Well, you can put your system info in your profile and then it'll free up some characters for quotes.
Who has 921 characters in their signature?

Maybe someone who mentions the phrase "heavily modified" at least twice??

You can create a graphic and use that in your sig... and the graphic can have loads of words in it!
I must say that I have no idea at all who could be flouting the system limits so brazenly though

Marco's sig (including spaces) is 963 characters according to the word count function of Open Office. Mystery solved!
Perks of management, indeed.

That's what they said when they opened up that dinosaur Theme Park - and we all know how badly that turned out.
Oh wait that was a movie wasn't it?

Hahaha... I'll see if we can raise the character sig limit for members
The reason I use my signature to list my system is so that those who are interested can see at a glance what my system consists of without having to go hunting for it in my profile - and I list it in such detail so that people know all the components I use instantly without having to ask.
I don't know about others here, but I very rarely read people's profiles unless I have to for some reason, otherwise I usually can't be arsed.
Ideally, I'd like everyone to list their system (along with their first name) in their signature for the same reason, so that at a glance when reading someone's posts, you know their first name, where they come from and what system they have, as this both engenders a sense of community and allows others to relate to their system in some way, often saving needless questions during discussions.
However, real first name aside, the content of signatures is left up to people to decide for themselves
