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

I think there’s enough noise on the web without bringing back post signatures
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.

ugh. no. please no.
Maybe a blurb on your user page? Show it in a hover? But not on every fckin comment.
no

Yeah, it’s just nostalgia. Signatures are dumb.
The irrationally nostalgic part of me loves this idea.
The rest of me not so much 😅
not a bad idea

As long as there was a profile option to hide other users’ signatures then I’d be fine with it.
Back in the day I made those anime screenshot banners for friends… equal parts cringe as much as awesome.
I’m glad the internet moved away from that, it’s a lot of bloat.
Those banners were sick, the people who could make them were always so popular lol. I remember doing favors for someone in exchange for a custom banner on a forum I used as a kid dedicated to Line Rider.
I really want those cute animated emojis back. Like the yellow and purple one high fiving
They were a borderline necessity on Usenet because there was no protocol linking profiles, just name+email headers. Examples of large ASCII signatures: http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/afw/
After that it became more dubious.
They were kinda fun. Can always fo it as an option you have to turn on to see them. I think custom profile pages should be a thing though, why not.
Tryin to make a change :-\
No
No
honestly i would love this, my favourite part of tumblr is customizing my page. i do agree it should be togglable though.
Not for me, but with how this whole fediverse works I think it would be technically possible to fork Lemmy/kbin/whatever and add that feature and then spin up an instance for yourself where it‘s a thing.
Maybe there even already is a forum with signatures actually which can also see lemmy content, might be worth searching for.
