    there nice in small doses, gives one the opportunity to showoff a bit

    only prob i got with sigs is they don't support BB code or allow transparency =\

    Couldn't you just make the background the color of the forums?

    OMG yes, put a limit on them.

    The arguement that noone plays MMO's on dial up or slow speeds is irrelevant. Is this an MMO? No, its a forum.
    I am on it currently from my blackberry browser. These super long novel-like signatures are brutal for mobile browsing. Why on my phone? Because I am at work, and like to read up on discussions when I can.
    And I'm sure there are others who do the same.

    Don't assume the world is all browsing here on broadband.

    **edit**
    And on a related note, people should stop quoting walls of text, in the very next post. If the reply is pages later, then yeah. But why do it when you're the next poster in line?

    I'd support a considerably shorter limit, as the OP described.

    ~ OR ~

    Another common technique to deal with this, which might be worth mentioning:

    Signature only appears in the individual's first post in a thread. Sometimes this is also combined with making sigs visible only to users who are logged in.

    b:sweat hamsta could you shorten your sig or something i have slow internet and it takes a while to load
    ~*ON TOPIC*~
    isnt there already a limit on the sigs? why would you wanna make it smaller? the only ppl i've seen with walls of text as their sig is hamsta and the other girl wafflechan mentioned, everyone else just puts a picture of something they like, a picture of their character, damage they think was funny, stuff like that. b:surrender hamsta just posts to much, guess he earned his wall of text

    Yea, the limit is placed on the size of the file of the image, not the text that is used. But large siggies don't bother me anyhow, I just scroll past them. Seems people just want to be lazy and save a second or two from having to scroll.

    If I post after you wrote "/thread" meaning that you ended the thread, that means you did not end the thread, and thus you lie.

    My personal dislike is that while reading a thread, you're receiving small nuggets of useful information, then there are massive chasms in between, due to the excessive signatures.

    Case in point.

    If an option were added (as I mentioned previously) to only display individuals' signatures in their first post in a thread, it wouldn't be an issue really.

    Failing that, I think wafflechan's idea is better than having so called walls-of-text.

    Seriously, some people need to get over theirselves and learn that they can't always have things their way. Star's and Hamsta's signatures do NOT hurt any of you. You're on a blackberry at work and surfing the forums? Well for one, when I am at work I actually work. When I go on break/lunch well, that's MY time. But I can actually live with out the forums during my 9 hour's of work.

    Guess what, here's a novel idea! Stop stressing over a signature! It really won't hurt you to scroll down a bit more. The rare times when I do look at the forums on my smart phone while waiting through the music at the movies, I deal with signatures. It really doesn't hurt me. No point in being a crying about it. There are more important things to focus on than tearing people down.

    Thanks for making snap judgments about my job. I am there for 12 hours, and like you say my downtime/breaktime is MY time. If I choose to check out PWI forums on my BB, and forget about work for a few mins then whatever. You say people need to get over themselves and not tear each other down.....yet you just did that about how I spend any break time at work.

    Many forums limit signature size, because honestly, noone wants to read that 1000 times over. Especially when some of the client base is visiting from a more limited version of the net, like smartphones.
    Its very frustrating trying to read a post and get the info when there's incredible walls of useless text between it all.
    On a 23" monitor, maybe its not big a deal, but on a netbook, or smartphone or whatever, its a bit much.

    If not limiting the size, then the option to disable seeing them at all. Then people can have 200 lines signatures all they want.

    Its a matter of consideration. If you can't see that in any way whatsoever, and choose instead to throw sarcastic remarks back then I don't think you can preach about growing up. Instead of an actual debate on why you, and others, insist on incredibly long signatures, you attack. I've given my reasons as to why I think they should be limited. I've yet to see a point made on the other side other than the people who chose instead to throw witty sarcasm in instead. If you have a valid point, then make it. And the argument "spoons said I'm ok" is not a valid reason as to why.
    I won't reply here anymore unless an actual post about the topic comes up.
