Ha, does anyone remember back in the '90's when signatures were termed "siggies"?

Anyway. It would be difficult to PM each person and post this, so I'm making a general post about it. I love the signatures on this forum! I enjoy them, learn from them, and find them so interesting. Thanks for your sigs.

I guess "siggies" was before my time. I change my signatures periodically... don't have one at the moment. I'll have to try to come up with something again...

Mine are typically song lyrics that speak to me in the moment.

I was a kid in the 90s so I don't remember them being called siggies.

My signature is song lyrics from songs I like.

I turned them off for a while- but then turned them back on as it didn't feel right without seeing them.

I agree some of them are really good and have let me know about songs etc I didn't know existed

Most millenials dont know how to write their own signature. I learned how to write mine in the third grade but over the years Ive decided to mimic primarily my dad's signature and a little bit of my mom's. My dad has very poor handwriting so in elementary school I forged my dad's signature allllllll the time. The one time I got "caught" it was genuinely my dad's signature! I remember it very clearly and still laugh about it to this day. My teacher accused me of forging it so he called my dad and my dad said "yes, I signed that, it wasnt LL!" and my teacher gave me the dirtiest look hahahaha!

I thought this thread was about forum signatures? I'm confused now?

You are correct. Forum signatures.

It is about forum signatures. But I love penmanship discussions, too, as I've done hand-lettering art work for most of my life.

I remember when what were those things called...the wiggly glitter letters and pictures were popular...oh, and the "timelines". For example, if someone was going on a vacation in 6 weeks they would put a timeline in their sig and each day the timeline would move toward the "big day". Once on a forum of long ago a member made a beautiful signature for me. It was when regular people were just starting to use computer art. I saved the signature somewhere...probably MySpace, and it's long gone.

I remember that, good old myspace. I LOVED changing out the special features and the music.

And I do remember the tickers, I used them a lot, too.

I dunno, I just thought this picture was pretty and wanted something in the signature so I tossed it in there. Normally I would put words in a signature too, but I can't think of any worth putting there.

That reminds me.....it's about time to change mine

Tickers! Yes - that's what they were called. Yeah, I used tickers, too.


I miss myspace. There was a focus on art and music that just isn't there with Facebook.
