Forum Signatures

[KripTed]

It would be nice if we could add signatures at the bottom of our names/accounts for the discussion threads. Like pictures and etc.

Please not... This doesn't add any value to discussions. Totally not needed.

If you think so. It does to me. I can showcase whatever I create in my signature. It shows my ability and who knows. Maybe someone might like some graphics done?

The one thing I haven't seen mentioned as a potential negative, is the mobile view of the forums that a lot of people do use. It would probably ruin the layout unless it was straight turned off for mobile (which is fine I suppose) and maybe cause a lot of extra bandwidth for those with limited data thankyouverymuchstupidgreedyproviders.


That said, no to images. Text whatever because then I could just transfer the few bits of my profile here.

Well, I agree to turning it off for mobile, but I however believe pictures should be allowed. Why would I want a text? That's just lame. I understand maybe back in the days of running a 56k modem but we aren't on the days of dial up anymore.

I'm all for showcasing and expressing ones creativity, but I'm not sure if a forum signature is the right place for that.

Realistically you could say the same thing for why would we want images at all? We're not in the 90's/early 2000's anymore haven't we moved on as a society?

But no I just find they add nothing but unnecessary space between posts. Also they tend to break up the flow when reading.

Why not? I understand there are plenty of other places to show off creativity but why not here? The whole point is to broadcast your "creativity" on multiple platforms. But to sit there and think everyone's just gonna be a spammer is a little extreme. We can limit the amount to avoid that. It's just a thought and who knows, it may never happen. It may only be from their store since they solely wanna make money.

Some people do it anyway. This will at least contain their creativity and let us hide it (possibly).

Well, that's a good point.

I find it amusing to see what a person can create. It's their signature, their calling card. What does having images and the year have anything to do with it? If that was the case, memes wouldn't exist and neither would Facebook. So realistically you can't say the same about adding images, however you can say it about people being worried it will eat up so much bandwidth and cause lag, no one is running a 56k modem anymore. I understand maybe not everyone has 1GB though.

Maybe make it so that signatures are invisible by default, and only those who like signatures can change the viewing option to enjoy each other's work.

Actually a lot of people don't even have 25/5 which is intolerable from a civilized point of view.

The part about year was because you mentioned 56k, which people do still use when they can't even get the lowest tier dsl sporting a whopping 768kbps. How they game and/or use Steam well that's an entirely separate discussion.

Abilities? Using a stockphoto (that you hopefully paid for), applying a text and a logo from a game and some photoshop brushes is not exactly something to show off.

Either way, that's what the artwork section is for.
You can still show off by creating an avatar. I hazard a guess and claim I spend more time creating mine than you did spend on your signature.

Because, I can't do this

and have that post as a regular picture at the bottom. There's no BBcode on these forums.

Considering how things have been headed in regards community customization even if you could add a forum signature you most likely wouldn't be able to do that anyway.

As it probably would turn out to be some sort of point-shop purchasable premade signature as every other customization option that's been lately added to the Community.
