    Why? How?

    Whats the point? I've seen people with unfunny random comment sigs

    How do you make someone sig your comment

    Why don't people sig my comment? I've had funny ones.

    Here's a joke
    A slug walks into a bar, everyone is confused. Then they die from slug juice poisoning. The end

    So, why Sig someone's comment

    Usually because it's something they found funny, agreeable or mentions them in an amusing way. That's the general jist of most of them anyway.

    To make a quote your sig you just click "quote" on whatever post it is like you would in a thread but copy and paste it into the relevant section when you edit your profile.

    Not everyone who's said something funny is going to get sig'd by someone else.

    *edit*

    Why do we like Transformers? Why do we exist? Why are we here at a forum together hunched over keyboards typing to each other?

    It's a way of life, man. Just roll with it

    Some sigs with other people's comments aren't understandable at times because they are inside jokes that only those in the original thread would understand more.

    It is usually just something funny that someone came across, so they decide to carry the joke around them wherever they go on the site.

    Some people sig compliments they receive. Which is alright.

    I kinda like the ones that have no context to them and you see them in isolation as a sig and wonder just what the heck the discussion was to produce such a weird/amusing comment.

    When it comes to comedy, you can't come off as trying too hard, OP.

    They're usually snippets from funny conversations people have had with each other.

    Well for me, comments about others joking about me are what I sig, it's why I love the two I have, I feel like it characterizes me.


    That and to sig a comment, allows to remember certain conversations they've had before to live on forever.

    Some people like sig quotes, some people like sig pics, and some like both.

    It also helps if you're funny...

    What if I like laughing at what other people said? What if I like this for the good times? What if it's a memorial for members who are gone? What if your legs didn't know they were legs?
