How/where did you get your sig/avatar?

Asst. Asst. Lt. Cmdr. Smi · Post by **Asst. Asst. Lt. Cmdr. Smi** » 2002-11-05 09:28pm

Some of my sig is just things I made up, and I got my avatar from a picture I found at Saxton's Technical Commentaries, about Imperial ranks and uniforms. I thought it looked funny.

My signature is from "The Simpsons," one of the greatest comedy series of all time. I thought it was appropriately disrespectful. My avatar is from the cover of Catch-22, and was chosen to try and maintain some of the original "charm" (as Stravo put it), of not having an avatar despite my already high post count. I got the avatar after Mr. Bean threatened me with making my avatar an embarrassing picture of me commenting of how 50 comic books was greater than my IQ.

Sig is from a poster seen in the background of Garland's castle in 8-Bit Theater.

Avatar I got by google image searching for skaven.

Various things. And the avvie came from a doll that I made online.

The Dark · Post by **The Dark** » 2002-11-05 09:35pm

My avatar is a Dragonstriker Exo-armor from Jovian Chronicles.

The first part of my sig is to poke a bit of fun at fundamentalists while getting across that I am Christian myself, though a liberal one who believes that science is good.

Second is an inside joke from the Heavy Gear universe.

Third is my way of saying I read David Weber's books and like them

Fourth is just a joke, since every post adds +1 to the post count (until that evil tyrant Mr. Bean deletes them

j/k, Bean).

Fifth is an old joke from school, when we read The Wind in the Willows. We were playing practical jokes on a friend, and he was trying to say we were all weasels, but couldn't remember the word weasel, so he said "you are all a bunch of stoats." Just struck me as funny.

Lord Bean at Bean Manor, though most of my imagins are found through Google-search

My avatar should be recognizable to all the WH4)Kers. It's the NightLord's badge.

And my sig is cobbled together from all sorts of places. The Cult of Weber is the name for the Weber devotees on Sb.com. The quote before my rank is from Revelations. The horsemen stuff is self explantory. And the rest are just quote I like, the sources are noted.

Ted · Post by **Ted** » 2002-11-05 09:39pm

My AV is a pic of HMY Royal Caroline model.
My sig is a qoute of Boney that I got on Sheps website, as well as the Cultss/Brotherhoods/Jihads I'm a part of as well as my 1000th post.

TrailerParkJawa · Post by **TrailerParkJawa** » 2002-11-05 09:41pm

My avatar in in the Quake 1 directory someplace.

Shinova · Post by **Shinova** » 2002-11-05 09:42pm

My avatar is Laika Ishikawa from Tsunami Channel.

My sig is a poem I wrote. But I might switch back to my old one, which has two self-made quotes and a personal/service record.

Howedar · Post by **Howedar** » 2002-11-05 09:45pm

My avatar is one I stole from somebody that I use on boards that don't have big enough avatars to use my normal one. I'm thinking of switching to a different Catch-22 one though, I really like the picture on the cover of mine.

Signature is self-explanatory: idiots in their element.

Anarchist Bunny · Post by **Anarchist Bunny** » 2002-11-05 09:47pm

Avatar is the toughest enemy in Final Fantasy 1, the War Mech and my sig is a stats board on my Quest to Play Lots of Final Fantasy[still on hold]

Datana · Post by **Datana** » 2002-11-05 09:48pm

Both sig and avatar are out of Xenogears for me. The avatar is the symbol of the Church in the game, while the quote is one that I found especially appropriate for the board in its inappropriateness (thus prompting me to use the avatar I did as well). I'll switch to something else when I finally make Padawan again.

Better:

BOTM...BWUAH!!!

Comes from being in the BOTM, as well as a common opening on AIM.

Urge for villainy rising...

Comes from the Princess in 8-bit theatre soon after the bad guy is defeated (excuse me if I can't remember his name)

post count +1, evil count +2

Comes from various spammer threads, as well as demonstrating my evilness.

I think it's obvious...

GLBT stuff: "Always forward, never straight." and "Don't assume I'm a breeder."

It SHOULD be obious...if it's not then I dunno where your mind is...

aerius · Post by **aerius** » 2002-11-05 09:56pm

My current avatar is the devil himself, from the cover of the Iron Maiden album "The Number of the Beast". It's subject to change at any moment, I'm already in double digits for avatars used, damn rabid monkey title.

1st sig line is a quote I found somewhere that amused me.

2nd one is the motto of the bike shop where I now work, it's incredible how dumb people can be.

3rd one's self explanatory

Last one says "brotherhood of the monkey", or at least it use to before I ran the phrase through a web based translation site about 20 times and had it translated back and forth into over 10 different languages.

A great game BTW, although, I never fully understood the entire plot and the who/what/where about all the characters.

I made mine in MS Paint and got the pictures/sig from Aqua Teen Hunger Force on Adult Swim...specifically, the Mooninites.

Post by **Sea Skimmer** » 2002-11-05 10:07pm

My first SA-N-4 one came off of navaltechnology.com's Ivan Rogov page
My short lived T-90 came off ROSOBORONEXPORT's site
My SPAAG also came from ROSOBORONEXPORT's site
The first clone gunship came from an image in Aaron Ash's signature but was edited to remove pieces of two other gunships' and a clone helmet
Second gunship came from an image on starwars.com
My current Avatar was taken from an image on stardestroyer.net

First part of my sig is one of the Emperors line in ROTJ. The second part of my sig is from a Dilbert strip with Dogbert and Dilbert.

starfury · Post by **starfury** » 2002-11-05 10:14pm

the current avatar is clan star adder, I originally used a model ISD, then a f-15 and finally clan steel viper before settling for the current serpent logo, I haven't changed my sig however.

I picked Milhouse cuz I had more than 2 people in one day say I looked like him. I usta have the absorbant one Spongebob Squarepants, simply because he represents the inner child and pot head within us all.

You don't see me with an avvie of Dave Navarro becuase three people in two days said I looked like him, do you? Or Joe Camel, for that matter...

Avatar is a screenshot I made of a Homeworld Super Acolytes- love those ion cannons. Wonder if one of those can cripple a star destroyer if it can get close enough

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2002-11-05 10:26pm

My current avatars:

Cammy White (My main one, which I use when I'm not experimenting. I've been using it regularly for over a year.)

Big Bird (This was the first avatar I used on this board, before switching to Cammy)

Asuka Langley Soryu (I have about nine Asuka avatars that I've recently made. These are what I'm experimenting with.)

Sig:

1. The Picture with Japanese text says "kidou senshi Z gandamu", which is the name for the 80s anime series Mobile Suit Z Gundam (Z is pronounced "zeta".) This show is the pinnicle of the Gundam Saga, and my personal favorite.
The text below it is paraphrased from the series' first opening, reflecting my devotion.

2. This is paraphrased from one of the last lines in The End of Evangelion, and is what I consider to be one of the most important messages in Eva.

3. Praise for everyone's favourite "space nazis", the Principality of Zeon from Mobile Suit Gundam.

4. Announcement that I'm currently working on an Eva fanfic.
