I'm here too... bouncing back and forth between the two realms for now

I miss the signatures actually... my running rainbow penis/lizard/llama feels really left out on this new forum. Poor little guy.

I miss them, too. Even my small forum had the capability to have them. I can't understand why a site this big wouldn't.

Like someone here in this thread said (although in a different context): the forum is for discussion, not infantile signatures. You can do that at myspace if you wish.

I can see the pros and cons of this. I've been to a forum where every poster seemed to have 20 rows of sparkly animated images and banners. It's ridiculous. On the other hand, I like when people have links to their websites, or lists of the shows they're going to. And I'll be honest, a lot of times I don't look at names when reading posts, so I get to know people by their avatar/signature.

Maybe because signatures are the stupidest thing ever to be invented for public forums, they take large amounts of space, break the pleasure of reading well constructed posts, not to mention that they take their toll on both the server and the user bandwidth?
Honestly, I would be more active on the Spiral, if that was turned off.

There was an option to disable signatures... haven't you seen it?

Hi Spiralers. I was only really getting to know different people and get into the swing of some of the threads when everything changed.
Got to learn heaps of new names and people to avoid now hey.

Hey, I feel kinda in the same place. In the first year I didn't even know the Spiral existed even though I was a member. Then I spent most of the time lurking.

I'm over here too
