    I kinda thought about this when looking at Julio-R- 's alias.

    I was thinking why don't all the Rocket's loyalists put a -R- tag before their name.

    eg. -R-dakeem1 or -R-Locke or -R-Houston

    What do yout hink of that Locke/Trip? Hahaha, sorry I ain't used to lock yet

    It would make us look like a cult hahaha. Or make us look united together as Rocket fans.

    Sounds good to me haha. But im sure not everyone would do it. I got 1 problem with it though. I guarantee some of the rookies will start putting it on their names too. So if you guys do decide to do this, make a rule that they have to be invited in to Lounge 1st.

    I was thinking about having AznxBaller making a special Rockets team sig that everyone can then use, but if we do that anyone can use it as well. I don't mind having a -R- tag, but the admins would go nuts if they have to add it to every name. How about everyone who wants the tag tell me then I'll submit a list to Hunter or something.

    Instead of putting it in the Username, why not just put something in the usertitle? Makes more sense to me. Kind of like what Trip has right now with "The Wonders of Philosophy" or whatever.

    EDIT- Yeah I'm definitely up for making a sig for everyone to use.

    The Knicks kids already did this if I am not mistaken.

    I don't dig the -R- thing though, it looks kind of Counter-Strike-ish. But if everyone else is up for it, I guess I am. I like the idea of User Titles, we could all put something Rocket Related, or even Pick a Player to represent. And since we definitely have 12 active Rocket users on the board, we could do the whole roster [​IMG] .

    And yes, AXB should do a sig for all of us. And since he is a Rocket Fan, he must be as biased as possible [​IMG] .

    </div>Yeah, that thought crossed my mind. The Knicks forum is one of the most hated on JBB because of what they did. They twisted Iron Shiek's words and basically tried to sound like smart asses. I'd hate for that to happen to us.

    Problem with sigs is that there might be too many people plagurising it. I think we should have a sig, but use that only during the playoffs as a show of support.

    I don't know, I think we should do something, but I can't think of anything that would be perfect.

    I agree that we definitely need some sort of unique calling...and yeah, I think Rockets team sigs would be AWESOME...only given to those members allowed in the Rockets lounge...but I think they're all great ideas! [​IMG]

    Yeah, but we also have a growing reputation as homers. And unfortunately, I have to agree with them. There have been many occasions where its been plain annoying the way about 80% of us here have been overrating our team. Sorry, had to get that off my chest.

    Hmm..I like the usertitles idea..But everyone having the same sig is going too far in my opinion, as is putting an R in our names, kind of like telling every rocket fan to dress the same...

    Yeah, no offense, but theres no way in hell I'm going to stick a -R- on my username. I like to keep my originality.

    Trip/Locke, I'm not sure I was a member of JBB when that happened, or maybe I am just plain oblivious. What happened with the Knicks kids and Iron Shiek?

    Hah, thanks man, thats quite the compliment coming from you. Even though you started a few weeks after me (I think), you have surely progressed a lot faster. Sometimes, I am too lazy to post the sigs I make .. One day it'll be a magnomonkey EXTRAVAGANZA!

    We could Collab if you wanted (IMO, for Sigs that might be kind of odd), or once we both get into making walls we could do a JBB Rockets Forum Wall. And Trip was part of the RDT, no? He's definitely good at Graphics as well.

    User title idea is okaaay, but no one bothers to look at that though.
    I didn't even notice Locke's "wonders of philosophy" user title until it was pointed out in plain english in this thread.

    The sig idea is cool, but there is no way to monitor it to only allow rocket lounge members to use em, etc etc. I think the -R- idea works best, after all I thought of it hahaha.

    what if we put our initials and then 'rocket' following them? like for example, mine woule be "DS Rocket"...therefore it allows us to maintain an identity for ourselves while also representing the team...

    I like the Idea..as well. I think it'd be a pretty nice addition for us "Rocket Lounge" members to have a new idenity in a way.
