I wanna know about your sig!

Post by Jon »

Well, it seems EVERYONE around here makes the effort to do something with their signature, which is good, I'm a fan of signatures, they fill out threads and you can communicate thorugh them, in subtle ways :roll:

Um, please, tell me what your signature means and why :P My meaning is in there really, I noticed lots of 'military' themed sigs which looked cool and decided to copy 8) It features a Royal Navy FA2 Harrier Jump Jet and some gibberish :D (I once aspired to be a navy pilot, then real life hit me :p)

My sig image features the mighty B-36 -- the largest bomber ever built by the USA. The quote on it is a reference to an alternate history piece -- where the Strategic Air Command's motto is "SAC Does Not Turn Back"

The first line of the text sig refers to my usergroups, then the infamous "Rei Likes Pie" quote and finally a reference to the old-time ASVSers.

The second line refers to the there boards I am or was very active on and any unofficial or official "ranks" I may have achieved.

The third line is another ASVS reference, in this case my STGOD character and when I first joined ASVS.

Mine's a just a humorous one promoting the Mech Maniacs using Minmei and the SDF-1 from Macross. Im a fan of Macross so I felt compelled to make one with that theme.

I'm gonna make a new one soon though as this one is getting old and boring IMO.

The other stuff underneath the picture are just funny memorable quotes.

Shockwave from Transformers.

A nice quote from him as well.

The other part is just groups and such.

Then there's my quote I like(changes)

And the last part is nice joke I enjoy with Howedar's little fun fun bit he's yapping now about.

It's a little tribute to Shaun of the Dead, the funniest film of the year and one of the best so far.

I also have a load of biology or military based ones that I routinely go through and make more as I get ideas.

I often have a witty quote, this time it's from Charles Darwin who shares my same view on maths and I also have a link to a science forum and general science webzine that I'm co-maintaining.

I don't think mine requires much in the way of explanation. I point out some quotes from various people that make me laugh, I mention my alma mater's engineering motto, and I have a picture that describes my status as a HAB member and Warwolves PSAO. I used to list all of the groups I was a member of, but since I'm a member of most of the groups on the board it just took up too much room.

well, my sig is kinda military themed. It's based around a realism mod for UT called Infiltration. One of the mod's mottos was "As close as you can get without a class-III license." Well, take a wild guess what a class-III license is.

I have reverted to the pic and sig I had when I first joined which is a bit of Engrish from the videogame series Samurai Shodown.

The pic is of Genjuro Kibagami, uber badass also from the game series.

My sig pretty much explains itself.
Zaia said about my drag pics "You make a lovely chick, which I would think would be rather difficult for a hot guy." which I still like to gloat about so it's in my sig.
I like Dr. Seuss, hence his quote in my sig
The next bit is just groups I'm a member of on the board.
And the bannana is a reference to a picture Pounder had in his sig once, he had a dancing monkey, which I still miss btw, so I have a dancing bannana.

My signature pic symbolizes how I am the leader of SIERED, a division of the HAB. Basically, we torture people because they have information that we need. Or not, it really makes no difference.

The pic has all sorts of cool torture things, aversion therapy, thumbscrews, torture droid etc.

The written stuff is fairly obvious. The last line is a poem I created which describes me.
Name changes are for people who wear women's clothes. - Zuul

Wow. It took me a good minute to remember I didn't have testicles. -xBlackFlash

Are you sure this isn't like that time Michael Jackson stopped by your house so he could use the bathroom? - Superman

Well the first one is paraphrased from the book "March Upcountry" by David Weber and John Ringo.

Then the next to basically reflects my love of my ass and its amazing superpowers and the last part is a link to my webpage.

My sig is pretty generic, and I spent five minutes making my banner because I felt left out :D Simply some topical quotes, and a banner announcing my HAB membership and Infiltration fanwhorage :)

Targeteer of the HAB: Requisite HAB issue SIG, required by THE GREAT LEADER.

It refers to my near-perfect "claw of destruction" of two 100kt devices and
a single 40kt devices placed over Nablus in the West Bank, which drew
praise from a honest to god real life Nuclear War Planner from a different
board.


Then: My membership in the GDC;

Requisite Anti Editing Mafia Bit;

A made up confucious quote describing why it isn't a good idea to
get into a shitslinging fight with me;

And a rundown of the threads on the Moderator forum involving me :twisted:

I have a sig? I don't think I've changed it in a year!

The first two lines are quotes I found funny, and the third line shows the various uergroups I'm in.

Mine is just a cool quote that illustrates the difficulty Maxwell had in getting acceptance that the equations he had developed were correct.
"I have also a paper afloat, with an electromagnetic theory of light, which, till I am convinced to the contrary, I hold to be great guns."

Let's see.

Heretic Of PSW comes from my frequent clashes with the 'mainstream' thought there, for better or worse. Logic Enforcer of Fantasy was originally a reference to my tendency to leap into threads there and beat people into objective viewpoints; now I do this armed with Moderator powers.

My sig is a nice little thing covering a quote of mine, my rank within the Black Mages, and noting my presense in the BOTM. I never got around to adding my placement in other groups.

The next line is a list of user groups. I can't spell Ubitoraqute, so I just put All Seeing Eye.

Next is an utterly random quote. Don't ask me from whence it came, I know not.

Debator Classifications were big lately, I never knew where they came from. I just style myself a TrollHunter, embarking on the same path as legends from ASVS. Watch me savage Darth Shinji sometime.

The Editing Mafia thing is just a blatant mocking of Sheppard and his little group. By the by, am I alone in finding intense irony coming from a Horseman(Whose lot in life is to edit posts) joining something called the 'Anti-Editing Mafia'? Perhaps they need to get a name that doesn't suck.

Anti-Editing Mafia: If a certain other mafia's powers aren't mere delusion, why am I still here?

And its Ubiqtorate.
