winkler1 suggested this as a fun option for avaters-captions and pictures, all day long-

Secondary to The Choggs/Winkler1 suggestion, I'd be open to .sigs if AND ONLY if I have the ability to hide them. You can have your fun, I can has screen space kthxbai

Yeah, I'm not so hot on this idea. Further clutter is to be avoided, methinks.

Can you not just put whatever representative quote you like on the personalized page you get when you become a charter member?

It does lead to an increasing dissemination of a certain quote throughout the comment database. I think an avatar and screen name suffices.

I like the idea of customising whatever you like for your profile but signitures...they could prove annoying, just my take...

I like the homer god of donuts/duff/war avatar

Oh please no signatures. One of the things that make videosift good as a forum is exactly zero signatures.

Gotta vote no. Even if they could be hidden, it would scare off new members who aren't aware of the option. Maybe if they were hidden by default, it would be okay, but then you're putting forth a lot of effort for what seems to be a rather small minority of users.

No. Not at all. Signatures are incredibly tacky. I hate reading the same damn line 6 times on a page. They're a visual nightmare. That, and I've never seen them not blend in with the comment body. It adds to confusion and clutter.

Not really thrilled over it either, sorry.

BOOOOOOO!!!!!!! NOOOO. Like MG said, the same damn thing over and over and over and over and over and.. well you get the point. As you may or may not know, my wife just gave birth to our first... so she and and sometimes myself, would frequent whattoexpect.com and those comment threads were so damn irritating.
