Poll: Getting Rid of Gamertags and Linked Images in Signatures

It's a tough choice, I really enjoy the gamertag signatures and think they're fairly neat.

I can look at people who are posting in the same topics I post in, or I can wade through the number of worthless members who put gamertags in and find out what they're playing that way...

Ease of Use imo.

Kill the non-TNL hosted sig images. Good idea.

If someone's too stupid to grab their sig pic and upload it to TNL, they deserve a barren, lifeless signature.

Anyhow, the leaderboard displays a person's gamertag when you mouse over their name, is there anyway to do that in a sig? Or perhaps make it so it does that when you mouse over a person's XBL Gamertag in the info above their posts? That might alleviate the problem.

I was thinking of adding some kind of link to the Gamer Tag listing found under the user's avatar. Adding a mouse-over effect like that is a great idea. I'll look into the pros and cons.

Do that, I've seen it used on WoW forums for items and shit (But not RF, because we're low-rent slackers).

A happy medium imo.
