Yeah I remember DFS coming about around the time that I quit.

As for history.. Well, I remember quite a bit because I always asked Jedi about it, but a lot of the names of artists tend to escape me. I remember a few distinct periods, however.

2007 - When I started making signatures. Before this, the only history I know of is that signatures used to primarily be one liners with various symbols in them, and wavy signatures had just started coming about.

Most signatures were simple waves that were 2 lines, but 4 liners had just started to become more popular.

2009 - New age signatures. A lot more artists started to come in and come up with their own designs. Competitions for the 'best' signatures came about, with people arguing who had the better styles. There was a slight divide between older artists, who preferred bigger, wavier signatures, and newer artists, which used designs that incorporated a lot more waves, bubbles, crossthroughs, etc.

2010 - Everything had settled out, and things started to die down. Most of the older artists that found most of the beginning styles had left by now.

Cool summary Sun. I'm sure if you guys worked out more details you could very easily compile a good deal of history for the ascii community.

^ Lol.

Luckily, due to the nature of Forum Games, most of the "peak" threads (2009 onwards) are still around. If we made a signature history thread, I could provide details from 2007-2009 (and a few earlier details). That just leaves some of the more active members to recount what happened from 2010-Now.

That took me forever and i'm still deciding whether or not to use it. It takes up a lot of characters that I could use in my post.

But before I decide whether or not to use it, let me add some color.
