Topic awaiting preservation: Don't bother making your own sig pay someone else to do it!! (Page 1 of 1)

I just ran across this from the referer logs and I was wondering if people would really pay someone to make their sigs for them??:

The fact that they are largely great big ugly slabs of potentially copyrighted material aside it seems to remove the personal aspect from such things.

Ha ha...That's hilarious! (Normal Height/Width is 400 *180! By God those are HUGE). I think that Emps hit it right on with the first part of his last sentance: "Great big ugly slabs of potentially copyrighted material."

My roommate was telling me about a friend of his who makes extra cash selling Everquest characters.

WTF?

What is this world wide web coming to?

Well, I would certainly hope not, but on the bright side, this link seems to have shut down the page from bandwidth overload =)

thats funny, having to pay for a sig.

By definitions a sig is personnal, so I don't know what are those guys creating but this is surely not sigs. Just images they sell.

And Krets this already happened for Diablo... There were characters playable on Bnet sold by auction on Ebay ! The record was a few thousands dollars... And yes, it's a shame.

Silence is another speech. -Me

"I know what. Let's steal lotsa pictures off the net then offer to add someone's name to them with all sorta of filters an bevels and sell them as original sigs. The kids will eat it up..."

So much for another get rich quick scheme.

Not only that, but that's one ass-ugly site.

talk about tarnishing the asylum name...

emps - would this warrant a legalistic email from asylum incorporated requesting a removal of all links to asylum material?

huh

and the site is gone now. now, who did that?

PSSSTTT!!!

I only have one complaint with that description, and that's with the potentially part. I saw quite a few sigs in that rotation that include definitely copyrighted material.

Whoehahaha...

"Freedom of speech is by no means freedom to insult others" from the Razorart goodbye letter.

ok, why dont we all place orders and we can see what he can come up with ?? NOT !!!!

Its a damn shame.

Besides being *ass-ugly* the only link on the page that works is back to the FAQ info on sig hosting.
The *order here* is not a link..We`re saved.
