^Morn's sig. Sorry, Photobucket's down at the moment, so you have to have it on tinypic...snrk. If you want different text, that's fine. *ponders* I don't quite like the background. Who's the old guy? Heh...can you clear the clutter a little?

Who's the old guy? Heh...can you clear the clutter a little? ...Not really. The old guy... is a random old guy. Understand I can't edit signature backgrounds much. They're cluttered because that's my style. I can black out the people on the other side, but that's it. I DO put a lot of effort into my signatures. I forgot, this was why I didn't make sigs for you. Go get yourself a better sig, then.

I'm sorry I asked for some editing? It's your style, but I asked for something slightly specific, just like everyone is supposed to be able to do on this thread, and didn't quite get it, and asked you the artist to aid me in getting closer to my plan. No personal bashing required.

You gave a general idea of what you wanted, yes. But the style I work with highly limits what I can do. You didn't specify in your original post that you wanted an uncluttered signature. You said you wanted a signature with a guy in a dark alley.
(shrugs)
As I said. I can edit out the people on the side and entirely black it out. That's about it.
I was in a bad mood that day, and you didn't help. And... um... YOU haven't conflicted. It's more a matter of "you", eh?

I'd like to request a new siggy. In the background you see Lox from FF7AC and his brother, I can't think of his name right off the bat, but they stand next to each other and the text says: "Why do you want Jenova's friggin head? I will not have you refer to Mother that way. You MEANIE!"

And... um... YOU haven't conflicted. It's more a matter of "you", eh? Does that mean me? 'Me'? Erm... I suggest simply clearing the old guy out if he is undesirable. The rest is pretty much what Morndakiel wanted.

Tiana, if you can't do it, just tell Cy you can't do it. I'm sure there is someone else that is willing to. There's really no point in hurting feelings.
If I make a sig and someone doesn't quite like it, I either try to fix it, tell them I can't, or I just give them the option of asking someone else.
What's been wrong lately? You haven't been yourself.

Hey I want a FF7AC siggy with the pics I uploaded in the FF7AC pics thread. It should have Yuffie in the background and more Yuffie in the front ground. Text: "When you're sleeping i'll *whispers:* steal your materia..." What? *yells:*"Steal your materia! Oops." ((Use and this one plz.))

And... um... YOU haven't conflicted. It's more a matter of "you", eh? Does that mean me? 'Me'? Erm... I suggest simply clearing the old guy out if he is undesirable. The rest is pretty much what Morndakiel wanted. (sheepishly) I've done two other sigs for you/Cy in the past, and each time I've done more than one edit. It sort of gets on my nerves. (you may feel free to edit that sentence out) Understand I had been dissed a lot that day for other things, and Morn's comment just snapped me, so I had to yell at someone. It wasn't an out of character comment, I suppose the smiley made it seem that way... but I made the post at the library with limited time to make myself seem less condensending. I have absolutely no problem with removing the old guy, but Morn didn't ask. Morn said the signature looked "cluttered". Had it been a specific edit request "take out the old guy", or heck, even "I don't like it at all, can you redo it", it would've been less snappy for me. But it was an ambigious statement that left me with no real options. See, this is how I make signatures. "make base. Merge layers. Come up with a few more people. Use the texture fill tool to get interesting effect in merging them rather than a tacky transparency, as it's the only way I can slightly mimic the merging style I like". This basically means that the end result, for me to remove and change a small part of it, means I have to go back down to the original base and entirely redo the signature. Sometimes I'm lucky and have multiple layers saved (I usually do), and then I only have to redo PART. I had one person request females on a signature I did with a couple guys on it. To redo it, I had to find the texture base and then orangaize it all awkwardly and figure out where each layer went to redo the same effect. In essence, it took as long as doing a brand new signature. As I said. I can black out the people on the side, no problem. But there really is no way I can declutter the alley. Morn said "I don't like the background". The background is the entire SIGNATURE. Of course other people are willing to. I KNOW that. That was WHY I did the bloody signature. Because I have no other use on this site, beyond sticking things into the headers every now and again. People don't need me anymore. I've pretty much abandoned MEI, and no one's noticed. I gave the option of removing the people on the side. That's all I can do to fix it. I can post the alley picture if Morn wants someone else to do it. But, really, who's feelings were hurt? Mine, not hers. I make occasional efforts on here, and what I get in reply? "What? I can't find anything now!!" "Ew, who changed the skin?" "Why is everyone fighting?!" "I don't like it/can't use it/can you change my personal title?" "I wanna be a moderator!" "*flames people*" "*can't spell worth tuppence*" "Did you see what they were posting in the Hello thread?" The only reason I still EXIST on this site is because I have access to the main admin account. Because I can set staff powers. That's it. I'm no longer essential, at ALL, to this site's running. That's why I've been acting different. Because I've been shoved to the role of oppressive and scary moderator who isn't allowed to join in discussions without people suddenly throwing wary glances at the thread and thinking "Oh, crud, we're in trouble now". Because the last time I PMed someone back on here, it was to reply to "Is there a way I can change my personal title"/"Can you make me a new RPG board?"/"What happened to Barney?"/"Can you give me my trials?"/"Someone put mean text in the headers. Can you take it out?" Can anyone even remotely see where I'm coming from? I make vague efforts to post occasionally, and people worry that I'm going to lock their thread. I try to actually make some effort to be of use, and I don't even get some remote "it's okay". I haven't been myself because I'm not myself. I used to come here as an escape from reality. And now it's more pressuring than reality. I'm not even a bloody member-remotely-appreciated anymore. I'm "the admin". You know what? That freaking sucks.

*ph34r the random guest hug of doom*
*hugs*
I didn't want to log in, because I've been logged into stuff too long today, so I'll say what I have to say... as a guest.
Yes, it does. I keep trying to type stuff that makes sense and doesn't sound like I'm flaming someone ((I've even managed to flame myself in the last six minutes)), but it's not working. I can't understand where you're coming from, Tiana, because I've never been in your position. If it helps at all, I do understand a little... the annoying PMs (('cause I do get those, every now and then)), annoying people in general who suck up to you because they want to get something out of it. Never to the extent of what you've described, because, as you've pointed out elsewhere, I don't really count as an administrator. I mean, honestly, what do I do around here? I fixed a header, once. *waves hands around* Go me.
What you don't realize is how much people like me look up to you. I realize, at this point, that's not what you want to hear, but I'm going to say it anyway. I look up to you because you're immensely talented, and you have a heart. If you didn't come out and yell at us idiots who don't realize that people have feelings, I honestly don't think I'd like you as much. As you are, however, you rock. You're honestly the only person that I know that can come out like you just did and say "I'm tired of it, and I don't care if you're offended." That's solid.
And, hey, on a totally random note, once upon a time you were wrong. You told me that if I ever managed access to Photoshop or something like it that I'd be able to make sigs as well as you. I've had Photoshop for a while, and I still suck. *grins* Every now and again I get lucky, but I won't ever have the artistic eye that you do. Went through your random photobucket sig-folder thing, and was amazed.
So, the short and long of the thing is.... I dunno. Like I said -- my expression of feelings is... poor. I can't get out what I'm thinking, so I hope you got my drift or whatever what I've already said. You're cool. *nods*

... I thought that drove people up the wall. Maybe you're just unique. I hate to say it, but at the moment, Dun, you're actually "least likely on MEI to ever annoy me". Honestly. Even JOAN annoys me more than you do, most of the time. And I like Joan. And, you're right, that's not what I want to hear. It drives me up the wall that people look up to me, and I can TELL. I mean, it's okay to have people appreciate me, but I'm the leader now... a leader in a site that's now a democrocy. I don't have a place here anymore. A heart? I come out and yell at people. Shamelessly. In RL, I'm more... yeah. Well, I'm vocal then too. I do get your drift, more or less. Bah. I've loved some of your sigs. I couldn't have done them. Just... please don't use the watercolor type filters on a sig. Yeesh. They rarely work. I know I'm a decent artist... a lot of people agree on that... (some don't... X-( ;; But a lot of Photoshop users who know what an artist comfortably can do think I'm incredible for a cheap program user) The artistic eye comes with 2 years of trial and error (go look in mom's photobucket at my early sigs... remember Jandalf's first sig...? ;D Or, heck, the first sig I did you?). You'll gain it sooner or later. Really? I love your sigs, most of the time... Yes, I get your drift-thinger. Morn: And one for me. Or whoever. I don't know. I may or may not use it. And a little help: I was told this signature was horrible on Jedi.net because it was simple... And this is my sig and I feel like making this post more on topic and posting it.

Oops. I just highlighted this post, because I've been writing it long enough that I knew the virus on my computer would eat it, but instead of pressing ctrl c, like I'd planned, I hit ctrl v. Bye bye post. So, I pretty much said.... umm..... Heh. Which is why the watercolor debut died with that particular sig. *grins* P'raps. I suppose, because I look at things with logic, instead of emotion most of the time, the way different people handle things makes more sense to me. *shrugs* Sometimes my logic gets screwed, because I can't say the things that people who are more... emotional (dzang, I hate that word) can say things. There's a lot of stuff that I literally can't say. It's not that I'm afraid of offending people - goodness knows, I've got no problem with that. The whole logical part of my mind just blocks that sort of emotional stuff, I guess. Righto. And for the whole reason I had to rewrite this stupid post -- 'nother FF sig. Reason I'm posting it is because this is the first sig that I've actually been happy about the way the text turned out...

Um... okay, fine, DON'T log me in. I'm Tiana, okay? Okay! I have to dock points on that sig, Dun, for legability. Make the "es" in "despair" a different color, or SOMETHING, but I could barely tell what it said by knowing the ending letters... sigh. It's not a bad looking sig, though. And... yes... I'm an "emotional" person. No sense of logic. Well, no. I have a sense of logic when I'm not going all "AHHHHHHHHH!!!" I'm very good at understanding other POVs. Just... yeah. I'm one of those overly emotional people. Love me! XP. I say a lot of stupid things because I didn't turn out right like you or Jandalf... :/

I'm sorry I've irked you about sigs. [The only reason I still EXIST on this site is because I have access to the main admin account. Because I can set staff powers. That's it. I'm no longer essential, at ALL, to this site's running. I'd say that people PMing you with administration things all the time sure means you're useful! I mean who else could answer the questions? Maybe you've been too stressed about that and have not acted very member-like. I mean, your sn says 'Tiana the Admin' basically. You've taken responsibility on yourself. I'm sorry if I've made it more difficult. I respect you immensely and lately you 'haven't been yourself', and from what I hear it is a ciclical (sp[? circular?) problem in your own emotions. Please don't take any of this as bashing-- No one should ever assume that having no emotions is more right than having lots. I'll leave that there.

Could a sigavyaru (see the Me:I dictionary on the meaningless board) make me a sig with Angel pics, from the new x-men movie? With at least one of him with wings outstretched or in flight or something.
