Sig Whores, What Do You Think?

Simply put 'sigwhores' are a huge asset to a board. The more posts, the more popular a board seems, and the more people visit it. While I hate the idea of 'sigwhores' or 'postwhores' ..... unfortunately thats the model that seems to work.

Greenguy & Jim is #6 on Boardtracker without sigwhores and without paid posting.

IMO that speaks volumes.

That's an interesting though becasue I visit 5 or 6 boards daily and none of them allow sig whores.

Isn't using sig whores to make a board seem more popular is kind of like using CJ2 to make a TGP seem more popular?

A few people posting only to get their sig out may be a good thing but the bulk of board needs to have something real to get my time.
