Wasn't it TCG who had a bunch of extra money they had to write off, so they started paying people 25 cents a post?

I wouldnt mind if all sigs would be disabled...this wont happen though.

If GFY did want to clamp down on sig whores then all they would need to do is stop links in sigs from being clickable. This would mean that everyone could still have a URL in their sig but webmasters would actually have to copy and paste the URL into their browser to view the site.

That way you have the best of both worlds, you can still know what sites webmasters run and it makes sigwhoring more or less pointless because they'll only be able to drive a fraction of the traffic to the sponsor they are promoting in their sig

What program was the first to pay?

What's the History of it all?

No idea who started it, but it rescued many boards from extinction and - for better or worse - made a board like GFY possible. Let's face it... probably fewer than 5% of the posts on this or any other board would appear if sigs were banned and/or people were not paid to post.
