Hokay. The first forum I ever joined, I had a username I didn't like at all, and, considering that, I didn't want to be referred to by it. But I didn't just want to use my regular name; I figured a nickname would be easier to remember.

Now, I'm terrible with names, and I can never remember what people want me to call them. So I figured, 'Why not just put it where everyone can see it at all times? Then they won't have to remember, and I won't have to tell people to call me that or remind them.' It seemed like less trouble for everyone.

And the habit has carried over to all other forums. I mean, why bother only doing it some of the time? That's pointless.

So, yes, there's the logic behind it. Can you stop whining about this now?

Use a signature. Just put ~Maggot in your signature and we'll get it. Better yet, why can't make your signature "Just call me Maggot".

Honestly, it's just pointless.

From now on, I'll try to make a habit of avoiding this:

"[Subject] is retarded! Stop it!"

and trying to stick with this:

"I don't really like [subject]. Does anyone else agree with me?"

I think it'd be a bit more forum-friendly, and if people disagree with me, I'd get more of a positive response.

When something irritates me I tend to rant rather than say something like:

I don't like it when you people sign your posts, here's why.

Of course not. I'd be honored.

1) In my experience, people skip over signatures without meaning to. Again, I know I do that. I've talked to people with their names in their signatures, but I don't notice. If it's in the post, people will notice, which, again, saves everyone trouble, therefore it's not at all pointless.

2) I like to have other things in my signature (I just haven't gotten around to it on here yet).

Not as pointless as wastong space with a crappy thread about something you could just as easily ignore.

Can I use your signature to gain status, too? =D

And Laura...<.< *huggles*...>.> bye bye now.

madmatt621 · 07-14-2007, 10:21 PM

If you don't like what people do with their signatures when they are replying, then stop coming into the forums.

That was, like, the creepiest thing that ever happened to me. Seriously. ... I think I've turned him straight. O_O;

You will soon, though. =o

But he's "Proud-Homosexual"!

Syncretic and New.Abortion, get on topic or will report you both.

~DAshoe93~

Ramengan · 07-14-2007, 10:28 PM

It's going to be confusing seeing people running around the forums all calling themselves ~Maggot.

Syncretic, I just realized your avatar is from vgcats.

Shut up, sandals/DAshoe93.

Ramengan · 07-14-2007, 10:34 PM

Unfortunately, evilcowgod, I don't think the signing is going away. I guess your only option is to continue ignoring it.

On many occasions, not everyone agrees with the member that rants. That's why something like this would be more effective IMO.

"People signing their names in their signature is quite annoying IMO. *Lists reasons*

Does anyone else agree with me?"

With the rant that you made, it atleast looked like you assumed that everyone else agreed with you. In fact, you're probably [unintentionally] using reverse psychology.

A few of us did that for a while.

Even in random places she didn't frequent. *CoughSpammed,Maggot,Spammed!EvenMimeygoestherecough*

Yup. I love VGCats.

Heh. Aw, I remember thinking that about the-n... I still had to make those insanely racist comments to get banned in 48 hours. (First reasonable forum ban ftw)

No, not a crush... a uhm... stalkerish obsession?

I'm surprised it took that long. I'd have thought it'd have been almost instant.

I suppose that's a better word for it. Either way, it's creepy, and something gay guys shouldn't have.

XD! I'll never be able to think up that kind of stuff again.

Especially the one about blacks causing AIDs.

Tch, we all know you're being lured into his irresistibility where you will fall in love with him.

Uh...sure. I could find it, but a link is easier.

I loved the one about God stealing your soul, too. The responses on that thread were great.

Shhhh. Don't tell Matt, 'kay? >.>
