It became more trouble than it was worth on the pond to have to deal with signature selection on every post, and annoying to see someone you can't stand advertising their goods in your posts (even though it was the board putting that in).
Frankly I'm a believer in just leaving well enough alone and letting people do what they want to, since most people around here are adult enough to get the whole thing. When you make a big deal out of something so trivial then it turns into a kindergarten atmosphere.
The one thing I think would be funny, is to only be able to use text signatures -- I'd love to see what sort of creative things people would come up with to get some notice.
