After talking to sohmer, we came to this conclusion on signatures (as noted in the rulez thread)

5. Signatures.
--Signature images need to be restricted to 600x125 pixels and less than 50k in size.
--You may have multiple images in signatures, however they cannot exceed the 125pixel height or the file size.
--Text signatures need to be a little more contained than they have been. translation, tone them down. Many of the signatures make up the majority of a post, which just isn't right. So tone them down. I'd like to keep to a maximum of 6ish lines. I'm not gonna be strict on it unless it doesn't change.

I'm giving a week then I'll PM you about it and delete the current offending signatures. Thanks for saving bandwidth and all that stuff.

Oooo, good point on the bandwidth thing, dont want the site to go down.

hahahahahaha

I eat emos for breakfast. Just remembver when slitting your wrists to not run Robbie Razor across the street, but rather down the road.

Thanks!

Ohh...thats why the blood never ran the right direction...
btw is this sig alright now?

Yup. Im not gonna count quote box tags in the line count

Bad Kay! How dare you teach emos survival tips.

Um, if they survie down the tracks, then wow. That wouldnt be what i calla survival technique

Survival technique? Nah, its teaching them how to do the job right so we dont have to hear them bitch about how it didnt work the last X many times they slit their wrists.

Going down the wrist doesnt fully cut the vein, it just causes a lot of pain. It'll heal. Slitting your wrists completley opens the vein and makes you bleed out.

Um. Going down, not across, will prevent veins from being sewn shut in time to save someone. SLitting wrists it can still clot.

=\ I'm guessing its because youre out of da teenage years, so you dont know anyone who cuts for attention (I added the last part because there ARE people that self-mutilate for non-attention seeking reasons; although this is ALWAYS coupled with a desire to hide it, so now adays its done in places other than the wrist, as cutting is so ubiquitous). The "down the road" method is the 'safe' method. Chances are you'll miss the vein, and even if you do; slitting downwards tends to start lower than horizontal cutting, where the vein is deeper in the arm and more well protected. If they do cut downwards, the cut too shallow and well protected for serious problems, which is how olden-day cutters (basically, back before it was made into a fashion statement) could get away with popping into the bathroom, doing it, then just popping a sweatband over.

Trust me, I'm an emoologist. I've studied the entire lifespan of the average emo, from when they hatch to when they die (the natural death tends to be age 26, kidney implosion)

Down the road is not the "safe method" it is the you gonna die method actually. Trust me on this one, i know.

...The term originated on old support forums for genuine cutters, as an easy way to remember that saftey tip. It did not originate as a taunt, it was adapted later to become one. People, not knowing where it came from, have misinterpreted its intent.

And if we're going to bring up personal experiences, one of my best friends committed suicide by slitting his wrists.

Oy this is going down a very bad path, not to mention sensitive information.

Anyways, on the top I guess I should get my ass back into the photoshop kitchen and fix my signature.

Eww, you touch them? Gross.


It's not down the road OR across the street. It's into the jugular.


...actually, if they survived that would be a survival technique. That's kinda the point.

Everyone forgets the femural artery. It's like mining for treasure... or red blood cells. >.> <.<
DIG FOR IT!

Everyone knows it's more fun when you slit your own throat. If you survive, you get a gravelly voice.

I always found throwing people in front of trains makes for the best suicide. Not only do you get brutally ripped to shreds, but you ruin the day for hundreds of people.

If that's all you're trying to do, get a bunch of people to hide bits of your desiccated corpse about the city on a hot day.

I don't think I could find people so willing.

Rats, on the other hand, are cheaper and more readily available.

I'll give you a hand. It'll cost you, though.

I think I'll stick to the rats.

And rather then my suicide, I shall aid in the forced suicide of the homeless.

Their consent is not required.

Solve the homeless problem one twenty pound bag of rat poison at a time.

It's the ethical thing to do.

Except this time, we use the rats.

Rat onna stick could take off. It has market appeal.

What about the Rat Flail?

It's practical application as a Bankai is limited. As a rat onna stick, it is expensive but doable.

All we need to do now is shove skewers up rats arses.

You round up some rats, I'll get some skewers.

Why do I have to get the plague carriers?

Because I don't want to handle them because all I can think about when I do are tiny rat nipples.

Great, now that's all I'll be thinking about. And tiny rat crotches.

They have so many nipples. So very many.

Would it be economical to milk them?

Only if you have some super virile rat males impregnating them around the clock to keep them lactating.

I could do that.

Ballscratch lover of all...

Hey, I'm not discriminatory in my love giving, making or delivering.

And I bet the tiny woodland creatures would thank you if they could.

Hey, I know how to enjoy a good blood orgy.

What he lacks in finesse he makes up for in enthusiasm.

And willingness to explore.

Tongues, fingers, eyebrows, he'll use anything and get it ribbed for your pleasure.

The ribs in my fingers are starting to rip the skin, though.

Okay guys, as much as the derailling is amuzing, lets stick to the topic of signatures. If you have questions on whats appropiirate or if yours is, let me know.

Is it appropiirate to have a sig that makes fun of the mods spelling?

Moral question: Should I acknowledge the author of my sig IN my sig?

What is this "moral" you speak of?

Nope not appropriate. I'm in blinding sunlight so can't reallly see my posts as I type them right now (which is making work hard, but boss said "Don't close the blinds it makes us look like we're not open.)

You dont have to attribute its up to you Ball
