"Gentlemen BEHOLD!" (impersonation of ATHF intro...)
My first Official Sig, showing off my interests a nutshell...

ngtm1r,
For better pics of it go to Robotech thread, it's been in game for about 2 months now.
Trashman made it.

NO image is so awesome that people should have to look at it every single frelling time you post.
If you want people to pay attention to your posts, do it by being interesting. If you think that's beyond you... well, I guess an attention-whore image sig is the way to go. Make sure you animate it too. And include a scantily-clad anime chick.

simple and attractive :D

Soooo, since the function of a sig is to tell people something about yourself, I guess we're to conclude that you can't spell "wrath", and... you want to be a woman.

You should put that in your sig here.
Use the 'lvlshot' tags.

To you it may be all about attention getting. To me it's about personal expression also at a glance people aware of what they represent can see what I am into (namely Old Skool Anime, Robotech, Gundam, and modding FS2).
As for porn, unless it's hardcore it's a waste of my time to look. :P
Plus we don't use image sigs here (just links) so what was with the immediate hostile like response? You don't HAVE to clik on a sig if you don't want to see it (unlike 90% of the internet)...

Where is that "people who use sigpics are attention whores by default" image.....

The two are, of course, not at all mutually exclusive. Image sigs aren't simply announcing your interests, they're shoving it down people's throats every single time you post. I've been to boards where the signal-to-noise ratio from all the oversized avatars and sigs is so high that you can barely pick out the individual messages at all. If you really think anybody cares what your interests are (which, I hate to break it to you, most people do not), then put a link in your sig.
As for hyperlinking to sigs-- that's just surreal. If you're going to hyperlink to something, why not a full page? The entire point of an image sig is to compress your "personal expression" into a space just small enough to avoid getting banned. With an offsite link, no such restriction exists.

I think that sig about Alizee qualifies for the attention sig (and I thought Tiara's avatar iof light shining on her rear profile was bad enuff ;) ) "Shake that money maker!" (oops!)
Anyway I have been online (meaning net) close to 8 years now (not including BBS era) so I just wanted to show the kids I am getting a tiny bit caught up with my net use (what doesn't everyone have a sig these days?)
Parody mode on...
A new T-shirt suggestion GOT SIG? (TM)
:lol:
* Note Got Sig?(TM) Is a registered Trademark of Star Dragon's sig#2 (WIP)....
Parody mode off...

-
that little guy's 'little guy' is dangling in your sig... SD. :p

There's a special hell for people who do that, called definately never ever coming back. I really hate sig images.
