Ok is it just me, or does anybody else see some sort of subliminal message flash while viewing posts. Its like a really large sized word flashing in the blank part of peoples post. I have seen it twice now, i think.

Yeah, I've noticed that and it's been driving me crazy too. I thought animated sigs were not allowed?

I've found myself buying Pepsi cola recently and I don't know why. I blame on DMT's sig.

I do indeed.
Now we could get into the semantics of the phrase or you could just assume I meant what you know I meant. Okay?

your getting pretty snotty there considering all i did was ask if you knew the difference, between a pop-up and an animated gif. If your gonna call for someone to be banned you could at least know what your accusing him of.

calm down. Okay? (see i bet you dont like the condescending attitude either)

Sorry. It's Friday and I'm very tired and cranky.
If someone has an animated gif which 'pops' things up on my screen every now and then and it annoys me then it shouldn't be there IMO.

No probs. ive probly had too much coffee and am like that kid in south park atm. no offense intended/taken.

I actually agree with ya tho, it is slightly annoying when you catch it out of the corner of your eye and dont know what it is.

I couldnt see it in the cloud skin but when I changed over to the white one I could see the message "you're ghey"

Thought Animated sigs were a no no.
