No wonder they let us move over here
If it weren't for the Priller contingent alongside Gio and Kwackers ther'd be no one here

I was just thinking the same Andy.
Still never mind we'll liven things up for them, and it's quite nice here, especially when you change the boardstyle to subSilver and it feels just like 'ome.

A lot of them buggered off to Torquesite, when we had problems with the forum software. IMO they're not missed.
What we need is new blood, which I see you lot have brought by the urn.
I need some stickers for my bike as well (currently looking at getting some done privately)

I can't use pigs liver, causes all sorts of eye probs for me. Its why I imagine they use this black and mango colour as stock (nice aren't they

(the mods and Hammy that is))

I use the silver version (and no it isn't faster

)
But only cos it's easier to hide at werk, well it wouldbe if it wasn't for Gio's huge sig.

I suspect the introduction of sigs and the loss of many daytime surfers are not coincidental.
skiving gits.

Maybe VD needs to be told that we have sigs now

.
Mind you I've noticed that a lot of bike sites now aren't as busy as they used to be during the day.

Nail. Head.
There has been a loss due to subjects raised by the previous administrators. (RS doesnt suffer from these now.)
We have seen a distinct reduction since the introduction of sigs. however as no-one has passed comment, the sigs have stayed.

It's what you make it.
I have noticed the increase in page loading times since the sigs have increased in size... and am currently monitoring it. I have recieved no comments on sigs on/off so theyre on. If people need them off, all they have to do is mention it and reasons. Friday 'Sigs Day' is wholly possible to reimplement for those who work..

I'm not worried if they stay or go or are only a Friday or weekend only thing.
I'd also have thought that having sigs might not be good for those who connect at work.
So may I pass the buck on any input now

Evening all.
Personally I'd prefer to see no sigs (I'm assuming that's what you are calling the pictures at the bottom of some posts?) They just get in the way if you are looking for information or advice. What with cut and paste quotes and big sigs some posts take up half a screen and you really have to look for anything new being said.
However I understand that some of us like them and am wondering if it is possible to have them limited to posts in the virtual bar perhaps?
Oh boy, here I go with my first post on the new site and it's a moan...

It's not possible to limit sigs to particular areas, it's either all or nothing unfortunately.
Welcome to ARS! (and RS)

If there is no profile option to switch sigs off, and it isn't possible to have them off in just the work friendly silver skin, then I guess it's down to a general consensus of yay or nay.
I have no personal feelings either way, but do believe the user base has changed because of em.
Not even commenting on whether the change is for the better or worse.

Why not make them a certain size, like 100x100 pixels, means you can have one without taking the piss
