How do you end your forum posts?

A full stop?

That's a bit.. insulting though.

Why else would you sign your posts in such a manner? The last bit of content you write is prefaced by your nickname as if to say "DON'T EVER FORGET MY NAME". I mean, I can get around people signing with "All the best" or "Regards" as just being old-fashioned and silly, but prefacing your last sentence with your nickname is a move designed only to make yourself more memorable and unique.

It works, too.

"What do you think?"

If I'm posting a new craft or some big thing I will sign of with,

MJ

I find it a little pompous to sign off every single post. Not many people do that, even Rune. I used to do it but I bored myself!

MJ,

Mary Jane or Michael Jackson?

I know - All I'm saying is asking how you end your forum posts - A statement such as "Happy Landings"? Okay, sure. Your own name, that could be fine too. In my case, I use the former more often. I never said I ended my sentences with my own name, but neither do I oppose those who do.

I end it with my signature. Works pretty well for me. Not my real one, of course, but the forum's sig.

I don't do it myself. I don't quite see the reason, these aren't emails, letters, or anything like that. I don't mind it though, unusual things make life interesting.

regex. Signing off like this just makes you seem like you're trying to be a special snowflake on the internet made more memorable by using a silly gimmick rather than the content of your posts while ignoring the tools already handed you by the forum software.

Cheers!

With smug satisfaction, usually.

...I share this opinion exactly.

A post is usually a reply or adding something, in real life people don't say their name after everything they say. In writing, the same, that's what the period is for at the end of the last sentence.

In addition to my previous post, I often only use sign-offs for long replies, as to make it not seem too.. abrupt.

See? No signoff here, move along!

I hope you realize that everyone knows what you mean, and some of us are just having fun with the question so don't be offended. Also, I think there's a couple other posts around here you could read to see how people end their posts

[AlphaAsh]

I like to end my posts in the middle of a sen

[Mad Rocket Scientist]

For I while I was using Tom Swifties (look it up!) as PM sign-offs, but I kind of stopped that, because I can't always think of a good pun.

Another fun way to end a post is: "Soft landings" Which is also a reference to the real world space program.

MRS. This is fun!
