      there ya go... i dont thinm that a sig is that important. it would help if you are trying to sell something, but it is kind of pointless. edit the whatchamacallit under your name or put whatever in your location...

      i like scrolling down a page and there is no huge letters saying somthing i wolnt really care about in the next 5 minutes.... then it goes back to buy/sell/tradeing... when it might matter

        Personally, I'm glad sigs are gone. They were abused, and caused too many problems between members and mods.

        OTOH, I'd almost be willing to pay to keep sigs off.
        There are three kinds of people in the world: Those who can count, and those who can't.

        With understanding comes understanding.

        If the saying is true that we are what we eat, aren't we all just cannibals?

            Yes, you are correct it wouldn't be hard to regulate since the majority of all of the "bad" signatures were all made by you.

            The idea of donations to be a "Supporting Member" would create a two tier system and that is not fair.

            Even if relaxation of the sig rules to allow two images, one being the supporting member one it would then create further issues with if a "supporting member" over stepped the mark it could create a reaction of "I pay for AO!" you get enough flaming with people's AO registration date being used as a weapon.

              Joe Everyposter: Hey guys, look at my cool new sig I paid for by donating to AO!

              Ben Everymod: Yeah, but it's out of the sig rules, sorry but you're gonna have to change it.

              Joe Everyposter: But I paid for that! You can't take it away!

              1/2 of AO- Yeah, you can't take that away! He paid for it!

              Other 1/2 of AO- But the rules were there the whole time, he knew what to do and he blew it, no sig for him!



              As much as I would like sigs back, paying for them would just not work.

                  I think they have read your post, it's just that they don't like your idea. With all due respect, if your going to present an idea you should know that people don't have to like it.

                  I do think it is a CREATIVE idea. It sounds like livingwithstyle.com, which can be a fun place. BUT I don't think its a idea that would work for AO.

                    I support it. I'd love to have other people pay for me to be on AO. What would change? Someone would have a sig and I wouldn't? Big deal.

                    Remember, sigs don't make people less stupid.

                          AGD is A #1 in my book. This Place on the other hand...
                          I mean really? Look Around.

                          Grammar is fine, minus a hyphen. Punctuation, well you got me clean there.

                                Honestly, settle down. The point wasn't that we didn't want to donate to AO, it's just that if we did that to pay for sigs it would be a bad idea. Most people here would donate regardless, it's just a matter of paying for sigs.
