While I appreciate the problems with sigs causing the page to slow down in loading time, I must admit that having this switch to no sigs occuring right when I am in the middle of a sig-making contest very discouraging.

After all, the inverse of JessiA's comment about sigs is: Why have a sig contest here if we're not going to be able to display our work?

I must admit that if this is a permanent situation my time spent on gotwoot will be dropping dramatically, and I will take myself and my signature work to some other board.
