Most signature content is stored on a different server, so removing signtaure content wouldn't put a dent in the problem.

Would banning SE spiders help. Your robots.txt already disallows quite a bit. How about banning by them by IP?
I have to see if theres a way to disallow them during certain times. Having the site spidered between 6pm->1am eastern (being our peak time) is a bad thing. I'll have to investigate.

Is there a way to detect user inactivity? I try not to, but I know I have left CD up and unattended. Is it possible to warn then sign-off inactive users?
If you aren't clicking things, the server isn't affected by you. The forums automatically forget about your presence after 15 minutes of inactivity, too (well, kind of).
