The 'red' portion is caused due to the information in the 'blue' portion:
Is that what you meant?
Yeah thats what I was referring to.
If we were to sacrifice our avatars, youd probably halve the amount of space used on a page. Which means sigs could theoretically be larger (by a small margin) in both dimensions AND in filesize, since the avatar no longer needs to be loaded.
EDIT - You could alternatively make User information (date of join, location, postcount, system specs etc) all as a drop down feature to save space. OR this information could be removed entirely by option in the user CP.
The effect is not as dramatic in large posts with the use of quoting other members, but in posts with single lined comments (arguably the most common posts made on TPU) the amount of blank space is quite impressive.
