Pretty tacky way, but I guess you could just replace:

postbit template:

		<if condition="$post['signature']">
		<!-- sig -->
			<div>
				__________________<br />
				$post[signature]
			</div>
		<!-- / sig -->
		</if>

With:

		<if condition="$post['signature']">
		<!-- sig -->
			<div>
				__________________<br />
				$post[signature]
			</div>
		<!-- / sig -->
		<else />
		<!-- no sig -->
			<div>
				__________________<br />
				&nbsp;
			</div>
		<!-- / no sig -->
		</if>

Edit: Nevermind. I didn't understand what you meant. You want it so their current signature would work for those first posts that people usually have when they don't have a signature, right? I think that could be as easy as taking out the option to allow a signature, set it to 1 so that it's always enabled, and then run a query on your database to change all showsignatures in the post table to 1 that are currently 0. I can toy with that tomorrow if someone else doesn't get to it first.
