Just an update...
It seems that our hero is growing up a bit and learning important life lessons.
Apparently, he has turned sigs off on his show and replaced them with his links...at least till the poster has 200 posts ...lololol...
So, finally a board where postcount really does matter...lolololol
So, hopefully our hero has learned an important lesson. He spent many a post badgering his members to put sigs in, replaced them with his sigs when they didn't comply. Now, he is reversing course (full speed ahead)...
lolololol.... Took you long enough to get the clue man...... lololololol.....
(it will probably be a while again until he forgets to block unregistered viewers, which is what he will do when he sees this...but as soon as he leaves his shields down again I will check up on our main character)
From da board:

The promo's and pay per post make the place more lively. I hardly think anyone is here just for those.
Selling sigs, I've always encouraged that, it's another way to increase the revenue for those who do sell them and great exposure for the advertisers who get seen. I think a board without sigs is doomed to failure. Sigs are on just about every successfull board.

What happened last week was too many people were joining making 1 post or 2 and just sig spamming. This is a community not a spam board.
Thank you

The reason is spammers, the message threash hold has been set to 200, meaning you have to have posted 200 times (not new threads but posts in general) to be able to:
1) Priveate Message Anyone
2) Put a sig in your sig spot
3) may be more, but I'm not sure
I see you only have posted 88 times, you need 200 post's, and it would be great if it was post either related to the thread or a "conversational" New thread, pointless threads or post's are just stupid, and so is spamming.

Sarettah:
They also dilute the post quality as undoubtedly some folks are just posting for the cash.

Sarettah:
again, it also dilutes the quality of the posts because you end up with folks just posting for sigview rather than to participate. Yes most board have sigs turned on but I only know of one other that I associate myself with that encourages the pay for sig space viewpoint. The board where the most seasoned vets hang out discourages the paying for sigspace ar carrying banners other than your own.

Not even an announcement about sigs being turned off
Funny how all our sigs are turned off, but you can promote the sigs you want.
Sorry I feel short changed and even more so with serious partners banners in place of my sig.
Let me know when sigs are back on and i'll start posting again - typical we all get punished cos of some other spammer.
Funny how other boards seem to deal with it.

you should be able to modify it, as your post number is greater than 200

It was changed even though my post number was great than 200. I dont see a signature spot.. where exact do I make this change now? and why didnt anyone see this in the first place or did you just do it to all accounts?
I changed a picture spot with a 150x150 max size allowed and it hasnt made a diference here at all !!!
Can somone kindly get ahold of me on icq so I dont have to explode on the board?
