I just found these four great images on my computer. Back in the early '00s, members of this forum were really into these image tags on their sigs. These were funny. And yes they are my own creations.

The last thirteen posts of this thread make absolutely no sense to me. I think I missed that movie.


Interesting to (re)see some of the old sigs, though. I can’t remember this old one of Railroader’s:
– but now I’m left wondering what dayā is, exactly. Google claims it’s the concept of compassion, as a basic ‘unit’ in Sikhism, but I was rather unaware that Railroader was Sikh. The puns are too manifold to even mention; so I won’t.

One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

If anyone has links that I should fix for the sig wall, let me know.

I wrote that, I think, before CSS ever existed. I should fix it up.

Nahh. Liz ("sweatervest") was from New York.
"Hannah" is the name we're looking for here.

It was only up for a while.

I think the correct translation is "Grace", but I am not sure. I can't remember the exact reason I ran with it for a while.

What's more interesting than the sigs left up on the wall, are the URLs of the ones that aren't. Look at all the people that are no longer around.

It isn't a proper retro-sig thread unless we're talking about the pre-200x50 sigs.

Unfortunately, XThemes died a few years back, so I can't seem to find any of mine. Oh well.
