Maybe you should join better servers. I'll also add that this was common back in the forum days too. Most admins would just... admin the site.

Wrong on both counts.

I did not present it as an "opposite to social media" - I presented it as a counter to the idea that we've lost the personality GP is talking about
- BeFlatXIII 11mo agoYou're one of the 1% who reads profile bios.
- squigz 11mo agoOf course, because the alternative - that they're wrong, and more people actually do read bios - couldn't possibly be true. In any case, I see no reason to believe any higher % of people paid any particular attention to forum signatures back in the day.
