    The question is...who has been here long enough to remember the signatures. Especially the really long ones? And the collective meltdown when they were removed!

    Yeah. People completely lost their **** over signatures.

    i still miss mine.

    Because as a gainer, my ticker is redundant, and MFP refuses to fix the issue!!

    I don't remember that. That must have been after I started using MFP, but before I discovered the forums. (It's what I refer to as my Most Awesome Time on MFP...oh, the good ol' days.)

    No, you do not. Trust me, you most certainly do not.

    My weight only fluctuates within a range of 5 pounds. No matter what I do. Literally, no matter what I do. I've decided this is where my body wants to be and that's just the way it is. So having it show up with every post just makes me mad all over again. It's still on my profile, though...

    Because they are ultimately irrelevant to others.

    When you ultimately regret this decision, and no doubt you will, just remember that I tried to warn you.

    Yeah, I liked my signature. And the collective frenzy that happened when they were taken away was actually amusing. Some of those signatures though, they had ginormous pictures that I do not miss.

    What does it really matter?. Some people don't want to nor care to. I don't care either way if people don't want to show me their tickers

    Weight loss isn't my goal, so showing mine would be pointless

    This is a classic case of a Hater ... not to be confused with a troll (who is in essence a cousin of sorts). This being fixates on something he deeply wishes he could be apart of but acts aloof to throw off suspicion. Its ok .. when your old enough and have a dirty mind your welcome to ask to join too. :)

    On the topic: I show my ticker ... with a mask on cause im shy :D

    because i have a history of ED and focusing too much on numbers is dangerous for me :) nothing to hide, but it's not necessary for me personally that that is public and in my face all the time

    until two days ago I didn't know how to get a ticker. i actually thought since i was new and had lost no weight yet i hadn't "earned" a ticker in some way. yes that's silly but newbie here so....sorry.

    anyway i also didnt weigh myself till recently and was justifying and searching for a way to avoid it and rely on soemthing else for progress like pant size or inches or something because i cannot be trusted with a scale in my house i'll weigh daily and cry almost as often. so maybe that's it for some people.

    I think it's just a personal choice for people. I don't assume that most people care what my ticker says, but I add it to my posts just in case it matters to someone when they're reading my post. It doesn't bother me when other people don't show their's though. I just assume either they are on the site for different reasons than me or they might have their own personal reasons for not sharing it on the forums.
