I didn't understand what you were referring for a while. And i still don't know who specifically. try to expand on what you're saying here.

Look at tkinney. He was a good poster here. He wanted a new thread, and now he's left this topic because, in his opinion, the ASM was turning to shit.
He has been here for ages, he was there making awesome sigs when I was still improving on mine, since I was an ASM regular.
And he knows more about this club than alot of people - more than you, I expect.

And by "their" I do mean to emply that they are among the "owners" of this thread,

Nobody really is an owner of this thread, unless you count the topic starter. I can see what you mean though.

they make some of the best sigs in here every day and some guys who just see statistics ("its too big, it has too many posts") think that it needs to be killed off for no good reason.

You make some good points, however, you appear to be getting the wrong idea. I can't be bothered to explain why a new thread is being made, because there are many reasons, and they have already been discussed. "its too big, it has too many posts" is not the reason, don't jump to conclusions.

Would you cooperate if someone wanted to kill of newgrounds?

And create a new Newgrounds that was better. yes.

Because this topic of a large part of newgrounds is to them.

It used to be to me too, however, this topic is not being killed off, it's being remade.

-

I must say, the proposition of locking the ASM is becoming less and less of a good idea for me.
I propose the new thread is made, however, I think the locking of the ASM should be postponed until we're all sure we really do want it's lock.

There's no time limit here, so let's not be hasty.

go on AIM. i want to talk to you. As an old ASM/SSM member i want an active part in what's going on and feel it would be best to speak with you about it.

i disagree, this thread along with every other current sig making thread should be locked.
ASM, BSM, goddess sigs, elite sig makers, etc. etc.
should all be locked..
and ive been saying this for a long time.
for the moment, the one sig thread would be perfect..
and in time, a second tier..
and no more!

where does everyone get their pics from? Google images is pretty shit if you want a certain image, nd picsearch sucks my balls.

gumonshoe, include http://www.myspace.com/NGsigmakers in first post.
its myspace because it can be easily modified to look good like mine. and has lots of features that would be good for the club.. like the image gallery..
it would also be useful for updates as the first post is static and cant be changed..
having this in the first post will ensure that any changes can be made public forever..
as myspace will be more constant then using a silly free hosting site that could disapere at any time..
the possiblities with it are endless and i think it would be a positive thing..

..or not whatever..

depends what sort of pictures..
actually searching google rather then images can be more fruitful..
also can find lots of quality fanart and just general cool stuff at art sites like www.deviantart.com
learning how to search is important..
if you dont know your keywords it doesnt matter what you try.. you wont find anything.

How did you find the guy in your sig? I have been wondering the same question as i search stuff like what people ask for and can't find anything then check back and TB or someone posts an awesome kick ass sig with a decent picture of EXACTLY what they wanted.

Added it to the first post. Thanks for the idea! A Myspace site also has the advantage of people not from Newgrounds getting interested.

i didnt, i think MrPope made this sig.
i wish i had the original image because i would like to use it all my sigs from this point on..
but he never told me, which is his right i guess.

decent picture of EXACTLY what they wanted.

also, some people request pictures that just dont exist..
if you find a picture of something similar that you think will look kick ass then use it..
or if you find exactly what they want, but it doesnt work for you.. then dont use it.

You never asked, I'd happily link you to it if I could remember it, but I'm pretty sure it was in the Fan Art section of DevArt.

I must of typed in something like "angry" or "mad", I'll have a look later.

lolz easy

Google usually comes up with whatever I want, I don't have any problems with it's image search. The line I take is: if I can't find it on google images, then it's unlikely I'll find it anywhere else, unless I know the picture I'm searching for definitely exist.

Most pictures I use are ones I have randomly come across, and thought "ooo, that would look good in my sig".

Obviously, it's harder when you're trying to find one specifically for someone else.

omg thank you, your awesome.

ohsnap, I has a request.

Could someone with an animating program take my sig and get rid of that horrible green tinge it has. It was supposed to be the same colour as the NG background, but because the sig is the gif, the colour isn't identical

Therefore, could someone turn the background transparent, whilst leaving everything else the way it is? If you have fireworks, I can show you how.

thanks

should be, but probably isnt, better!

You sort of destroyed the black border, but i'll wear it anyways. If you could put the black border back in, that would be better. Nevertheless, thanks for your help! I appreciate it.

Can anyone make me a sig with a mario and a bowser 1 on each side with my name between them just make it look that they are gonna fight thx

http://www.newground..s/topic.php?id=99426

Lots of updates added.

What I need to know is: should people be able to post art that's not related to sigs?

i approve, lets just hope people actually read it.
its well laid out and subheadings are good..
so it should work.

What I need to know is: should people be able to post art that's not related to sigs?

yes, people should also be able to request:
-profile pics
-website banners
-logos
-psp backgrounds
etc.

but only on a request basis..
if you just want to show off non-signiture stuff there is the "newgrounds artist showcase"

I'm talking to BBM on msn and he seems to have some quarrels with the extent that you have overblown his whole idea.

Hold your horses fellas. We need his output before much more is discussed.

Ok, I disagree with the following bit of the first post:

If you are doing someone's request PM them and post in the thread that you are doing the signature.

So people don't blame Dave that a bit of the first post is taken out, here is the chat logs explaining why I think this.

[15:31] BananaBMuffin: Don't PM them, and don't post in the thread that you are
[15:31] CrazyMuffin: Umm why?
[15:32] BananaBMuffin: well
[15:32] BananaBMuffin: They're requesting a sig
[15:32] BananaBMuffin: the onus should be on them to find their sig amongst the posts
[15:32] BananaBMuffin: assuming it's as busy as the ASM is now, we shouldn't have to waste time PMing people, especially if we've taken the request from a request list or whatever
[15:32] BananaBMuffin: and we shouldnt post in the thread, because that just generates spam
[15:33] BananaBMuffin: if two people make sigs, two people have made sigs, and thats the end of that
[15:34] BananaBMuffin: i dont think we should post two things:
[15:34] BananaBMuffin: "I am doing this request"
[15:34] BananaBMuffin: "I have done this request"
[15:34] BananaBMuffin: that's two posts when one would suffice.
[15:34] BananaBMuffin: one more post to sift through when you're looking for requests
[15:34] BananaBMuffin: one more post for a requestee to sift through when looking to see if their sig is made

Attention, ASM: Dave doens't want any hissy fits at him. lollerz

i somewhat agree as ive already posted, however..
he is saying PMs.. not posts.. so it doesnt effect finding requests..
the rest, i agree.

I'm a lazy shit.

Yeah, PMing when you've finished is fine. Just as I have no qualms about making sigs for people who are on the red list, provided they haven't done anything to me personally.

BBM is a turd burgler.

someone think of a sig maker's slogan.

Why does everyone think ASM is going down!? Its been running for a while every since that topic came up.

Hm, I thought this might have been locked by the time I got back.
Meh, wonder who will get the last sig of the thread :P

The new thread is called the NEWGROUNDS SIG MAKERS

THIS THREAD HAS FINISHED. THIS HAS BEEN DECIDED BY THE MOST PROMINENT SIG MAKERS OF THIS THREAD. THERE IS NO MORE TO THIS THREAD.

The time has come for this fine thread to end. I have been given the honour of writing the closing post, to this mighty thread. The ASM is no more. The last sig has been sigged. The last brush has been stamped. But its spirit will live on in the new thread. The Newgrounds Sig Makers will retain the "anyone can make, anyone can request" ethos that has carried this thread to great heights.

This thread is being locked for one main reason. Spam.
Spam plagues the rest of the BBS as well, but no thread has been quite as burdened as the ASM has. People use the ASM as an excuse to get postcount + 1. People abused this thread.

There is a lesson to be learnt here. I'm not telling you what it is, or you won't have learnt it. But god damn, it's an important one, and hopefully the new thread will fix it. Be sure to read the new rules and guidelines when going to the new sig.

FAREWELL, THOUGH YOUR BODY IS DEAD, YOUR SPIRIT SHALL LIVE ON IN THE NGSM

</crap>

Any post after this will be deleted.

The new thread is called the NEWGROUNDS SIG MAKERS

/end Amature Sig Makers.
