Memnoch 08-15-2001 09:34 AM

I'm in an inquisitive mood today. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif So why did you choose the sig/saying/phrase you did?

For me, I chose the genie because it was the first thing that I pulled out of BG2 using Infinity Explorer and I thought it looked really cool. So I've stuck with it (except for a couple of weeks when this new forum started up when I used a demon but that was pretty sh!te so I canned it). Then I decided to remake my callsign in a cooler font when I saw Sazerac's rainbow sig.

Your turn...

I dunno... as long as it clicks with me, if I like it, I know of it, and I understand it, it is ok! And I cannot see this I know... dang it!!!

Fljotsdale 08-15-2001 09:39 AM

Well, I liked the 'cloudy's Fav' smilie, and the saying just sort of 'came to me' 'cos because I had been talking to someone who was a habitual complainer!

I don't suppose you could fix the smilie in my sig could you, Memnoch - or anyone! - 'cos I'm pretty stupid about things like that!?

That rat of a sig´s still not working. It´s supposed to show a pic of Calvin from "Calvin and Hobbes" where he pulls a real cool face. I chose it because I´m a big fan. My old sig (UCANTZEECALIFORNIAWITHOUTMARLONBRANDOSEYEZ!) is from "Eyeless", a song of Slipknot I like very much. Yeah, I know it´s noise.

Moridin 08-15-2001 09:44 AM

Really don't know about the pic? Came across it on the web and it just hit me as pretty cool so I decided to put it in my sig and there it has remained.

My saying changes from time to time, the current one is there to remind all those 'potential' music teachers about the dangers of teaching farm animals....the second is from the Beatle's song....and I really do have to admit that it is getting better, getting better all the time http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

In fact, it was Redblueflare who gave me the idea. In his sig, there´s: "Everyone is entitled to their opinion, I just don´t have to listen!" That made me think about creating a C&H sig.

At first I started with some Tiax quotes but then I started putting in Discworld quotes which I think are better. You probably have to be a fan of Terry Pratchet to fully appreciate them.

Did you submit this to Ziroc, debiler? He might not have had time to put it up yet. If it's not up in a couple more days just email him about it, he's fix it up for you with no worries. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

The path for the smilies have changed, F. you need to call it from the new location now that the forum has changed its domain name.

Redblueflare 08-15-2001 11:36 AM

Well I chose my sig because I love dragons. They've been my favorite mythical creature since the beggining of time. Ah dragons....

The saying comes from the last week of school. Known to me as the week of HELL!!
Seems the senior class isn't to happy that a few sophmores are skipping a grade and joining us next year. Everyone in my entire class hates this except me and my friend Matt. They were being selfish in our opinion, and kept asking me how I felt about it. (We've only got 8 people in our class. Four more would be an improvment!) The saying just my way of making me feel better about the entire thing.

Oh Fljotsdale, it´s good to know that I´m not the only one who´s ignorant about such things. Memnoch: Ziroc already sent me an EMail where he told me the address where I would find my pic. BTW, when I type in the URL Ziroc sent me, is the picture supposed to show up(cause it doesn´t)?

Maybe it's because it's a BMP file. Try saving it as a GIF and then send that to Ziroc.

My siggy is a monster taken from "Darkstone". On other forums for some strange reason, my sig usually consists of a quote from T.S Eliot's "The Wasteland" and a strange jumping smiley http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif - Go figure!!!

(The only drawback is that I must edit each post to get the scroll effect http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif)

About my sig: same as memnoch, it was the first thing i extracted using Shadow Keeper. i had just seen memsy´s sig and i loved it, so i thought "lets get something cool". as i love mages, i extracted elminster walking and casting, then extracted a spell effect and mixed it all using the tool memnoch told me to use, the ulead gif animator.
the phrase changes constantly, lately its always about my Angel http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

Sazerac 08-15-2001 02:13 PM

My signature I used because I enjoy working with text art and its effects. It was the first time I had ever animated a background behind text art using layers and masks in Paint Shop Pro. The "wet" or "shiny" look comes from using Eye Candy beveling on each frame.

I was just fooling around at the time, but I was thrilled at the result, and decided to try it out...it worked and a lot of people (including Ziroc) really got a kick out of it, so I kept it. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Grand-Ranger 08-15-2001 02:52 PM

My first sig was a whole portait of a Elfish Ranger, my BG 2 character. It had some text but what it was escapes me at the moment. Then I erased the face and head and left the eyes, giving it the "Unseen Garduin" feel. As for the saying It is actually part of a texas song called "The Eyes of Texas" I replaced Texas with Forest and thats what I got

I got my sig from Stealthy, he had posted an assortment of them on the old "blue board" and I chose the KungFu Gal, as it had so many different maneuvers was fun to watch! Not to mention she KICKS BUTT, which I found extremely compatible! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...les/tongue.gif Later Asphyxiate was kind enough to add the fonts http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif
