling van een tekenobject verwijderen."

My bad translation: "Remove the fill up of a drawing object."

So that intelligent conversation became my signature!

I believe your sig is in Japanese, all accept for the "these". Am I right?
