Getting rid of sigs

I belong to a few other forums that do not allow signitures at the end of posts, and I find it is MUCH less cluttered and easier to read. If I were to try and make a push for getting rid of them, would the response be overwelmingly "go to hell, i love my sig" or what? Lots of people seem to have them on here, but for the most part it is just inside jokes, quotes, or random stuff. I think that would fit in nicely in their profile opposed to a sig.

what is your opinion?

The only sig that used to piss me off was Timmi's. Ah that one always got me, but now I dont caught my it.

it definetly helps when people put a line, or a bold name like you did to seperate it.

i guess its just wierd for me because none of the other forums i frequent allow them. they also use a newer version of VBB or whatever its called though, so maybe that plays a difference.

all in all, i just find them to be very cluttered, disorganized and unnecessary.

i think there just needs to be an easy way to tell them apart from text in the actual post.

perhaps a different size text, or a different font?

thats what i'm saying... at the very minimum a line or some shit should be there if sigs are going to be allowed. i would think having it easier to read and process would make it a lot more enjoyable and usefull for everyone.

I think you really mean " it would make it easier and a lot more enjoyable and useful for myself."

i would benefit, sure. i also think others would too though. its not a wholly selfish thought process. just my two cents on improving the site.

well fair enough... i won't disagree... but making lines mandatory just kinda seems secondary to other things the site could do... if you know what i mean...

an option for disabling sigs would work too. and i'm pretty sure an admin can make it automatically put a line, or chance the sig's font. but what do i know about computers? either way, i think it would be stupid if every user had to put the line in themselves.

i agree its a relatively small change... but honestly? i'm not that ambitious. i don't need to take over the world. small attempts at contributions for now. if i was really into getting things changed, i'd push a better search function or a newer forum software. i don't really know enough about stuff for that though.
