While browsing through old topics on Pixel2life one of the things that has caught my eye are the signature banners that a lot of our members had. Hell, a significant portion of the graphics content shared on the forum over the years has been signatures and avatars. I recall frequently posting my own designs and switching out my personal signature far more often than was probably necessary.
Maybe i'm just browsing the wrong forums, but I don't believe any of the ones I frequent these days have/allow that feature. Most don't even have a signature area, and if they do, it's limited to a single line of text. I can think of a number of reasonable explanations for this: websites are more conscious of the data usage they inflict on mobile users, load times are more important than ever when it comes to SEO, and it's extremely time consuming to moderate thousands of signatures for inappropriate content.
Are there any large forums you browse that still offer this small creative outlet to their users? If so, is it still implemented in the same way as it's done on Pixel2life and other forums of the past, or have they taken a new approach?
