this would actually be a good idea

No it wouldn't for the various reasons posted above.

IMG sigs on other forum websites say hi

IMG sigs on other web forums also look terrible. And slow down loading. And look terrible. If you want sparkly pictures everywhere, use MySpace :3

This would only work out if they're userbar size.

No thanks. In other forums, it always leads to huge space-wasting that is almost always larger than the actual post itself, and makes forum threads incredibly annoying to read through.

I agree with this completely.

I honestly don't see anything wrong with having image signatures. it's already been pointed out they don't have to be big, but theyd efinitely don't have to be tiny, either. Honestly, what's so "annoyihng" about it? Scrolling? We already do that when reading various posts or if a single post is a big big, anyway. Besides, it's not a waste of space or pointless, it's creative expression. You guys should really lthink about some of the positives here instead of narrowing it down with negatives that can always be adjusted. Just look at Miiverse on Wii U... Nintendo allows us to write/draw stuff in our posts, it's somewhat the next best thing to it, so why not image signatures here?

The simple fact is that most people on Nintendolife don't seem to want image signatures, myself included. @LJM pointed it out pretty clearly; other threads that do it don't have the same kind of clean ascetic.

This isn't something I'm indifferent to; it's something I explicitly do not want. Keep it the way it is. I see the positives; it's just that I feel the negatives greatly outweigh them.

How exactly do the negatives outweight the positives when a lot of people saying no havenb't really backed up their reasons why? Lots repeat whgat other people think without backing up their reasons why. Adding image signatures isn't going to make a mess of anything at all. I don't see anypone complaining about avatar images, so it shouldn't make much difference here.

to be honest, I'm glad that NL doesn't allow different fonts and colours for sigs, let alone images. In my opinion the poster's creativity should come out through their actual post, not their sig.

My recent trip to Wiiwarewave has made me extremely against image signatures. That place is a visual mess as-is, it's even worse when half the users seems to have a bunch of clashing images in their signatures, many of which extend outside their comment box. It's a travesty. Please never allow image signatures ever. Thank you.

Avatar images appear to the left hand side of the text. They aren't in your face the whole time you're trying to read the posts. They are little squares on the left hand side and serve a worthy purpose; they let you identify who the heck is talking very, very quickly. Avatars have a purpose, with few negatives. Image signatures have no purpose. They just slow down loading, and make the page twice as long. Plus, I find 90% of the images people choose for their signitures to be pointless.

Most people just post pictures of popular crap, which doesn't show their originality at all. Oh, yes, and 10% of signatures will contain Fluttershy or something equally annoying, You don't want that, trust me.

How about we allow images in signatures as long as they are of scantily dressed women?

This seems most reasonable for everyone.

I think people complained pretty heavily about Gif Avatars. I honestly can't understand why people want image signatures. Why do you want to distract people from your actual posts? Because that's all they ever do. Ever.

This. I can't read and understand someone's post with a flashing GIF of Rick Astley in their sig, or whatever.

No offense, but image signatures "aren't in your face" weither; They simply sit on the bottom of your posts and there's no reason why NL can't make a size limitation if it's such a distraction to everybody. Signatures serve the same purposeI explained in 1 of my previous posts, which is freedom of expression, which really isn't much different than what avatar images do also. Don't tell me what I want and don't want, I do want that because guess what? I already post in a couple other forums that already have them, and really the loading times isn't that big of a deal so they're not as long as you think. So what if people want pictures of "popular crap"? So, we're allowed to have images of "popular crap" for avatar images but not signautres?! Come on now.....
