*shrug* You've got to put something as a testing title.

Number two.

preeeeetty.

Yea, really

I hate you.

nice one

Nice... but very simple fo you fool.

                                     

I like it. Very nice work. How did you get you name so clear? Everytime I use my name small it turns out either jaggie or blurry.

Notice moth that the edges of the name are not transparent. The whole thing has a matte except the edges.

Moth: sometimes it depends on the font. In general, when you make a big sig, and size it down, the font can get blurry. And, as InSiDeR said, when you work with transparent sigs it's possible that jaggies turn up at the edges.

(I don't think that my name's that clear on this sig anyway... I did blur stuff a bit.)

edit: meh. does anyone know if it's possible to center an image using only UBB code?

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

Good eyes Insider. I did not spot the matte.

Mahjqa, thanks for the tips regarding fonts. I assumed I was doing something incorrectly. I guess I'll just have to keep experimenting until I find the best font.
Don't know how to center the sig using UBB. But then again what I know about UBB could fit on one page with room to spare for my grocery list.

PS. I loved the catching lightning pic.

nice work!
IMHO, the white cross in the middle is a tad bright, other than that, it's lookin' very cool - and very unique.

Yea it's nice but it all looks a bit too blurry to me. Maybe just a tad less blury and it would look even more nice .

Thanks, everyone.

Insider; Naah, I keep it.

The thing is somewhat inspired by Nicholas D Wolfwood and Seifer Almasy.

...

...

You know something else? Anyone who knows who they are (both of them) gets a free sig.

AND NO GOOGLING!

Ahhh thats easy!

Nicholas D Wolfwood created the Trigun series, which indeed was awesome!

2 words can sum up Seifer Almasy, Final Fantasy .

MAKE ME A DAMN SIG!

Wolfwood didn't 'create' the series. Bad dog, no biscuits.
Edit: I'll give you one more chance, though.
#1 Explain what both persons have to do with the cross in my sig,
#2 Name the professions of Seifer and Nicholas.

If there's anyone who manages to answer both questions before InSiDeR, he/she gets the sig instead.



[This message has been edited by mahjqa (edited 11-11-2002).]

That background is reminiscent of Seifer's logo thing. Seifer's profession was bad guy, though he worked for the same organization as Squall, right?
Oh geez, it's been so long. THey worked for SeeD, hunting down sorcerers who misused their magic.

Nicholas D. Wolfwood is a charector in trigun, who happens to be a priest and carry a big F'in Cross, which is really a concealed weapon. Don't remember much more than that, I've only ever watched about one and half Trigun episodes.


Do I win?

Yup, that's correct.

I'll start as soon as I'm home. Insider, don't worry, you'll get a small one, too.

Heehee, I'm interested to see what you cook up for me.

*cries, sobbs*

WHY??????

AHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[This message has been edited by mahjqa (edited 11-12-2002).]

why do you cry? Your still getting a small sig right?

I WANT A BIG ONE!!!!!!

wow.

boo hoo poor baby. not.

insider, be satisfied with the small one
HEY, the i mean, mahjqa does something for you...so be thankful

-THE SPACE-

NOOOO!!!!!!

well ok

Not my fault you couldn't stand against me in the Geekqualizer.

YOU'LL DIE!

Heh geekqualizer, thats a great show...

I'M GONNA KILL YOU!......

Challenge me on a different subject, shall we? Biatch?... Bring it!

Classical music.


Owned.

Actually, some of it's not bad. I don't like the mellow, sad stuff, but some of Tchechowski (sp?) and Vivaldi isn't bad

My knowledge on Classical music isn't excellent, but I consider it above average .

How old was mozart when he wrote his first composition ever?

Started playing music at age 3. Wrote first comp at age 5.

I refreshed the page, and the first thing that loaded was izzy's post. I though: "Holy Shit!"

Then I saw it in context, and my amazement and disbeleif went down the drain

sorry man.... to paraphrase a great person, "I think I was being potty trained at that time"

The top-left of the S in InSiDeR has a pixel prob...

Hehe...great sig, though...you da man, Mahjqa!

SHIT if thats a small sig i hate to see a big one...

Hehehehe Mahqa you crack me up

What famous opera's overture starts with a cello quintet depicting the rising son?

Who composed Dei Freisutz?

What now-defunct instrument is the direct parent of the cello?

What classical composer was known as the Waltz King?


*cough*
Above average my ass. Of course, these days, average is knowing who Beethoven was.

Heh, geeks? It seems "geek" is what's "hip" now. Very... neat.

Hey, speaking of final fantasy 8, what was that group that idolized Quistis called? Oh, right "trepies", wasn't it?

Buncha mahjies around here


Oh, anyway, really nice mahjqa. And you're right, it would look a lot better in the middle.

Mahjqa- check our collaborative project for updates when you get a minute, please.

=)

The bass, not guitar, stand-up base. At least I think .

I'm almost ready to take a guess on the waltz king.... Not sure on that one either. I think it was Strauss? He was some austrian guy....

There are many subjects I can own you on too so... heh.

Mahjqa, I don't like that sig, I do hate you now.

Besides it's not small enough.

Insider, your are not serious are you. Why dont you shut your trap door and make another sig for yourself? THe world is not all about you, you, you... yet you contine to make thread after thread all about you.

[This message has been edited by eyezaer (edited 11-13-2002).]

I made this thread? Hmm, I forced Mahjqa to make me a sig? hmm..

Am I missing something? I don't have a clue.


WAIT WAIT! NOW I GET IT! THIS THREAD IS ABOUT ME AND NOT MAHJQA'S SIG RIGHT? wait thats not it either? oh.... fuck

yea i'll shut my trap door, that wasn't open to begin with

wtf...why are you always unsatisfied? I mean
mahjqa made YOU ...YOU a sig so shut the fuck
up and be thankful...I think that you need more
käsetoast

*tries to imagine*

sorry, i just can't do it.

hmm.... I *think* he may have missed my point... ah well... sorry about that.

Sorry to start a fire Mahjqa... bleh.

                                     

I don't mean to poor more gasoline on it but...

'Now imagine if he had a clue' kind of insults me.

And I don't see how I am always unsatisfied either ...

~peers around the corner~

Weew, maybe Jamie will skip this thread ya think?

you're insulted. boo hoo.

saying "i do hate you now" could insult someone too.

that's life.

you asked for a big sig.

it's big. it's a sig.

and as far as some people think - it's a pretty good sig for representing you.

take it with a laugh, take it with offense, or maybe just make yourself a sig.

any more problems with anyone? take it to email.

...meanwhile back at the bat thread, Mahjqa continues to work on Lucid Iguana's sig...

Any bets it's going to be a crucified pear?

And those are the last words I'd like to spend on this. Don't like it? Don't use it. If you have anything more to say give me an email ( ). I will delete any further whining on this subject.

Lucid Igunana; Michael pointed me to some work I'll have to do first, but I'll try to finish it as soon as possible. And you're not going to get any crucified pears either. I like Izzay way too much to do such an horrendous thing.

Mahjqa,
Cool beans, take your time, you volunteered to do it, I can't really bitch if it takes a little while =p

Insider,

There were two composers named Strauss.

The progenitor of the cello was the viola de gamba. The bass came a couple hundred years later. Usually things develop from small to big music-wise.



[This message has been edited by Lucid Iguana (edited 11-13-2002).]

Mahjqa, I am sorry if my quip about a crucified pear was offensive. I saw that your sig and Lucid Iguana's were both crosses and I had this image of Lucid Iguana's current sig re-done in this new style.

Naah. It's nothing, don't worry. I just happen to have a soft spot for pears...

Yo Lucid, one more thing. Do you want a see-through reptile or a bigass shooting religious symbol?



[This message has been edited by mahjqa (edited 11-13-2002).]

*shakes head* Is there no respect for the sacred pear?

heh.

                                     

Umm...Nope...

I'd love a see-through reptile, but whatever you wanna make is fine with me.


I respect the pear a lot. Remember that I did the crucipear to prove that it was a religious icon!

it wants to be animated!

I thought about it, but I couldn't really think of something to do with it. And I sure as hell don't feel like animating it right now.

I just don't think that it needs to be.



[This message has been edited by mahjqa (edited 11-15-2002).]

I work at a lighting store and we sell this little desk lamp that has a wooden base shaped as a pear. Almost stole it for Izzy.

Grumble, I just realized that you have a random sig. I love them, especially the Google parody!

thanks.

And yes, it's the Violoncello, but when I say that, people give me weird looks and ask me if my throat is alright =p

Generally when I write it, I put " 'cello " but I forgot this time.

Kine, cool! heh... i have *no* room for a desk light though... ya know what i would really like yas to keep your eyes open for... would be a pair of "fuzzy pears" for my car rearview mirror.

oh... yeah... baybee.

I am serious.

as for the rest of you hypocrites, I shall deal with you when I get time.

                                     

EDIT by mahjqa; sorry Wakkos, you may have a point, but as I said, no more posts on this subject.


EDIT by Wakkos: mahjqa, my foult, did't pay attention to your post.

Ok then...it's time to play 'Name That Shakespeare'

Name the play, and if possible, the act, scene, and if your really good, the line and character.

Here's the first one:

"I swear by Cupid's strongest bow;
By his best arrow with the golden head;
By the simplicity of Venus' doves;
By that which knitteth souls and prospers love;"

ogie - i actually saw that play last night! it was a performance by a year 9 girls english class, but it was really good, and the person who played puck was fantastic!

Is it a midsummers night dream?

Just a guess, because of the mention of "puck"
