- andyjohnson0 3y agoPlease no. Too much noise.
- HeckFeck 3y agoIt was said in jest but I think everyone is taking me literally. I liked sigs on older phpBB forums when they were 2-3 lines and just some userbars. Cool back in the day, but they wouldn't really translate to the more minimalist HN.
- ricardo81 3y agotbf it wouldn't be a bad signal for search engines that can understand forum markup. A boon for search is knowing intent and know who wrote something certainly helps in that regard, if a strong enough signal of course. Without knowing who intends what, you basically rely on the topic and words.
- NeoTar 3y agoFrom my time in the dying days of Usenet, I can remember there were compact codes so you could fit as much about yourself into your signature as possible. Something like the old dating ad codes, e.g. GSoH = Good Sense of Humour, but more geeky.
