...thirty other people showing up and making jokes to stretch out the topic to three pages is not exactly the same thing as the OP being stubborn
Oh, word, but I'd say that editing EVERY SINGLE POST you make to add a sig after being told we don't do those here is definitely the same thing as the OP being stubborn.

^ this.
It's pretty much the response I was going to give LockeZ, I appreciate you covering that for me Sooz. Though I will add, the first page was almost all just people saying that RMN neither does nor indeed intends to do signatures again for various reasons (and a visual trip down memory lane). The jokes only started after Xand went and did his mass 'I don't care what the rules are' edit and was slapped down for it by Liberty.
I always thought his name was XAnd (the logic gate. eXtended And, I think?)
Huh, I couldn't understand the character. I mean, I don't see neither 'man' nor 'fire' in the symbol he used as his avatar. As far as I'm concerned, it's something closer to 'rain' and 'five'.
Granted that I don't know kanji that much yet, but...
Yeah. Just dropped by to say that. Byeeeeeeee. *flies away*

As you can see in my first post in this topic I asked:
"Why there is no option to add signature on most other forums are signatures.Will this change in future?"
I didn't try to force anyone to do it I was just asking if this will be changing.
I was asking if there would be automatic signature added by forum and I didn't know that signatures are not allowed on the forum (since I never encountered on other forums that signatures are forbidden I didn't have a reason to think so) I believe (although I am not sure) I added signatures before this topic I wanted to ask if there will be automatic signatures added by the forum and I didn't know they are not allowed.I have only about less than ten posts it is not I have added it thousands of times.And after Liberty edited my posts I removed what was left of signature.
I don't understand why I would need to be someone important for feature requests I simply wanted to make the site better if you don't like my suggestions I will respect that.I don't think my posts are meaningless they are etymology and possible meaning of names from games or languages.
Font size has only three options big, normal and small there is no option like in Wordpad to select other sizes as well.
Karins_soulkeeper Xand is derived from Xander from Alexander (Ancient Greek alexo -to defend + aner, andros -man).
My avatar Chinese character means light (guang) and upper part with horizontal line is fire (huo) but it is slightly different than normal character for fire and lower part is pictograph of legs, person (er), person carrying fire hence light.

Actually, you added your signature to your posts after kentona had posted his images of the old forums (I'd been watching the topic and they weren't there originally), that is well after you were already told no and had it explained as to why. That was why I edited your posts - because I'd already said in my post before you edited in the signatures what I would do if someone did what you ended up doing. From my point of view, and others, you just ignored what you'd been told and did it anyway.
You automatically get notices each time someone posts in a topic you create (unless you unsubscribe from that topic - but by default that feature is on) so you are not likely to have missed it as the black bar at the top notifies you of such.
You don't need to be anyone special, just a member, to recommend a change but it had already been explained before in the thread why that particular change was not going to happen.
As for font sizes, you can change those manually. Highlight the text you want to change, pick one of the text size options, then change the number after the "=" to the size you want. It allows for more flexibility.
Be warned, if you change your sign-off to a larger size I will edit it to size 1. That's more than obnoxious enough as it is, thank you.

You can change the size by editing the number in the code.

author=XandYou didn't try to force anything but you didn't just ask. You asked, then asked, then asked again all the while being told NO again, and again, then again. What's the etymology of the word NO?
I didn't try to force anyone to do it I was just asking if this will be changing.
I simply wanted to make the site better if you don't like my suggestions I will respect that.What you're suggesting doesn't make the site better and you didn't respect anything, which is apparent in your response to this whole thing. If you really intended to respect that you would have dropped this idea the first time you were shot down.
I don't think my posts are meaningless they are etymology and possible meaning of names from games or languages.Possible meanings. Most of what is written in there is nonsense because the person who made up those words probably didn't research ancient etymology. They just made up random words for their games/shows/whatever. But hey, you're free to post whatever you want. Just like I'm free to think it's pointless.
OK, sorry I will try to be more careful next time.

Probably because the topics were created before the topic subscription thing.
fuck what a pain in the ass to scroll through those posts

Look in my previous post which is updated now with etymology explanation that some do actually have meanings.
Oh and etymology of no, not, nein, yes, ja:
No from Old English na (ne -no + a -ever)
Not from Old English nowiht (na -no + wiht -thing)
Nein (German) from Old High German (ni -not + ein -one)
Yes, Ja -yes (German) from Old English gyse (gea -so + sie -may it be), cognate is Lat. iam -already

Please don't. Yes, I put it in hide tags (and will do so again) because it's off-topic and annoying outside of the topic where it's supposed to be. We don't need an example.
BTW, what's the etymology of obnoxious? Don't post it here but please do take the hint.

I like how you ignore the most obvious option (that these made-up names don't have any particular "etymology" beyond "this sounds good" or maybe "this sounds like a common word"*) in favor of a bunch of pointless and occasionally really forced "explanations."**
Also the fact that you assume they're all based on Greek/Latin is hilarious.
Also also the fact that you're trying to make your image into one of Alexander the Great bringing light to the darkness of people who don't know your made-up linguistic garbage.
You are not nearly as smart as you think you are. Grow some humility.
*Seriously, "Perditia" doesn't NEED any Latin source, because English has a common word that makes for a much more likely source.
**OH MY GOD you are trying WAAAAAYYYYY too hard in examples like the Cardassian one!

Signing your name at the end of your posts followed by some text in another language is obnoxious.

You know.. maybe if you ask nicely and remove the characters at the end of your post, kentona might consider adding the characters as your title (under your avatar). Or you could donate to the site and do it yourself. It'd be less obnoxious than the sign-off (which really isn't needed on a site where you name is literally right next to every post you make).

I choose name Xand as something short and with meaning I didn't have intention to link my name with Greek words alexo -to defend and aner, andros -man or Alexander the Great it is only coincidence.
And my avatar I choose Chinese character for light because it look nice and simple and word light was OK.
About notifications do they send user message every time someone posts in their topic?I think that is not necessary as someone who regularly visits the site would be able to see it but administrators could make that notifications automatically turn on if user doesn't visit forum in two weeks.
Liberty word obnoxious have something to do with harm (Latin).

Okay Xand, buddy, you're giving off serious vibes that you live and breathe for this etymology stuff. By chance, are you working on a game or anything?
