What was your first sig in the ASMB?

[The_annoying_one]

I have no clue what mine was.

Your turn. 

[LoverDemon]

Mine was blank, I'd just signed onto the site.

In all seriousness, it was just a bunch of threads that I frequented to generate discussion.

[The_annoying_one]

I didn't mean immediately when you joined. 

Mine was probably some random song or movie quote. That's what I usually did.

[discolé monade]

there was something about being actors, and a stage.

and there was another about hookah's 

and then the final was a t. jefferson quote. 

silly things, sigs. 

i have to block all sigs, because there are some that like that strobe light affect.

[The_annoying_one]

I haven't even been able to see sigs here, until I got my new tablet a day or 2 ago.

I've been posting on an out-of-date iPhone since I joined the UEMB.

[[classic swim]]

Probably an ATHF or Sealab reference. I don’t do much with sigs, I’m too lazy to change out the one I apparently have right now.

[The_annoying_one]

I've always changed mine at least once a month. I get bored very easily.

[katt_goddess]

Toss up. It was either: 

They said I'd live forever, but they lied...it's been much longer...

or

This sig is brought to you by the letters 'F' and 'U' and the number '2'

I also had a list of quick links to a few active threads at various points over the years.

That was me, with icons, I couldn't keep the same one for very long and I would alter it based on my mood.

Kind of shocked I've had this same one so long, but I haven't come across anything better. Plus the memes.

I absolutely love both of those.

I change my icon pretty often too, but not as often as sigs.

And yes, mood is a major factor in both of them for me.

[Insipid]

I still actually remember. "The sad truth is that the truth is sad." Some emo quote from A Series of Unfortunate Events.

[Raptorpat]

Mine was just a list of links to threads of personal interest I think, maybe a reference to the Royal Hall or the UBF. But eventually drew deleted it and replaced it all with "i got pantsed by an admin"

My soul simply won't bleed

Coal blackened walls surround my scene

Hardened callous, I've been stung by bees

Forfeited courage keeps me in need

 

Probably the most emo sig I ever had.

Edited June 10, 2023 by The_annoying_one

[tsar4]

Something similar to what I have now.

[crackymckrackin]

I'm sure it was a funny quote. I have no idea what that quote was.

I'd expect no less from a progressive metal band.

One of my favorite songs of theirs, to be honest.

[Seight]

I think it was something like "I have ADHD, which is like ADD but with better picture quality."

[Gene_starwend]

I think mine was a link to one of those DVD collection sites or link to original MMM. Lol super simple. 

[Gemini]

I think mine just had people I liked. (People from the boards, I mean.)

No clue, I stopped making them and I think I blocked other people's because some stretched the page to hell.

I spent a good chunk of last night looking for a good gif to put in my sig. I found some good ones, but like you said, they stretched the page to hell.

[SwimOdin]

I remember one I had for a while had a bunch of helpful links for noobs because I’m a FUCKING NERD

[The_annoying_one]

Oh, come on, Odin! We're all FUCKING NERDS here. 

[SwimOdin]

Yeah, but, damn was I earnest, like an overzealous hall monitor. My kingdom in a 6x18 hallway…

[eklipse]

Something lame.  I think it was like Apple Snapple is Snapple Apple.  *cringes* I had a link to a Naruto gif too because I was a big Narutard.  (I’m still proud of this tho 😂)

I liked DragoonKnight’s sig, it was something like “teen pregnancies drop at 20”.

[scoobdog]

Pretty sure my first sig was the last line of Camus’ L’Etranger and The Luuv Links.

[Distortedreasoning]

pretty sure mines were all shout outs. it grew as time went by.

The first sig I remember best had ^ in it and ladyhermaphrodite whoever that was

something about building a catapult ....'09ish

my 04 account didn't have a sig and after the above mentioned one ryan_expert made me a gnarly SEGA one I rocked for as long as I could

the sega genesis intro one? 

[Virtual Satyr]

Don't remember my first but my most popular one was about drinking Dr. Pepper through Terri Schiavo's used tubes.

[SwimOdin]

I remember a time of “board marriages” where it seemed like their sigs were their marriage certificates

edit: all sorts of errors

Oops

No, the catapult one

[Lynnrael]

I'm pretty sure it was something stupid and edgy, either "all in good fun" or some variation of "c'est la vie" i think? many of my signatures were embarrassing attempts at being cool

[nameraka]

The maxx, I think.

[Lasty]

A technicolor shoult out list. "I am the devil, and these are my advocates:" is what it said, I think.

Once there was a mod who made a spelling error that stuck... the end. Like my story? Better than ChatGPT, right?

I have no idea, but I did put quotes in my sig. The only version of it that seems to be up on the Internet Archive has a bit from George Carlin.

I think roughly 90% of my sigs were always song lyrics.

what bit was it? i love George Carlin

[blueraven1999]

Mine was the same for years and pretty much the same as here.

I had Conan and Usopp fanatic since 2003.

For a month or so I had changed it to "There's nothing wrong with talking to inanimate objects as long as they don't talk back."

but Usopp is my favorite so I changed it back to Conan and Usopp fanatic since 2003 after awhile.

"Incredibly, there was no Hitler. There is no record of any such person. It's true, there was a little German man with a small moustache [sic?] who combed his hair to one side and started World War II. He also killed six million Jews. But he was not Hitler. He was, in fact, a shoemaker named Hank Fleck."

[as recounted here]

[ZoomBubba]

I don't remember. Probably some shallow philosophical post that I was keen on in those rather lonely days.

[Greeny]

Oh, I remember now. It was blank.
