Everybody in this thread loves it. But then, there are also people who still have not changed their signature to express their love for this great expansion.....
If we were to assume that Cryptic's overseers at PWE don't take these as sarcasm, could not these signatures be presented as overwhelming proof positive of Cryptic's own statements?
My guess is "hope" keeps people not playing but posting on the forums. For others, its a path of sad realization and closure. Grieving takes time. The worst "haters" here love the game, or did at some point.
We should alow our moderators the Right To Remain Indifferent to this.
Certainly, so far as I know, they a free to participate it the online community in a manner with as much freedom as you or I.
But they don't possess the luxury of being anything less in the eyes of the Demi-Mods.
True. I can give my opinion on anything I want, and it's my opinion unless stated otherwise. In this case however, I can easily have it backfire into a hate storm either way I go. Not just towards me, but towards cryptic or pwe so it's best for me to just remain neutral on the subject. :P
But also yes, there are quite a few signatures in this thread so it's hard to critique each one alone lol.

The dress is gold and white. Over 70% people says so. When viewed from a certain screen angle it appears blue and black. The dress displayed on amazon is a blue and black dress, but it's not the same dress in the picture. If you're seeing blue & black you're slightly colored blind. A normal upright screen = white and gold.
Heh, we need to create an official list of all STO memes and a description of them, who started it, how it got popular, etc. Like for example, this one was started by the guy with the baghdad bob sig (forgot his name) and exploded in popularity when this thread was started to collect the sigs, culminating in a six-part Youtube compilation series of every related image.

Funny thing... the variation of the Bob picture only started when one guy opened a thread because he received a warning for using inappropiate pictures.
He concluded that the mods meant his baghdad Bob signature, so people started getting rid of it in favor of... well... you know the rest.
I just want to say that I'm glad this turned into "make a cool sig" movement, rather than the more standard and boring "Put this in your sig to support X" movement.
It actually makes this feel like a real community and not just a den of trolls.

I think askray is just a smart guy who will not let his reputation be tarnished by saying he agrees or disagrees.
Lets face it, there are many people out here that like DR, and many that hate it, next to team Meh that contains me and many many more.
His opinion would mean driving one of the three camps against him. Which is not the smartest for a loved CM to do.
That, or his opinion differs from sig to sig, and he is not going to discuss each and every single one of them.
Or, he's just beinng professional, like "The opinions and views expressed in this post are solely those of askray, and do not represent that of Cryptic, PWE or its management, shareholders, ..." Etc.
One of the best! And voporak has a great talent for placing our sigs at the right moment in the vids. This one was perfect at the end. And i just checked, Morn still talks about all of this in Quarks ...

Yep, thats the story. So in a way, we can also 'thank' a mod for this movement.

^^ Brilliant!
So time for some Deus Ex fun?
Did you remember the guy from the first Deus Ex: "The vectors, the vectors are all wrong": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLB_P-WsPsY
Maybe he would say: "The metrics, the metrics are all wrong".
Or be creative with Jensens sentence "I never ask for this" from Deus Ex: Human Revolution.;)
