I'm having trouble with my signature so why not change it into 1000 characters or whatever Riako wants it to be but longer than 500 characters

In my opinion, most signatures are already long enough or even too long.
If you put a lot of links or images in your signature, then you can use Link Shorteners, such as the service provided by Google.

I think it should be upto 1000 characters.

Why do you think it should be up to 1000 characters? With 500 characters + url shortening sites, there's more than enough room for just about anything that you want to do, as Riako has already stated.

So if you want to keep pushing for this, a good reason that'll change minds needs to be given other than just stating "it should be" it needs to be "It should be, because..."

With 500 characters, there's enough room to add images, links, and a bunch of stuff, without going insane and without stretching the signature space adding the scroll bar to your signature. (Which I personally think looks sloppy, so I go out of my way to make sure it doesn't show up on my signatures)

With 1,000 characters, all I forsee is people shoving more stuff in their signatures, forcing more scroll bars, and all in all just more of a messy look on the forums. Plus, if it doesn't fit in the signature, there's still your about me to use, which allows more characters to be used.
