that's because when the old forums were moved to the new ones ... the signatures stuffed up ... note the dates.

Yeah, it was because of the old forums.

The old forums inserted the signature as part of the person's post. There was no discernable way of the new forum import script to detect where the post ended and where the signature began, so it just copied the entire thing, resulting in posts with 2 signatures.
