There was a long time where the only way to get to the internet was via a university account (assuming your university was connected), so if you had friends on different networks like Prodigy, GEnie, Compuserve, or AOL, you had to get accounts on each network.Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-40540142710477218052010-07-15T03:02:41.633+02:002010-07-15T03:02:41.633+02:00My Favourite that I saw - even though I am not a m...My Favourite that I saw - even though I am not a mage is " Mage leveling is very irish Fight, Drink, Fight, Drink, Fight, Drink, Fight, Drink <br /><br />My signatures are usally song lyrics/poems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-74976011660910328442010-07-14T21:19:14.671+02:002010-07-14T21:19:14.671+02:00My favorite sigs are the ones that unified a group...My favorite sigs are the ones that unified a group, such as classes.

Thank's for sharing!<br /><br />@Brian Psychochild Green: thanks for sharing more signature history! I suppose the evolution is going on. I wonder what the future will look like.<br /><br />My impression is that signatures are moving towards connecting/marketing other channels for your online presence, such as your blog, your twitter, your Facebook page etc. Although not that much seen in the WoW forums. Maybe we care about our privacy there? I've decided against marketing my blog that way, not to tempt the trolls to come and visit me.<br /><br />@Spinksville: hm. Am I the only one of my generation not to have participated in usenet?<br /><br />@Dallanna & Mangara: Cool, thanks for sharing!<br /><br />@Perdissa: It's a dilemma isn't it? In one way variation is great - in antoher way - since they're a marker for identification, maybe you want to stick to one and become recognized by it?<br /><br />@Pangoria Fallstar: That sounds suitable!<br /><br />@Dwism: a mana-holic DK? Slacker! Now get inspiration here and find something appropriate!<br /><br />@Valdu: there's an entire little story there. Thanks for sharing. And yeah, I find signatures where you list all your characters rather boring. I suppose they can serve a purpose if you're trying to make a point about somthing and want to show that you know what you're talking about since you're such an experienced player playing this and this and this class... But still. And besides: the pain to keep it updated as you level your chars! Why bother?<br /><br />@Timefortincan: I grew up with Tom Lehrer! My father was crazy about him. That quote... could it come from the same as: "Not only did she do them wrong. She had everyone of them let in let in"?<br />Nasty little girl there...Larísahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05769822260333419777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-48978814740857793252010-07-14T13:40:12.404+02:002010-07-14T13:40:12.404+02:00Never had a signature, they are waste of space.
