Aye, that it is. There is a plus side though, my sig was on here first!-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 00:21, 21 September 2007 (BST)

It's a little better now, I added a link the the archive. - If Jedaz = 13:26, 21 September 2007 (BST) then pi = 2 + 1

Darn

Looks like Project Mentor overtook the race...taking back it's #12 spot... --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 20:40, 26 September 2007 (BST)

I tond that will happen! I warned we should prepare for this! The race is ON --~~~~ [talk] 21:16, 26 September 2007 (BST)

Must...welcome...every...newbie...But the problem with that...we only get like an average of 10 newbies a day... --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 01:33, 27 September 2007 (BST) Plus an average 3 with no talk pages...and...Damn.... --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 01:35, 27 September 2007 (BST)

Just as a sidenote: when you welcome a newbie, the Welcomenewbie template contains a link to Project Mentor... it's like racing against yourself if you get me. Also, don't use the template for selfish purposes! =P --Matthew Fahrenheit ^YRC☺T☺+1 02:17, 27 September 2007 (BST)

Not only to Project Mentor, but also to other pages that are above us in the race. This is our rival. Welcomnewbie template. If we cannot stop newbies being welcomed, we must make sure all would be welcomed with our link in the sig. This way our rival pages will get not more links boosts than our and we'll have boost in other sources. --~~~~ [talk] 14:16, 27 September 2007 (BST)

Say what? OK...where's the UnwelcomeNewbie page? I'm signing up for that! Although that could seriously reduce my average post count... --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 22:44, 27 September 2007 (BST)

If you want to help us in our evil plans then please do =). Project Evil is a bunch of kittens in front of us, because we are actually working towards our goal through our Rube Goldberg plans of wiki domination! Muahahahahahaha! --Matthew Fahrenheit ^YRC☺T☺+1 23:17, 27 September 2007 (BST)

Good job at reviving an old conversation. We tend to ignore Axe whenever he goes on his "Mudkipz" rants. :)-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 20:10, 15 May 2008 (BST)

Thats alright, I've been busy with things in real life so I didn't have the chance to set it up. Have nominations run for a week, and then voting for a week. - If Jedaz = 01:51, 29 September 2007 (BST) then pi = 2 + 1

No one else seems to be responding...so I guess this is late! --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 01:52, 29 September 2007 (BST)

Yeah, more or less. I still lurk around but I have no motivation to edit as often as I use to. We had a good run while it lasted.

I'm not even in this thing. But I do think that the WN templaters are vandals that the sysops won't ban.--Karek^maps?! 05:20, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

At least my welcomes don't have that template in them anymore right?-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 05:29, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

That's a little better, cause that template breaks future formatting of pages if they don't want to archive_{(I had to remove it from my talk page for just that reason)}. But still, the whole thing is spamming user pages under the guise of helping even though it is almost always for their own benefit, such as when applying for promotion or competing in the sig race.--Karek^maps?! 05:34, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

I wants sysop power. I go spam pages with template! Not really. If I wanted Sysop powers, I'd do something useful instead. :D . Although I doubt I'd get them. Oh well. And how does it break the format? I never got one (thankfully), so I have't had to archive it.-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 05:41, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

It only breaks format if you have your user page not big enough to suit the template actually. You can't see it in my page history any more because my header has changed to the one with the image. I'll be glad to continue this on my talk page, but I'm not gonna pull this any more off topic.--Karek^maps?! 07:12, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

I'll take this even further off topic...10 money trees says I'll pass Matt within a year. Or 2. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 15:33, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

I feel I have not been properly represented here. I have not been active in many-many months My ranking is #60 with 1,150 links. Shame on you wiki Gods for forgetting about Airborne88! I have thousands of edits and links (a few of them even meaningful) Update me and give me the meaningless recognition of my controbutions or I my just come back and flood you with thousands of more pointless yet nondestrucive posts. Thousands. Think about it. I might get so mad I might even play the game. And Pk people. Nobody wants that. Update me.--Airborne88^T|Z.Quiz|PSS 07:24, 21 July 2008 (BST)

===Edit===

Oh ya, I will be back in 6months to a year to make sure you comply with my demands--Airborne88^T|Z.Quiz|PSS 07:25, 21 July 2008 (BST)

Changed the "edit" title so it wasn't a level 3 heading, it unnessacarly clutters up the page. Anyway you could always do it yourself, theres nothing stopping you, but congragulations on getting that high. You still have a while until you take over the number one user though. - Jedaz - 08:04/21/07/2008

Thank you for the edit. I hope I will never be depressed and/or drunk enough to move to the #1 slot. God help the user who does. No one person should have that much free time.--Airborne88^T|Z.Quiz|PSS 19:53, 14 August 2008 (BST)

60 On the most linked to page. Yet, no representation.. I have actually done one or two positive things for the UD Wiki in my thousands of meaningless edits. I simply ask to be properly represented as the spamer I really am. I tried really hard to smear my sig all over this wiki and manage to avoid being perma-banned. --Airborne88^T|Z.Quiz|PSS 06:17, 16 August 2008 (BST)

The End.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 22:22, 16 May 2010 (BST)

I was actually interested, why not revive this for once a year? Maybe a big Sig contest etc? Anyone interested? --

 

 

 

 

13:19, 24 July 2010 (BST)

Well, there was some drama. If I remember correctly, some people got escalated for spamming, placing off-hand comments everywhere to get their sig linked. A competition is nice, but there will always be people that try to win "no matter the cost" which rarely goes well with the established rules and the principle of good-faith. --Thadeous Oakley 13:54, 24 July 2010 (BST)

Personally I'm not interested in more spamming, but I'd like a fun sig comp. Not much harm can occur there. --

Yeah, i think it's abotu time we removed the sysops' names from the WN template. They aren't really at all necessary, and they're just clutter. If there are no major objections, I'll change it back. I don't see the need for a vote, seeing how they were added without one in the first place.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 15:44, 27 July 2010 (BST)
