YES! Listen to John... send me stuff for FIRST Historians! Thanks for the plug
I agree with John, though. Short signatures are much better than long signatures. I only list accomplishments from the current season, or in the off-season, the immediately previous season. I think if you want to do that, that's fine, but any more is excessive. Same thing with images... a small banner about your team or something is cool. Huge pictures aren't. Any more than 80 vertical pixels (double the size of mine) is probably too much.
My old way of judging this used to be the left hand panel in vb2. If a one-line post, plus signature, was longer than the left-hand panel, it was too long. That translated to something like 6 or 7 lines worth of signature, when viewed at 1024x768 (a good reference resolution these days). ]
So, I propose a guideline: If your signature takes up more than 6 or 7 lines of text would... it's too long. I'm sure Brandon could come up with a very strict limitation on signature length if it gets too bad, so maybe it's time for some self-policing of this before it gets out of hand.
