I mean...................I believe this forum well attract more people by adding sigs .
Look at Extreme skins.They have sigs and have avgs about 500 posts in a day and more.I know its the official Redskins website,but it wouldn't be succeful without the sigs.
Come on guys lets get some Sigs in here atleast Pic Sigs of Sean Taylor because that would tribute him more/

Some people prefer forums with pictures in signatures, others prefer it without. I've always liked that THN doesn't have them.
Perhaps adding pics to signatures would attract more people to the website. The relevant question, though, is always: what
kind of people will be attracted?
No, thanks.

Agreed. The real point of a message board is the messages trying to be conveyed and not the pitcure under the messages.

Look at Extreme skins
No thankyou. Why would I want to do that?
What is probably needed is some method of attracting literate people to the site, and therefore increase the number of threads that don't make my head hurt. Honestly, I enjoy posts that make me think, but I'd rather invest that thought on the topic itself rather than trying to understand what the heck it is that the poster is trying to say.
Oh, and what's with the "we" in this thread? Who exactly are the "we" that would implement this change?

I am not a fan of pictures in sigs but I am in favor of custom avatars.

Not a fan of pictures in the sigs either.
It gets out of hand way too quickly. People start putting in these giant pictures that take up more space then their messages. Threads become dozens of pages long because it's only three posters to a page because they have to fit in these giant pics with each post.
It's annoying.
Never mind that the moderators would have to keep an eye out for vulgur or offensive pics, and that causes a big fight as what may be offensive to one may not be to another. So if the moderators told someone they had to remove a pic, than an arguement would start about whether it's offensive.
If another member thought the pic was offensive then they would complain to the moderators who would have to make judgement calls, etc., etc.
No custom avitars, and no pics in sigs sidesteps all of that headache.

I was thinking about just banning every last one of you - problem solved.
Isn't it amazing how the ones who want pretty pictures are almost always the ones who can't make a name for themselves with what they
say or type.
I guess if this was a picture board instead of a message board - I would actually care.
Bah... probably not.

You could just stay there... we'll struggle ever so much to get by without your stunning insight and interpretations, but I'm pretty sure that ultimately... we will manage.

Not sure that's quite right, BH... P2S has pretty much made a name for himself with his "mastery" of graphic communication...

We (THN) are still in the process of setting up new parameters for all custom avatars. This means you will have to wait Skinna Mob, till this is complete.
Other more pressing priorities easily outweigh getting members new custom avatars.
We will let everyone know (Site News and Welcome) when those parameters have been established.
Thanks for your patience.
