too much clutter imo
Just keep it to the 4 line rule.
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:p:scared:Quote:

I dont think RTOC will ever have Sig's, alot of people dont like them... there nomally abused, spammed, advertising etc...
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.
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? :laugh:) 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.
YOU OLD FART!!!
:D:D
Oh well, I wouldn't lose sleep over it if it didn't happen. I can appreciate simplicity. :)
Me? I'm 19 :laugh:Quote:

Personally, if i'd want to see a members car, i'd look in their profile.
If I want to see ****y photoshop skills, i'll look on barryboys.
So what does that tell you? I was born on September 27th, maybe :laugh:Quote:

I just find it all a bit worn out..... maybe I could handle a "fail" where it's due.... for example: me calling you illiterate because my girlfriend's computer spell checker is American (she is) when actually it turned out to me that was being a burke. That's a fail. :laugh: Having an opinion isn't.
'Fail' is one of those social diseases that Mart picked up on a dodgy American website
:laugh: Exactly. As I said, it's just a bit of banter. We're all chums here :)
Bloody yanks!Quote:

That, my friends, is a WALLOP of FAIL!
I still remember the days when peeps complained that having the option to post pictures on forums would 'clutter' and ruin the very world we live in today.
Pfft... :crap::D
But so often they do, take a look in the general chat forum, full of crap.Quote:

What can I say... people hate change. :D I think the pros also outweight the cons with the for sale section and posting pics of your car.
No one can be bothered to click on a list of links.

Steady Eddy, I was only making a joke. :confused:
Wow, talk about (still) trying to flog a dead horse.
Signatures aren't going to happen on here. Period. Can we leave it there now, and let this thread disappear into the yonder.

You're trying my patients. You make fun of my opinion then say "your only having a laugh", now I'm throwing things out of my pram. If you can't handle people responding to your cocky gestures then don't make them, or atleast don't aim them in my direction.Quote:

What cocky gestures have I made?? So far, I started a thread related to "feedback" in the feedback section of the forum, got hounded and simply replied to people who had someone to say about it.
tomorrow is going to be interesting
. some funny remarks in this thread some are not so funny
for me the site is working well and just how most peeps like it
the site does alow pickys and web links . but no sigs
i could put a sig at the bottom of each post but i would have to insert it myself .
no way would i agrea to an auto sig
i say keep the pickys as they help solve problems but im a no no to the sigs
PS:
