What do you get out of signatures?

[Mark]

I like straightforward sigs that don't make me think too much.

I haven't seen a sig here at EN World yet that has bothered me because of what it said, or how long it was etc. I actually like seeing them - had some good lol moments, and been linked to many interesting things via them. If there were none, I would feel I was missing put on a big part of the "community" aspect of these (any) forums.

As for myself, I just link to various (D&D related) projects of mine here at ENW. On a Web Developer forum I will link to my portfolio, etc. In general, I just make sure they are related to the subject matter.

I really just don't get it

Why do you have a picture under your user name?

Same thing, more or less.

I like to think my sig provides a moral compass for those who've lost their way.

So are sigs are like bumper stickers now, eh?

And while we're on the subject.... Woas, what game is that from? I've been wondering for a good year now!

StarTropics. You'll need to bust out your 8bit NES for this one!

So I ask the community; what pleasure does anyone derive from having all their intelligent statements end with ridiculous comments (usually taken out of context so that most likely any reader won't even understand)?

I use mine as a "signature". The signature becomes a sign, the sign becomes a warning.

It is by humor alone I set the internets to motion.

I've been on ENWorld for a lot of years now (since 2001) and for the last 5 of those years have had sigs turned off. It really became necessary when a large number of posters began adding lots of stuff to their sigs - multi coloured, flashing text is not something I ever need to see. I really don't feel I'm missing anything.

This.

I have had signatures turned off ever since i set up my account here years ago.

I initially did it for speed (I was on dialup back in the day) but I continue to keep it off because I don't feel I am missing anything and in fact the occasional time I have browsed the forums without being logged in (thus my preferences to turn off sigs wasn't in effect) I was distracted to the point of being annoyed by a small handful of sigs, so I am pretty sure I wouldn't want to turn it on -- i'm just not used to seeing them and therefore don't want to and don't have a need to.
