Because someone got tired of seeing signatures longer than the average post. I don't remember who said that, but I remember reading something to that effect.

Yeah, you definitely can.  KnacK recently lobbied to get the signature size increased btw, so it's now something like 4-500 characters.  Most of us have them disabled anyway...

You can just create a rule to limit the height. My forum has that. Most forums SHOULD have it... ugh... I hate when forums let 5000px height signatures run free like Willy.

The real reason we can't have images in our signatures is because we must first master the supreme skill of painting a picture with mere words, ninjas must conquer the difficult path before they are given the privilege of using an easier one.

This is what sets us apart from everyone else. If you don't like it, leave, go become a pirate with Kilo, with his beloved torrenting and all. ^-^

THe reason why there are no pix in sigs is that some immature n00bs took advantage of the opportunity......

Well yes. My forum doesn't hard limit the size of signatures (at least not height), but when you do edit your signature, you will be warned very clearly that your signature is too big in dimensions. In posts, there's also a red box that appears under signatures (and it doesn't add height to the page) that warns if a signature is oversized. It takes a moderator three clicks and no typing to remove a signature and give a reason with an automatic PM.

In addition, there's also a *manual* check for filesize (<=100 KB) on the signature edit page, and I have a script that is run occasionally that removes signature that are too large in filesize.

The automatic dimensions check has so far worked exceptionally well. I haven't seen an oversized signature for a few months. Before, it was a common problem.

It's not file size that was the issue, it was content.

Nothing's stopping anyone from posting porno on threads, eh?
