Yes bring on the huge animated gifs in the signature and a whole essay about what gaming rig people have.


No I like the forums as streamlined as possible.

No. No. A thousand times NO.

Personally I think they gave in too easily on setting up a white version of the site. GB is a BLACK site with NO SIGS!

(and here is where I complain that they don't offer black versions of the Screened, Tested and AnimeVice sites {Yay for ComicVine black site! [I give the main Whisk(e)y site a pass, brown is cool.]})

I'd like that option.

And if anyone didn't like the way sigs look, there could be an option to turn them off.

Signatures? That's the worst idea I've ever heard. No offense.

Edit: Yes, worst than all atrocities against humanity since the dawn of time combined. That's really bad.

You have your profile page for that if someone is interested in knowing more about you.

Stupid forum clutter. I don't care about your gamerscore or some song lyrics you like or a picture of something dumb. Certainly not after every single post.

Fuck no. Sigs on any forum get out of hand extremely quickly.

We already have the mini-bios, where people can throw whatever junk they feel like. It's basically the same thing, but we're not forced to see your shitty Xfire or XBL/PSN banner.

No, it can be confusing at times from telling the diffrence between what they've posted an a sign, they make everything all cluttered and messy. You do have the See Mini Bio section though so go write your "Signiturae" in there, now good day to you sir

Signatures look terrible, almost all the time. They usually just end up making threads look like cheap Viagra ads.
Besides, if you really want a sig, why not make your own?

There should have been an option with something like "text only" but then you'd still have assholes making ASCI sigs.

The person who likes to make them in me says yes.
The person who likes to browse the Giant Bomb forums in me says no. :/

No. It's always so annoying to see someone with this huge signature for their one man game site that's ridiculously garish.

I vote NO. Like other members have mentioned there are ways to get the persons information and contact them. Also it looks cleaner without them.

I vote for no / never / please don't

 

Signatures are obnoxious and only promote spam. They take up way too much screen space, and are a form of ego stroking that I don't think any internet forum needs.

What's with the "take up way too much screen space" stuff?
Signatures does not mean that they HAVE to be giant and horribly phothoshopped images.
It could be text only and at the same time only allow for 25 characters. 

Not that I want signatures but they don't have to take up that much space.

I absolutely abhor signatures so no.

I don't even like having peoples' levels and gamerscore in the top right even though it's pretty subtle. As discrete as it is I just don't like what it represents.

I'm at least glad this community is smart enough to not equate post count or level to intelligence or social class. "
That's a joke right because that sadly happens often.

On this site? I've never seen it, and I've been around since Giant Bomb launched. Maybe I need to read more political debates in Off-Topic. "
Hey, another guy who's been there since pre-giantbomb, awesome! 
But yeah it happens here too, not as often as some other sites but that's because most of the people that actually use the post count-card are the people who recently hit the 1000 mark or are still at 1000. 
It can't be avoided though since Giantbomb is popular so all kinds of people will show up here.
