Title: Avatar/Signature Proposal Thread
Post by: James Gryphon on September 21, 2011, 12:09:58 AM
I assume all of y'all know that I have neither an avatar nor a signature -- and am probably the only posting member to do so.

I don't expect I'll get either one soon; I like being unique in that respect, but if I was to get a signature and/or an avatar, what do you imagine it'd be like? Feel free to propose your suggestions for a hypothetical signature or avatar for me, as well. ;)

Your signature:

"Hello!"

Your catch phrase thing:

"I get a catch phrase!"

And your profile picture should be something you like. Something like:

A favorite book,
(http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSSPRyh0HBS4YRkJKD903JQrFgSDPGKEwMeuSaPuWd6orEiI36g5g)

a favorite character:,

a favorite color,

a favorite place,

or a taco:

The taco. Definitely the taco.

Yeah, the taco is awesome. James, you know you want the taco.

Zelda (or whatever that proud beauty is called) is really pretty. But I can't see James Gryphon having that as his avatar. :D

Taco for the win! :D

Too late! I'm going to use that one.

I have another idea:

Mouse Guard!

Or:
The Mouse Knight!

I love Mouse Guard!

But I still vote for the taco. ;)

Go with the mouse guard James.  Fits the mod position well.  ;)

Exactly. He said:

The mouse is cool, but if you want to be unique, then go with something different. Something nobody would expect.

How about a goofy pic of a gryphon holding/eating a taco? I don't have a picture, but that might be cool. Or a gryphon with a taco head, either's fine.

That's a Gryphon, right? Yeah, I think that's the perfect profile picture for James. ;D

The Gryphon is perfect!!!! James, please use it!
Title: Re: Avatar/Signature Proposal Thread
Post by: Coobreedan on September 22, 2011, 06:47:50 PM
He's having the Gryphon for sure. If he doesn't, then I'll have something to say about that.

His signature should be:

Fhaoreah zegnaruas rugar noplaia. Grouenargens arr sennia Gryphon.

It means:

Lord of his own mind. The amazing Gryphon.

I forgot what language it was in though. I just remembered it when I saw that picture!

Post by: Taggerung_of_Redwall on September 22, 2011, 09:36:34 PM
Which brings up an obvious question. What is his name's origin and what does it mean?

Since this is the Cellars, y'all are free to speculate on that for a while too. ;)

The Gryphon picture is nice, by the way. I'm not sure I would use that specific one, but nevertheless something like it wouldn't be out of the question.
Title: Re: Avatar/Signature Proposal Thread
Post by: DanielofRedwall on September 23, 2011, 09:55:16 AM
I'm guessing it's just his name...?
Title: Re: Avatar/Signature Proposal Thread
Post by: Nightfire on September 23, 2011, 02:44:35 PM
I'm guessing that James is his real name. But Gryphon probably signifies his personality. Or it could just be his favorite animal.
Title: Re: Avatar/Signature Proposal Thread
Post by: Redwall Musician on September 23, 2011, 04:09:45 PM
I at first thought it was his real name *blushes*. I'm guessing he took his first name and added it to a favorite animal or an animal he wants to be.
Title: Re: Avatar/Signature Proposal Thread
Post by: Nightfire on September 23, 2011, 04:16:32 PM
James, why don't you use thy Gryphon picture?
Title: Re: Avatar/Signature Proposal Thread
Post by: Coobreedan on September 23, 2011, 04:23:20 PM
I thought it was his real name too.
Title: Re: Avatar/Signature Proposal Thread
Post by: James Gryphon on September 23, 2011, 11:43:40 PM
Those aren't bad guesses, but they're not quite dead-on.

James actually is my first name (although it isn't the name that I'm usually called by; my middle name has that honor), but Gryphon has a slightly different origin -- it's not entirely made-up. It is taken from the mythical creature, but it's a spelling variant of "Griffin", which is my mother's maiden name. It's the pseudonym I normally use, now, when I'm online.

And while I like the picture, I'm not sure I'll use that specific one -- besides, I do like being the only member (or moderator, for that matter) without an avatar, and that's special too. ;)

Although sometimes I accidentally skip over what you've posted, because the lack of a profile picture tricks my eyes into seeing nothing. ::)

You don't need a profile picture to tell it's me... just look out for the inevitable wall of text.

Make note, everyone, the forum has just passed into a new age. The unprecedented has happened, and, well, kind of ironic to say, nothing will be the same.

If one of you can draw a gryphon carrying a taco in one of its claws, I'll give the idea of using it for an avatar serious consideration. ;)
Title: Re: Avatar/Signature Proposal Thread
Post by: Nightfire on October 12, 2011, 05:39:53 PM
Although the lastest fad has been putting a picture into your signature as well. So do a Gryphon as your signature picture, and a taco as your profile picture! :)
