I thought the idea was to create a really nice Gamers Seeking Gamers functionality but making it available only to paid subscribers. If that's a free tool, that would be awesome. There is a lot of potential to making that free...it could bring in a lot more new visitors to ENworld.It always sucks whenever you have something taken away from you regardless of getting something in return. For me, the reason is because I get more use out of my sigs and other people's sigs than I do most of the things that I may get in return. It also seems strange because sigs are such a standard feature for a forum. I'd also be making a big stink about the Search feature, but I just do a google search and can usually find the thread I was looking for. So I never bother to voice an opinion about that.So then why exactly is a sig important enough to be taken away from the general public and made into a paid only feature if you're willing to give us all of this "awesome stuff for free"?Allowing a non-subscriber the ability to send and receive private messages via an Inbox is ok, but sigs are important enough to pay for? Is the only reason you really want to eliminate the sig is so people like me can't advertise a measly website? That's the only logical explanation I can think of seeing as how many current subscribers have stated that they don't even care about sigs and paying for them is not a perk.I've been creating all kinds of reference lists for 3.5 content in Excel and have already had people in the rules forum asking for it. I had planned to add it to my other resources that I have linked in my sig. I just can't figure out why a fan of RPGs like yourself would want to limit other people from providing useful gaming related content via links in their sigs unless you're making money from it.I don't go actively looking for content very often at all. But I have noticed a crapload of sigs while I'm reading posts and clicked them before I finished reading the thread. But that's sure not something I'd be glad to be paying for. Taking it away is just an annoyance and makes me feel bullied into subscribing. Taking anything away seems like a form of bullying into subscribing.</blockquote>
