People are selling ad space in their signatures. You can cut off signatures in your profile settings if you don't want to see them.

No they're not.  It's a contest hosted by BFL.  Can someone post the link?
It's not BFL  :D

As you can see you will be seeing the signature a LOT over the next four weeks.

And the annoying signature again:

Sweet!  Thanks for the tip.  Now that annoying bozo who makes 1000's of pointless 1-line posts to freeload on advertising will annoy me no more.  I forgot who that was, but naturally the guy was a blazing Libertarian and there seem to tendency for them to freeload at every opportunity.  Oh ya, ~imsaguy I think.

No, Atlas is a little suicidal drama queen hermaphrodite that makes himself entertained by sturring up shit on this forum while rubbing his peniclit.

Bitcoinporn was an annoying bozo who makes 1000's of pointless 1-line posts to freeload on advertising his pornography selling sig-line.


Ah, thanks for clearing that up :)

Actually BFL is doing it to.

Sorry to annoy everyone - honestly I am. Just trying to find ways to level the playing field since BFL monopolized the last week of auctions (I was attending my grandmothers funeral and missed the bid)


and now since I started the signature thing - they are too so its pretty much a run away freight train at this point...


Anyways Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make it even a little bit less annoying.

I remember Atlas's rather disgusting gay porn, and that Bitcoinporn's wares were much more to my liking.  I guess my straight status prejudices me to some extent in this regard though.

[Note to less long-time users:  Atlas put up some site for one of his countless earth-shattering ideas and the SomethingAwful goons got access somehow and defaced it with gay porn.  That's the way I remember it at least.  Thinking back, I think that one of them bought the domain I guess.  One way or another it was pretty funny.]

Thank you for the hint, done it!

To safe the next guy a few seconds:

"Profile" - "Modify Profile" on the left - "Look and Layout Preferences" - set "Don't show users' signatures."

Aaaaah.. Soo much better now!

All signatures are now chopped off at 42 points so the ad this week will have to be made smaller.

Check it out, see, smaller, your wish is Theymos' command:

Haven't BFL been paying people to change their signatures for quite a while now?
