After posting, you then feel the need to repeatedly put your name at the bottom of each and every post.
Do you think we're in any doubt as to who wrote your post with your name at the top left of entry?

Do you think it marks you out as a cool individual, somehow different to others?
Do you think it adds gravitas to a post?

I don't get it, why do you insist on doing that?
"It's a signature" - no, it's pointless as your signature is your name anyway with a tagline.

SR's system of tag's is perfect.
Some sites give you a massive text-box which people fill with loads of crap about what games they have. Do they realise no-one cares?

Anywho, I sign my new topics like this:

Thankyouverymuch,
FFF

And have never signed an in-topic message I've posted.

God yeah, some people have like 4 pictures as their signature. It gets out of hand.

It could be worse.

Some forums allow HTML signatures.


You get a flood of pictures and captions under EVERY POST.



It especially takes the P when you consider that half of these posts will merely state something as worthwhile as "yeh good point hahahaha" before filling the rest of the page with their "cool" signature.

I put my REAL name at the end of long posts (which tend to never appear from me) and pleads for help.

But that's just me....
