Not that everyone with a sig has any achievements in it. it's all like some lol bs or images of their characters.
Well some have the Luminary achievements >.> some have primal speed kills, some have all relics achievements but most!
Have irrelevant stuffs for a sig.

Many peoples signatures take up more space than their comments ever do and they are often more sensible.

The japanese don't use signitures because anonymity is a common habbit to them on bbs/forums. which is why many bbs/forums from jp don't require registration. and as reinhart said above ppl object to his sig on 2ch because it goes against this.

On 2ch, a name field is available but seldom used. Entering one's name in the field, unless you do so with an obvious purpose, would identify you as a newbie who does not understand the forum, an administrator, or someone attempting to be a Web celebrity.

The reason for allowing anonymous posting was given in an interview with the founder of 2ch in the Japan Media Review:
Q: Why did you decide to use perfect anonymity, not even requiring a user name?
A: Because delivering news without taking any risk is very important to us. There is a lot of information disclosure or secret news gathered on Channel 2. Few people would post that kind of information by taking a risk. Moreover, people can only truly discuss something when they don't know each other. If there is a user ID attached to a user, a discussion tends to become a criticizing game. On the other hand, under the anonymous system, even though your opinion/information is criticized, you don't know with whom to be upset. Also with a user ID, those who participate in the site for a long time tend to have authority, and it becomes difficult for a user to disagree with them. Under a perfectly anonymous system, you can say, "it's boring," if it is actually boring. All information is treated equally; only an accurate argument will work.

I haven't made a sig for 14 yet. I do still have my very very old one from the era of 75 cap in 11 though!

We all know that the only sig anyone should really have is Reinheart's.
