Hows about a signature in the profile? It could include links to other boards and sites. And reveal a little character!

This has been discussed many times before and the overwhelming majority of people say nay to this idea. You could try learning someones character from their posts though. It's probably far more accurate than reading repeated witticisms.

I despise the mile long signatures. there was this annoying beast woman who insisted on quoting everything clever shed ever read in her 40 odd years and dragging it along behind even the shortest of posts. it quite literally took up the entire screen and then some

Well, this would a sig in the profile, not in the posts themselves... and to be honest, I kind of miss the old profiles, which did allow links to homepages and even images...

Can't say I miss the little "from" that used to appear with every post, though, which some people used as a de facto sigfile. "Streets like a jungle" indeed--and no, Fly, yours was no worse than anybody else's (including mine): it's simply branded into me poor brain through sheer repetation...

Hahaha. I would put that quote in my livejournal if I weren't fearful of beast-womanish silent wrath. I think my overwriting has bored her of me, though.

I miss the profile with pics, too.

I think in profiles it might be fun...but in posts, we've been there.

"bored now."

It's definitely one of my plans to extend the profiling system so that it's more useful and more fun. So bear with me on that one...
