I was just wondering if the buying/selling of your forum signature was allowed here.

Uh, could you post that in English? I realize it might not be your first language but that sentence is uncompromisable.

Sorry I forgot a "the" in there. To rephrase and maybe make it easier to understand; can I rent out my signature space to other members for money.

What about if he leaves?
Would that be considered a service to the community?
I know I think it would.

the problem with this is that anandtech sells ad space on the forums and we make it a point not to allow interstitials (ads that sit inline in a thread) because they are annoying.

if we let people sell ad space in their own post then presumably they would want to increase their post count so they could increase the visibility of their ad to get paid more money ...

this is not cool.

we do allow linking to your own personal sites in your sig and i don't see a fundamental problem with intra-community stuff like what mosh did ... ... but i'm still going to review the implications of that with Anand ... but really selling your sig to a company who would pay you to advertise for them is not going to be allowed.

I met up with Olds earlier this month.

He looks younger than you. Needs a weedpacker upstairs (inside or out - I will not say:evil:).
