When am I able to write a signature above my avatar instead of the word member? Been wondering this for awhile...

Don't worry. When the time comes, you won't even have to think about it. It'll just happen. :)

I don't think he's set foot in the OT realm before.

If you really don't know: the mods give people usually undesirable tags after you post about certain things (I was unlucky enough to receive 3 of them :( Mine is actually supposed to read "MIMICforMod2005" :p). But once in a blue moon, they let you pick your own tag (I got of those).

Speaking of which....

Really :p But is it time based?


All right, the direct approach then. This signature you speak of is called a tag. You have no control over it. It is not time-based. It is admin-based. When you do or say something funny, stupid, or noteworthy, an admin will give you a humourous or witty tag reflected said act of stupidity or humour.

Ok, thanks. Guess I have been boring in all my posts then :)

I've come to the conclusion that my lack of a tag, with this many posts, means i'm a reasonable poster.

Well, i don't post anything noteworthy...i'm notorious for killing threads left and right, i'm a Mike Vick whore and i sign my name after every post....therefore, i get mocked :lol Hence, my tag :)

I only ever had a tag in the previous incarnation of the forum, back when I think it was bishop would occasionally create some very temporary tag-giving threads. I had either Beacon of Despair or Lionel Hutz in Training, or maybe both at different times.

If you wanted a tag, would it be more prudent to post in the gaming or off topic forum? Or bypass them and chat in #ga?

Just keep posting personal or completely idiodic threads in the OT and you'll get a tag in no time.

I've found the best way to get a tag is to ask Mike_Works. He's usually pretty good about that kind of stuff.
 
theres too many power newbies now, posting like maniacs. Smiteth thee! *ps some1 change my tag to Approves of Breeding The shame has gone on long enough! :p *

I want a new tag. One that lets people know how awesome I am, or something along those lines.

I think "my bitch is better than your bitch" suits bacon quite well :p
