A change in general NS signature attitude.

Postby Unnamed island state » Thu Oct 29, 2015 5:00 pm

I've noticed that I the last few months people have made their signatures much more plain. There is less color, less strange motifs, less pompous statements....

What does mean? Is what I ask nsg on this day. Why have people's signatures become so humble?

Perhaps this a sign that the world is becoming a nice and harmonious place! :hug:

What does this have to do with... anything?
For anyone wondering, I joined this website during my edgy teenage years. I made a lot of dumb, awkward posts, flip-flopped between various extreme ideologies, and just generally embarrassed myself. I denounce a sizable amount of my past posts. I am no longer active on NationStates and this nation/account is no longer used.

It counts as a thread.

If you want further evidence observe how Merizoc's signature has lost its color and the bold term "anarcho-primitivist".

Also, I've noticed that in the last few months people have started a lot of irrelevant threads.

No, it doesn't count as a thread. It needs to have a legitimate topic of discussion and follow the OP guidelines.

No, it's as acrimonious as ever. I still see plenty of flashy sigs.
I want to make mine flashier, really.
The United Colonies of Earth exists:
to encourage settlement of all habitable worlds in the Galaxy and perhaps the Universe by the human race;
to ensure that human rights are respected, with force if necessary, and that all nations recognize the inevitable and unalienable rights of all human beings regardless of their individual and harmless differences, or Idiosyncrasies;
to represent the interests of all humankind to other sapient species;
to protect all humanity and its’ colonies from unneeded violence or danger;
to promote technological advancement and scientific achievement for the happiness, knowledge and welfare of all humans;
and to facilitate cooperation in the spheres of law, transportation, communication, and measurement between nation-states.

It does have a legitimate topic man, "ns signature patterns".

Hmm. Perhaps it is apart of the broader, anti-postmodernist movement.

I think he still does. It's just not so prominently displayed.

I thought people recognized that some things do meaningfully exist before the antipostmodernists showed up.
