Signature served up 37,000 times in less than 3 days!
 

So, I post on a few boards with my new sig and within a few days I notice it has been served up 36,000 times. Checking referer logs shows it being used on boards I cant even read! lol

I can see it now; tag line impressions for sale!

:lol:

nice sig.

stop spying on me!!!!!!!!!

cool shit.
how does it werk ?

Nice, I'd put some spam in there

How does it work exactly?

... or a circus cat.

I feel violated....:eek7

nice.

its imagemagick right?

the .jpg is really a script that pulls your ip, chops the domain and snags browser string and stuffs it into an image.

Me too! :feels-hot

How much for that script?

how do u do that?

he won't say

he's playing at being a coy little bitch

Are you playing at being LucL0nley's butt buddy?

funny as hell :1orglaugh
i thought i had seen those numbers before LOL

That is cool!

I want it!

:glugglug

37,000 is nothing, I had 25k impressions on GFY in one day.

try again. this time make sense

huh??

It's all PHP :thumbsup

you actually get any clicks though?

Sorry, had the grill going.... burgers, mmmmm.....

Okay, here's the deal, like they said, its a PHP script. That part was easy, getting the sign to be dynamic in size was a little harder and getting the nonproportional fonts to always center was a bit of a pain.

Since the image is hosted off my server, whenever it is loaded from another one, I get the referring information and parse it apart. To make it appear as an image using a jpg tag, I use a rewrite on my server toredirect the request to the PHP script. I suppose to make it clean I should return a JPG to throw people off a little.

I hadnt considered selling it. I was going to make it into a service where people could get a unique IMG tag to point to a sign with whatever text they wanted. Just for fun.

I still have a little work to do on it - all in all about a days work.

Oh, I dont use ImageMagick (system calls are too cumbersome) - I use GD.

As for impressions, I was running an advertisment; its just a sig. ;)

share the code :)

that would be cool on my site

It's Easy to do. See :

Simple pimple.. Don't feel like parsing the user agent info..

HAHA, im using aol and it said :

You are using aol! Aol sucks! :1orglaugh

Sure, Kevin; but now make the graphics nice and pretty.... Plus your img src'ing a php script - thats too obvious... Since your using internal fonts, I'd bet what you did took all of an hour or so.... Come on, man; put some effort into it! lol

What I did wasnt complicated - but you gotta admit, I was the first to do it this way. lol

Yeah, I also added "Butterflies are Ghey" for msn.net users... :lol:

Oh yeah.. Making it pretty is the hard part.. I mean Kudos to you fitnessphotos.. I don't have the patience with it (esp for no money hah no motivation)..

I think your sig looks great.. And yeah i'm using default fonts.

Didn't want to make a mod_rewrite rule either (well i'm assuming that's what you did)..

Yeah an hour is about right with the majority of time spent making it look pretty. I can only imagine the frustrations you had with fitting all crap in.

best,

Can you make it show a GPS map with the user's current position?

Cheers, Kevin! I got alot of flack from people saying I had too mcuh time on my hands and to drop the useless sig. I also got alot of PMs, IMs and emails wanting to know why I was posting their IP info in my sig (one person called me racist!). People didnt get that it was dynamic.

I'm thinking of making a signup page where you can enter some text and get a url like: imagename.jpg to post in your sig; then the script would use the imagename to lookup your custom text and place it in the sig.

Who knows - I start alot of stuff like this and then never finish it.

I even did an avatar with random text.

Hey, maybe I'll give people the code in exchange for some clicks-thrus to my paysite! lol

why would anyone think you're rascist?

some people are fucking retarded

Exactly. The racist remark came from a guy with a Chinese name who had read me Smack down a friend of his in the past. He assumed that I had targeted him and his IP and that the pattern suggested I was racist and a bigotted.

Some people just dont get IT.

you're wrong

spandex is a right

me 3 :feels-hot :feels-hot

Hope you make something out of it.

Good luck, you racist! (haha)

gee, how tricky and unique. :)
