AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
yes they used to be allowed. It was before my time.
I think members were putting sigs that were anti other members.
the size of the sigs got way out of control and was affecting how fast pages loaded and such so sigs were removed.. wow i think i just dated myself for knowing that.
The Mods got really ban-happy for a few months about 2-3 years ago. Certain people were banned- some members thought those people were banned unjustly. Those members started lashing out at the mods by abusing the flexibility of the sig function. In stead of creating "better" signature rules and enforcing them, the mods removed signatures all together.
I'd say that's a pretty accurate version of the story.

Lesson learned- no sig funny business!
Man that had to be more than 2-3 years ago... has to be closer to 4-5.
We have all spent too much time on the interwebs forums.
