    this is getting quite personal... i think we should all agree that cloudboii is wrong and move on with our lives.

    Fuck this, how am I "wrong"?
    I just said I didn't like the themes :S
    I then suggested my own.
    Jeez, whatever I did to piss you guys off, I'm sorry :S

    can I slip a word here?
    both of you are wrong
    Cloudboi here doesn't know how hard it is to give a good theme EVERY week
    and Equity somehow doesn't know that Cloudboii doesn't realize that
    so to solve everything, I say this board gets locked (or someone is going to get killed) til summer where the participation will be at its peak
    or you could give more time to users, instead of just 1 week, give them 2 weeks

    and that is all

    Fixed :)

    Er, I do understand how hard it is to get a good theme, and that's why I made a suggestion thread.
    I understand the fact that he's trying to do something original and different, but he needs to understand some people just don't like it very unique.
    Sometimes people don't want to think deeply about their theme, they just want to make a signature and have fun with it!

    I know!
    But people want to have fun!
    You don't have a Pokemon Competition for the LULZ of beating a n00b with a LV100 Uber team with Limbo's, you play for the fun, as well as the win.
    You catch my drift?

    Natewlie A bag of tricks

    Most of your themes you suggested were emotions, you'd seriously have to think about those themes. Part of the fun for competitions is the challenge in it, people join competitions because of the competition and the challenge involve, that's fun for them.

    Also, why not artistic styles as themes? Like vector, hand drawn, or something similar? Is it too difficult? I'm sure most of the people who make sigs in the SOTW will know what they are, and new people don't really enter the SotW anyways.

    the whole problem is that cloudboii does not understand and no matter how many times i say he still doesn't get it.

    he wants me to please him but sadly i have to try to please everybody. if i give themes/renders at Cboii's level the more advanced members moan its to easy or all the sigs look the same with no creativity.
    if i up the level then people like Cboii moan.

    the trick that he nor others have learnt is that its not about entering only when its a theme you like or can do its just entering for the hell of it, trying new things and having a go.

    but don't worry the week coming back will be an easy one.

    That would be quite fun!

    Jeez, sorry Equity >.<"
    I must sound like a really whiny biatch right now x3
    I get where you're coming from.
    But that's the problem, if it's too hard, amateurs (read: I) find it very hard to compete - I haven't even received one vote yet :3
    But if it's too easy, a) "pros" will take the lead to easily, or, b) "pros" will just not enter completely, resulting in 15 nubz' artwork.

    i told you its not about how many votes you get its a way of experiencing making sigs you'd normally not do yourself and advance your skills.

    the voting and winning is just a bonus and a goal to reach for

    but as with all things in this world you need to put effort in to get the result you want

    Woa there was a heat argument...

    This theme should work: Sprite (Sprite game renders)

    I wouldn't mind trying to create a pixel art sig.

    Yeah Game Sprite Renders can be cool if you make a point in it to make the focal and sense... example.
