Unlike most sig makers I didnt learn about forum sigs through a gaming forum. I was first active at the Vancouver Canucks (NHL) team forum. There was a forum section where I saw these awesome signatures and I constantly was requesting new ones, I swear the people there hated me. One day I thought that maybe there was some GFX forums so I Googled "GFX sites", and found what was soon to be my home in the GFX world, and that was www.designergfx.com. I hung out there a long time, getting to know the people and admiring the awesome gfx, wishing one day I would be as good as they were. A member by the name of StatusQuo (aka. uNeek) posted an advertisement to his brand new web site, www.mydamnsig.com(MDS). The place became a huge hit, loved and hated by many. I was instantly made a moderator there, and it was a super tough job dealing with the super unruley members from GameBattles, who were always requesting new logos. That was when I started to become well known with the "cool kids" in GFX. After MDS went under due to it becoming a mess, full of imature members, I was invited to multiple successors of the site, to help moderate (Genetic GFX, CompleteBordom, etc.). None of these sites were nearly as active as MDS once was but it was a lot of fun. After these group of sites, I went into hiding at my home site and wasn't really active. I became admin there over that time, and started designing. I began to get on and design a lot more as I improved. I started visiting other GFX sites, like Artistic Studios v2. AS v2 went under and I went into another hiding, and began to really improve my gfx skill, developing my own style. This summer I came out and became active at a site called InfinityStyle. I loved it there, it was a lot of fun and I met a lot of cool people. Unfortunately due to some members ruining the fun at the site I left and went over to the famous Sigbake. Shortly after my arrival there they shut down and started over with www.Canvas-Box.com. I caught wind of a new AS and I was super excited, hoped on MSN and hit up Mr. Legacy and here I am :D
