Is there a reason why signatures are disabled?

Yes.

They are a waste of bandwidth.

and an eyesore....

do we need another form of useless self expression?...no.

No. Keeps things simple. I was once a member of a forum that had stupid large sigs, avatars the size of eggs, and a "points system" with "shop". Needless to say it failed miserably.

I second that, especially the hamster's post. ;)

Apart from that, I would really like to delete/change my sig one of these days, even though it can only be read when viewing my profile.

Yeah, no kidding Dreamwalker. Thank the whoever I don't have to see that much heavy metal bullshit everytime you type some other bullshit. ;)

If the bandwith is the issue then dont use SciForums

I usually don't, but I got suspended from my usual site (totalwar center) for berating the mods for being too oppressive and fucking up my shit. So, here me be, after a long while. :D

the reason signatures are disabled is because gods of sciforums have decided so. Dont question the God's ways or they will punish you dearly.

Wait..! I don't remember deciding anything....

Dont show the signature in the posts but allow them in the Profiles

whats so bad about that ?
