Well copying my sig wouldn't make any sense, but I would be pretty annoyed if someone copied my avatar, it was made for me by my girlfriend.

I think I saw an admin with a similar avi to mine....but I think he got it first, it was different, but a drawing by the same artist. I haven't seen anyone copy anyone else, I don't think.

If they copied my avi, I'd change mine to something else. There's tons of pinkie pie gifs out there!

If they copied my sig, I'd be happy 'cuz it has the OnLive logo in it. ^_^

On the principal that I largely use Avatars to identify people I dislike it when more than one person has the same avatar, less so about sigs but still annoying. Beyond that I don't really care.

I'd be upset. My sig and avy are unique. If I found out someone copied them, then I will come down on them like the hammer of Thor. The thunder of my vengence will echo through these forums like the gusts of a thousand winds.

I can understand that someone would be angry if a avatar/sig they made was stolen but most of the ones used were just ripped from somewhere else, you don't really have any right to be angry then.

Well yes and no. You see, your right about most people taking it from somewhere else. But if you know someone from THIS site is using it, and you use it on THIS site, then that's wrong. Well maybe not wrong but it shows an incredible lack of originality. Not all sigs of course.

My ava, I care about. My sig, not so much. In fact, I've gotten quite a few PMs from people who say my signature has inspired them.

It's a furry, I don't think there is much risk of people wanting to steal it :P

Generally none furs wouldn't want to associate with anything furry, while furries will have their own persona.

I made my sig. Me! Well, I suppose if they were part of the union and advertising it. I plant to change it. My avatar is somewhat unique, if only because I captured the image from a music video.

Definitely recognize you by your sig, but if you changed it I would remember your account name, as it is unique.

My opinion - be original and get your own avy & sig. I've noticed a few people that have copied what veteran users have. What say you, OT?topsemag55

I've seen one user with the same avatar as me, and the reason I suspect he copied it is because I had to resize it to look good on gamespot. But, of course, I can't know that for sure (he also doesn't appear to post on OT). Maybe he already had it before me, who knows?

It would mean that they are a killer like me, so i would ask to become partners in crime! Obama himself would walk off just to find us, with the guile theme in the backround.

Most people already copy my signature. As to my avatar, it's a custom version of the Deus Ex box art. I've never seen anyone with my exact avatar.

I'd laugh. Even though I've had this sig for a while, it's not like I'm opposed to changing it. If someone else copied me, I'd probably just go with another film sig. It's not like it's hard.

Got rid of the Photobucket account and apparently it took my avy. I'll probably get another one eventually.
