But OP, you've apparently been here longer than I have, and this topic has been discussed multiple times over the years. Why are you asking a question like this? Did you miss all of the threads that discussed sig campaigns and the effect their removal would have on the forum? Did you miss the conclusion that regardless of what would happen, Theymos has no plans on banning them? Are you the original owner of your account?
original owner yes, haven't paid much attention to crypto for a few years or read this forum in a while and it occurred to me that 99% of the posts contain this signature spam including people with join dates older than mine that i would expect to be rich and not need to, wondered if they are the thing keeping it alive as this type of oldschool forum has mostly died off with everyone moving to reddit/twitter/streams
