Devil is Double is Deuce and Joker always trumps Deuce.

It's a website that turns long URLs into shorter ones. It saves character space in sigs. Problem is, you have no idea what the link is. It could take you to a chapter page or -blam!-.

Tinyurls help a lot in sigs. I use them, but I understand why some people don't like them.

What is with these things? My guess is its a site with a "hosting" format. I've seen many members with links, when I put my arrow over it, the bar says it's page link is "tinyurl --something--". When I click it, most take me to bungie pages. Is this some way of hiding the site that the link is really to? If so, then these "tinyurls" could be a problem.

I'm just saying, it could violate bungie's rules. If someone had a link to a site with adult content that was link named: "Join the group, snipers 101" or something; thats not good. The true page would be covered up and it could be any site.

I know there good to use to save sig space, but abusing there abilities would be breaking bungie rules.
