    Signatures....

    Are these available?

    Personally, I quite like seeing and reading funny quotes/one liners in signatures.

    some are funny, 1 in a 1000 maybe...

    they just spam the place up, traders spam threads with there sites etc, one used to type there in after each post for a while if i remember right.. ghey.

    i dont see them ever turning up on the rtoc as 99.38467564% of members aren't interested..

    i must fall in to the 0.61532436% of people

    i do like sigs, used for your car, but yes using them as free advatising space is a bit lame,

    what if car siggys are aloud and no advatising?

    Re: Signatures....

    I've never really seen spamming and junk advertising in signatures in many of the forums I've posted in, but IF it was a main concern, it wouldn't take much to put a rule in place to stop advertising.

    With car enthusiasts, you usually just get the odd picture of the person posting's car with their user name styled into the pic. I think it can look quite cool and a bit more personalised. Other signatures are mainly random favourite quotes in general and also people who take funny quotes from other users.

    Signatures are the way forward, imo.

    Re: Signatures....

    This has been bought up several times over the years, and it gets shot down every time, thankfully!

    The majority of members like these boards for their simplicity to read (whether that's because this site's full of old farts, who knows? ) Yes, a picture signature might look good, once! When it starts appearing after every single post from that person it gets boring, and repetitive.

    When people use writing, and quotes in their signatures, you can sometimes find yourself hunting for the actual posts when reading threads.

    We've got avatars for pictures, and the status updates if you feel the need to quote something. Imo, that's enough.

    signatures are all a bit style over content don't you think ? they serve no intellectual service and won't exist on this site for as long as I maintain it. they munch bandwidth, space in the database, would ruin the live window and mean that you have to wade your way though BS everytime you want to find information in a thread.
