For future reference, don't expect people to kiss your ass whenever you post something asking for opinions. Because if there are honest people around, it's not going to go the way you want it to. Keep this in mind the next time you fiend for feedback. So are you threatening to post negative feedback on promos even if they aren't bad? What do you think I'm looking for when I ask for feedback? Positive comments? If so, then you're completely incorrect. I'm looking to see who's reading and what they did and didn't like, and how I can keep the story interesting for the people reading.

And rep, would you change something as small as "TMGJ.GFX" if one person, whose, from what I've seen, signatures and banners are simple and the same looking style wise, kept shitting on it?

Want a serious comment on your signatures? There isn't really any blending in them, you did a basic job of filtering them so they are all the same color. The watermarks are an eyesore and you have one of them in each corner, and for what? "For James Storm only" is the most unnecessary of them all. If you're going to do it at all, just put your name. In very small text.
The fonts are nearly unreadable on all sigs. The middle one is the easiest to read and even then it's still hard. Are you using photoshop? Try saving them with the resolution bar to the highest point, then the fonts and pictures will come out clearer.

I wouldn't put a serious watermark on my banners in the first place. When I make a banner I put nothing but pictures, a name or phrase, and effects for filtering. If someone doesn't like the effects I'm using or a picture, they have the right to say so. Then again, I'm not posting my banners every time I make them. When I do post them on the board, it's for people to see and have the links. Usually they request them. If the banners I make are simple and same looking, people wouldn't ask for them. For the record I didn't ask what you think of the banners, nor do I care... but you sure have a right to say what you feel... no matter how douchey it makes you look.

The For James isn't for James Storm, the person it's for is named James. I'm saving them with the res bar to the highest point. And other than you, most people can read the font. Thanks for the feedback.

I just get bored when I'm on teh computer, most times I make sigs per request or if I have inspiration. All three fit that description.

All I see in this thread is a bunch of reaching... and it's not coming from Rep over here.
I've been in WWE feds, and... they're atrocious. Shit, I've had a conversation with CP over this and he CLAIMED to be disgusted by them as well, and now you're defending them to the death? The 10 page long promo was totally uncalled for. Anybody who claims to have read that is a liar, and it was just piles of descriptions with one liners thrown into it... which I see from a lot of you who have came from feds like that. Sure, I did it here and there while RPing as Jake Steele, and even with Damian DeNiro. Yet nothing extreme as that, what that promo was just... no.
As for the banners, they aren't bad. Though I think you bashing someone else's banners just because of negative feedback on yours is pretty childish... and petty of you, TJ. I may not be the top candidate when it comes to accepting "constructive criticism" but I've never gone as far as to retaliate with the bashing of someone else's work just out of spite... unless they deserve it, and their promos really are downright awful. Like JDM.

to say something is crap you have to at least try it, I felt the same way as you but after I tried it out, I've met some amazing writers, some amazing people and quite frankly, if you haven't tried it, I feel you aren't able to say shit about it. I don't deny that I had that conversation with Mike however that was before I joined the fed I'm in now and quite honestly, bashing it before I had tried it was petty of me.

There you go Rep, that's not even the best one I've seen on a real life wrestler fed but the one that was most accesible. You're a great writer, but I'd honestly like to see you try and beat Mike (the author.) For me to say something is crap you have to at least try it, I felt the same way as you but after I tried it out, I've met some amazing writers, some amazing people and quite frankly, if you haven't tried it, I feel you aren't able to say shit about it. As AK said in the pm on the new policy (no -10 for me) I think your opinion is a load of rubbish. Guess what? I was in WWF feds when I was 12. Don't expect that you know everything about me. I never assumed to know everything about you, however let's say for arguments sake, you're 16, that's a four year difference and all around, alot has changed in four years, if you look at the promo's from then, as opposed to now, even Yoko (who was considered the best) said it's passed him. For a real life thing, when I was eight, I thought girls were digusting, but that changed in four years. When I was 14 I played video games no stop, now, three years later I hardly play at all. Alot changes in four years or more.

Like JDM. I apoligize about the sig bashing, as it was a heat of the moment type of deal. I know Rep didn't go that far, but bashing my work right off the back because of a watermark and it being of a real life wrestler pissed me off. I've had to read that promo as I am the GM of RAW on WWER, it took me about 10 minutes because I'm a slow reader, but its more than just a few one liners and description. I can't explain it to you because until you read RPs like that week in and week out, you're not going to fully understand. BTW, I take credit for CP's change of heart. Plus, Steele you know this, I hated WWE feds and to a point still do. But its the point that some of the owners in those feds book like it's WWE or TNA and not like a fed. I mean, I'd try to convice you guys, but I really wouldn't want to seem like I was shoving a WWE fed down your throats. But I do have a question to Rep and Steele, when was the last time you were in a WWE fed for more than a month?

Thing is Rep, that's painting them all with the same brush. I'm sure you could find dozens of piece of shit CAW feds as well. Just because one sucks, doesn't mean they all do. I mean, because some guys like cock does that mean we all do?
