I should go on signature strike too!

Anyway the original thread I moved to the forum support forum since it pertained to the "forum". I know that many sites either don't allow any sigs at all like RCG while some had offered short ones. After MUCH browsing here on RCU the length of some of these sigs was getting out of hand. It slows page loading times and the clutter makes it harder to read down a page and requires significantly more scrolling.

The limit makes the page easier to read, less cluttered, less scrolling, less advertising/spam abuse and I'm sure some benefits I have not mentioned.

You can say most of what you need to with the new limits and if you want to list your planes, cars, engines, etc then go to our user reviews section and give a rating on a product. Then when a member clicks your profile he can see the stuff you rated and know what you owned AND what you thought about it.

Overall I think it makes for much easier reading and enjoyment of the forums and I know it is not a bad thing since the pushback on this has been so small. I got more pushback when changing colors!

I allowed upgraded members to have a couple extra lines and characters since there are very few upgraded members in relation to our total membership and of those very few had sigs more than 125 chars. Before we allowed 6 lines. Even upgraded members (and me) are limited to 4 total.
