An idea re signatures on mb
An idea re signatures on mb
Personally I think some people are taking the piss with their signatures ... multiple large over the top images promoting nights and whilst it doesn't really impact the experience of using the site, it adds shitloads of clutter to a site that is supposed to be free of that.
has anyone here - lucas etc - ever thought of disabling images in sigs and instead having a banner on the top of the screen that promoters can buy for a fee?
this fee could go to hosting costs and whatever other maintenance/dev costs/hours are put into the site. obviously the ads wouldn't be irrelevant shit - it'd be essentially the same stuff people are putting in their sig for free.
am i way off? obviously this is just an idea and i doubt lucas or lynt would go for it ... but it seemed to me an easy and sensible way to cover some costs - fund growth.

I think I agree, images in signatures makes the site feel cluttered.
There was some discusssion about it here:

(As per the "Why?" thread, I'm not moving this thread here to be a bitch. It's -really- helpful for me to keep all this feedback in one spot).

i don't think images in sigs are a problem, if done tastefully; e.g., I think lynt's sig is a lot better than quite a few of the text-only sigs.

Hate that thing. I'm over it calstro..
As for sigs, i don't think anyone here is taking the piss. Maybe instead of removing them, just have an option to switch it off?
but there are only so many times you can watch a human head explode before you sustain some sort of permanent psychological damage...
