Augtember Retro Month™~

What is Retro Month?
Well, Retro Month is when you fish out the oldest Avatars and Signatures you have and use them for 30 days! Sounds easy right?

Here I was all year anticipating this exciting event and when the month finally comes we get nothing! So I've taken it upon myself to start this up and since it's so late we'll extend it by 10 days! So let's make this Augtember Retro Month™!

This idea was taken from the loveliest damsel in the land. :aimkiss:

back to the good old stuff xD
this is as old as i have on file (the av is older than the sig though, as you can tell by the colours)

I'm - as they might say - down with that. I can't find my original avatar or even the original screenshot I got the avatar from, but I've still got the signature of an old theme I must've used in about 2004. Can't imagine myself using it now, but what the hell.

This is one of the oldest that I can be arsed finding, so it can do. I doubt I'll keep it on for 30 days, but whatever xD

back in my Rasmus fangirl days ;_;

This is about as retro as I can get.

God knows if I can be damned to remember what my first Custom Title and Sig were.

I'm looking for my old Mitsurugi sig I used back when I first came here. xP

I lost that one, too, though. *saves*

Someone sticky this!

Anyway, this one here was my third signature back in 2005. I have my original one though, a Sephiroth one-- but I'd rather have nails hammered into every joint in my hands than use it.

I don't know how long I'll stick with this though. I miss my Matsuri avatar and Strawberry Marshmallow signature already...

EDIT: There, a compromise. :heart:

This is the oldest I can get. Maybe my infamous nail bat signature is older though.

I would use my awesomely awesome nuclear panda signature, which I'm sure PsyPie would remember, but that has long since been lost to that unfortunate incident involving a My Documents folder wipe. Left the subfolders, though. Nice computer.

The oldest I have is Refia/Luxord by ff7+ff10 gurl 100. I could have it remade, but it wouldn't be very honest.

This is rather silly.

Sure why not. I don't have my original avatar, but this is my first sig, I'm assuming at least, it's the first image in my photobucket. I have a lot of sigs I miss, but I'm too lazy to replace the name.
08-11-2008, 05:53 AM

I'm pretty sure my first avatar was a Mushroomhead logo which is long gone, but this one was shortly after.

Really took me time to find that damned avatar, but now my first combo is complete :).

I have NO IDEA what my old avatar used to be, but I do remember this signature was one of my oldest! xD
08-11-2008, 07:06 AM

Can't get much older than this avatar for me, aside from the pre-assigned rank avatars before we could select from the gallery... as for old sigs, I don't have any of them, nor do I remember what most of them looked like. I just know that most of them were terrible, and also that my webspace was full of images renamed to have .txt extensions to get around Angelfire's anti-hotlinking for images block. Good times.

Oh. There is also this little bit of nolstalgia.

I Took the Red Pill

This is an imitation of the first real avatar I had. I think the first one said "Jecht" on it vertically but I cba to do that myself. No idea where the signature is, this placeholder will have to do for now.

Also, I propose custom titles become first usernames.

I was going to do this again this year but then I forgot and when I remembered it was like August 4th so I decided to say smurf it. Double kudos to you guys who still have your old stuff.

I just might be able to pull this off.

EDIT: Now I look like a newb again.

The avatar's all I can remember, and it's all I've got.

I only just switched from the only other avy I ever used on here and I ain't switching back.

Sounds good. Have no idea what my custom title would've been anyway!

Retro, huh? Can do.

Not my oldest avatar and signature, but classic nonetheless. I was definitely using these sometime back in '03, the year I joined.

Us Graphic Designers are impatient little gremlins, so I've decided to end this on September 1 for novelty's sake. Feel free to keep using your old junk for longer if you want to.

You can still Right Align a large sig and have the dragons to the left! :bigsmile:

Funny. My original avatar was 'none' and I didn't use a sig.
08-25-2008, 05:32 PM

You don't have to use your oldest one though. You could use that Firefox one you used to have. At least, that's what I remember as your earliest avatar.

I don't remember what my first set was.

These are my first avatar and signature that I can remember. ^__^

Its halfway over but I'll join in I suppose. For a little while :]

This isn't my first, but I think it was my most recognizable. I went through quite a few in the beginning before I found one (this) that stuck for a while

Edit: I feel weird already...

Edit again: I don't think its worth it. I feel really immature for some reason haha
