I'm a recovering forum junkie. I have seen plenty of forums with and without signatures. People go off topic on every forum I have seen.
I generally like sigs, it is like wearing a t-shirt or having a bumper sticker. It tells you a little bit what people are about. I can tell when people are posting just to sell something, so I just ignore those sigs.
