And ruin the cleanliness of the site presentation with ugly sigs?  God no.  I will never personally understand the need to want such things.

It just seemed weird to me, every other forum I have been registered on they have had signatures.

I think you should at least be able to add your GiantBomb achievement progress.

Nope, there are sites which can make signatures look good; I don't think Giant Bomb is one of them.

This is not every other forum. This is GIANTBOMB 

Sigs are stupid and take space. The mods would then have to enforce a size limit and make sure they are not offensive or stuff like that.

No. It clutters up forums with a load of nonsense that no one cares about. I want to read people posts without having to scroll past a load of bullshit image spam under everyone's posts. We have the expandable mini bio's if I want to know more about someone, we don't need signatures. 

EDIT: Also, @ the comment about achievement progress: to the top right of everyone's posts it details the users level (from quests), their number of achievements, and their gamerscore. Mine says "Level 26 / 857 ACH / 7845 P". If you want to give people additional information, you can do so in your mini bio.

One of the main reasons that I actually post on these forums is because there are no sigs.

No on fire with cheese and sprinkles. Even the date stamp is more writing on the bottom of posts than I want.

Hell, I never did realize there's no sig feature on this site till this post XD. Anyway, sigs are useless, and I never pay attention to those.

As much as I love signatures, no. It's like asking "Should Jeff be less funky?". NO. When the world ends and everyone is cannibalizing everyone else, the world will need a king of proper funk. And only the real Ass Lancer can lead us. Because he knows.

Nope. Signatures can be classy, but most of the time they're simply clutter - especially when people decide to fill up all the available space with images. The mini bio is a great alternative.

@Potter9156:  Or better yet, when that one bad apple of the bunch adds in a mini-rant about a game as his signature, so you have to squint really hard to read it.

It's normally funnier when they link to a larger rant with it. Like, really? Who cars?

Also, I think it might constitute false advertising to call my mini bio "mini".

Only if it comes with the added feature of "ignore all users with a signature".

Leave the signatures as something stuck to the world of emails. Giantbomb & Whiskey Media doesn't need it in the forum posts.

GB haet sigs.

I don't really care either way, but the option to hide them all would be very handy.

Even though I don't want sigs to be introduced... I imagine the Giant Bomb community could come up with some REALLY funny gifs/pictures to put in their sigs, it'd be pretty funny.

Well after seeing all of the opinions I can definitely say that I am against signatures also.

No, it makes the forums look messy. They don't really serve a purpose, either.

Mind blown, I literally never noticed that.

Also I really really don't want signatures.
