I guess when you think of it, the message boards I started out at didn't have cool features like signatures and avatars and stuff like that. They were basic ... text only, no ability to add images or anything like that. You didn't even have to join first to post, you'd just post away. In those days maybe lots of people just signed their names I think.
So on top of what I previously said, it just became habit, and one I'm not about to change.
I never really thought of the signatures as a place to sign your name though. I always thought of them like a footer to your post, where you can put cool banners and quotes.
