  • Omg forum signatures.

    I remember on one forum I visited, people would do these “scavenger hunt”/puzzle things, where they would encode some sort of clue in an image in their signature. Like in the corner of the blue background, there’s a grid of pixels of slightly different shades of blue, and if you treat the lighter blues as 1s and the darker as 0s, and decode it as ASCII, it’ll give you a URL to another image, which has another clue, this time a math puzzle, etc…The first person to “solve” the signature would DM the answer, and they would edit the signature with a leaderboard of usernames who solved it.

    And people would get crazy creative with it! It was a lot of fun.
