I was wondering how comes there are no sigs on this board?

 

Because they increase download times and use up bandwidth when all 20 posts on a page have one. I believe there have been numerous votes against them. They are for people suffering an identity crisis.

 

Ok. I just think it helps put a car to a name...

 

I do agree. Some sigs look great to. But you have to think of the people on slower connections and those who don't really care about anyone else.

Just host a picture somewhere and stick it in your post.

There was a lot of debate about sigs and avatars a while back and it was the choice of the community as a whole to leave the board without them as they liked the clean and simple look that we had and currently do have.

As an example your sig is 47742 bytes. If 20 different people posted with sig like that each page would be an additional 954840. Almost a meg makes for a slow board for a 56k user.

 

Before we go off on one about cacheing and technical stuff, the answer has already been given: the board was asked, and the board said "no thank you".

Cheers,
