Fan Tag ? Signature?

n00b question alert.

i know what i signature is...

but why is a tag different? is it a bit smaller? or is it more to do with what's on it?

 

There is no difference between a tag and a sig just a different name.

 

ahh... i think it's stupid so stupid... tag or sig whatever... i see peoples making sigs who say "stop the noobment, IT'S A TAG"

and other saying " stop the noobment ,IT'S A SIG" ... it'S a lot of time..

 

i guess they are just making fun

but tags and sigs are the same it's true

 

yeah, sig and tag are the same thing

 

They're the same thing.

I've no idea where the term 'tag' came from, I've been going on message boards since 98 and it's always been called a signature.

It seems to me that the people who use the term tag and say calling it a sig is noobish are trying to make themselves look better than they are.

 

this is a fan tag



this is a sig / tag

 

i see =) that's why i was confused.

although im not gonna be a gimp, perhaps 'tag' is more correct, because the 'signature' is the overall thing after the post, not just the graphic...

maybe?

 

The way I look at it is that what it seems to be is that the tags are better quality (pro,inter etc), and sigs are things like grunge.
Don't know why I think of it like that, just something I got used to.

 

or those few homosexuals who say 'bacon'

 

or pizzaniture.....tagnature.....or any reference in their sigs about the name of something made in photoshop

 

i wonder who first made that up

 

i know that there the same thing but a tag is more to do with grafitti than anything else i think

 

:lol: I think your the only one that thinks that, but now that i think of it, it sorta makes a bit of sense :unsure:

 

lol ill take credit for starting that whole thing.
