    What's the History of it all?

            There was a program that paid you for sig impressions.... I can't remember the name right now... Way before ARS...

            After that a few companies started buying sigs and the sig market was born, along with the sig whores of course...

            I'm just a newbie.

              4 or 5 years ago I paid any affiliate 25 bucks to put us in their sig. Those were the cheap old days ;)

                And FREE isn't cheap enough for you?

                    I don't think so... A lot of surfers are baking from their sigs right now like squisypimp....

                    Not to mention all the contest threads that are usually won by surfers...

                          I explained this already a few times. How the sig hype on gfy got started:

                          I had a small contest out of boredom and i said the winner would get my sig for a month or whatever. Nobody was interested i think because back then being in someones sig isnt what it is today. Anyway, someone won, dont recall who.

                          He didnt claim his prize so i made a post asking that person what he wanted in my sig. Sleazydream read that post and thought i sold my sig. So he then made a thread about it and thats when it all started.
