I thought it was 8?

also, how many lines does a quote box take up (for my own education so I don't break the sig rule)

A single line quote takes up a total of five lines, which is why it's usually preferable to not use them, especially if you want to quote multiple people. Counting everything, your sig appears to be 7 lines: 5 total for the quote, one for the space, and one for the bit under your quote.
