Here be dragons

Zaph · 2009-02-07 00:08:53

Would somebody mind telling me what the story is with all the dragons and eggs in people's sigs? I've no particular issue with them and don't want any myself, it's just that they're everywhere and I'm curious as to what the point of them is.

We've been taken over by the Welsh.

Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

The yokes in the sigs here and here, for example.

I've seen loads in sigs tonight, but naturally when I actually go looking for some examples it took me ages to find some. :rolleyes:

The pics all lead to this (http://dragcave.net/). Seems to be one of those fads like that minitown (or whatever it was called) shíte. You seem to need people to click on or view your dragons to keep them alive/make them grow.

The sigs are links and lead to something called Dragon's Cave which looks like a Tamougochi (sp?) type website. At that point I lost interest and reported back.

Yeah, saw that but the site doesn't really explain it. Missed the minitown fad, or have managed to purge it from my brain. It's not a big deal, as I said I was just curious (and obviously incredibly bored to even bother starting this thread ).

Probably something to do with the fact that a high percentage (compared to the normal population) of boardsies are "gamers" so they are into dragons
