Did I start some kind of fad around here?

Did I start some kind of fad around here?

Post by Mozgus »

Just noticing a lot of people quoting others in their signatures around here, since I started doing that. Honestly, I'm kind of ashamed of it. It's such a GameFAQs thing. And Ryan didn't even do it right. :?

I came to this forum to forget all about GameFAQs. It haunts me wherever I go. Sadly, I became an "ancient" before leaving it behind and find myself drawn to it once and a while by some unknown force.

I've been quoting people in my signature since '05. I usually wait until someone does it before I do it since on some forums you get: "You can't come up with your own signature so you took a post from our forum."

I remember someone quoting me a few months ago and I thought, "Wow, cool. I guess I do have interesting things to say"

Gamefaqs is a necessary evil. Yes, the forums are full of immature people, but I always find the most accurate info about games on there. Things that game reviewers don't tell you half the time, like bugs/glitches in a game, problems with ports, etc. Just hit up the forums and you'll find REAL info on there. Things that game reviewers are SUPPOSED to tell you about.

Game reviews just scratch the surface. These people never get really in depth with the things they play

i though you were going to comment on how people on here are getting more and more surly. :wink:

but now that you mention it, i do see more quotes in the sig's these days. i think it's more due to more people being in the forum and really relating to the posts, tather than emulating you style. I would, however, give you the "Most Quoted in a Sig" award. What can I say...you type the darndest things

if i dont do it the way you think is right doesnt make the way i do it wrong. Frankly, this happens on many forums so I dont see the point in this thread.

Yes, as a matter of fact, you did it wrong. Frankly, I don't see the point of your membership. OOOOH!
