Remember signatures? I think it's about time those made a comeback. (kbin.social)

Maybe I'm just feeling nostalgic for forums. Maybe it would clutter up the comments. What do you all think?

It's interesting to put it this way, 'cause a good signature (which I know, were probably in the minority) can sometimes improve signal and reduce noise by automatically including relevant pointers/info in each post so as to avoid repetition of questions/tips/etc.

Or in other words, an unironic version of, "My "Not involved in goofs" shirt has a lot of people asking questions already answered by my shirt," but with signatures.
