    Yes, because the posts would be higher quality.

    Left the way it's going now, GFY will be dead in 5 years.

      I dunno about you, but I'm here for business #1 and stimulating conversation #2.

      If sigs are gone, the business aspect gets a serious decrease. I can't promote my stuff or that of the companies I represent. Therefore, no need to be here.

          Agree with you, without sigs it will loose its charm

            you alse loose the sigwhores posting. Means the thread you started will stay longer on the first page. And you will still be able to promote your business.

              There's a separate forum for selling junk - maybe this should be sigs-enabled and fucking around & program discussion should be sigs disabled, avatars enabled?

                  I agree...
                  I found so much useful info at other people's sigs (icq, their web sites, new sponsors) and had so much fun reading their funny stuff from sigs...
                  Killing sigs would kill GFY spirit....

                      I've found a lot of great programs to promote through sigs. Mostly smaller niche stuff and solo girls sites that wouldn't have the money to buy advertising but convert great. GFY is a great tool still just gotta know how to use it. If you don't like sigs just disable them.

                          what's wrong with working, living on gfy and taking money from sig, besides all the other incomes?

                            I agree that sigs should stay ... its the posts that need to be monitored.

                            Also, you shouldn't being relying on your sig for business .... you should rely on the thread you create or jump into.

                              I switched sigs off back when Juicy's started taking up about 3 inches of screen, but even before that, as a matter of principle, I would never click on a sig.

                              The reason is that most things people promote are completely run-of-the-mill and that is especially true when it comes to things people can promote with minimal effort: in this context, just by taking a minute or two to set up a sig. Instead, I click on links within text if the text makes the product/service sound interesting, and often just because the poster has gone to the trouble of writing a decent promo piece. That alone makes him/her stand out from the crowd here and might mean they put something extra into their product/service too.

                                no, it won't. GFY is here to stay (unless Playboy closes it)... It's the place where all of us come to, to vent our frustrations, where we find help and where we simply hang out.
                                It's like the neighborhood Irish pub. Without the beer and with a lot more pussy!

                                  JDL seems to be a consistent abuser with an oversize sig and yet the "enforcement" that effects others does not seem to apply to him or other preferred SigWhores. Not to mention the thousands of moronic, thoughtless, uncreative, humorless, boring, and meaningless threads used as an pathetic excuse to whore the "product of the moment" even further.

                                  What would be useful would be an option to the "ignore list" that simply would not display any thread started by the selected "whores". Another thing
                                  would be "equal" and "consistent" enforcement of the sig rules for all GFY posters. I don't agree with pulling all sigs because of a group of "losers & abusers", but that group will continue unless the mods do something.

                                      Some of the sigs people have are really annoying. I turned off sigs a while ago and gfy is a lot easier to read as a result. I can understand promoting your company in your sig, but the sig whores and the idiot see sig posts are just annoying

                                          Just turn them off. Now I just wish I could turn off the whores....like AdultChica and a couple of others.

                                          Her idea on participating in "business threads" is giving her opinion on how good of a person someone is. fucking dumb bitch.

                                              Note before I start, yes, I am flying a big banner in my sig... one of those things

                                              My opinion is this: Sigs should be limited to a very short number of characters, no images, no flash, no "nothing else". If you can't say it in one line, don't say it at all.

                                              sig whoring has turned what was a somewhat useful board into a hellish playpen filled with surfers and college students trying to earn beer money. It is truly sad.

                                                  Sigwhoring is a part of GFY, if you don't like it turn them off
                                                  Can you turn them off?

                                                    If you don't like looking at sigs then turn 'em off in options! I've had mine off for years. Had them off for so long I actually forgot that I turned them off and just assumed that sigs weren't allowed here until I seen this post. So I turn them back on to see what I've been missing all this time and WHOA. It was like trying to read the paper while a clown midget was doing back flips on the left of me and a 10 man band was playing jingle bells on the right. While nice if you're in the mood, very distracting.

                                                                                          The reason is that most things people promote are completely run-of-the-mill and that is especially true when it comes to things people can promote with minimal effort: in this context, just by taking a minute or two to set up a sig. Instead, I click on links within text if the text makes the product/service sound interesting, and often just because the poster has gone to the trouble of writing a decent promo piece. That alone makes him/her stand out from the crowd here and might mean they put something extra into their product/service too.

                                                                                          get a bigger monitor..
