Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

I have noticed a lot of misleading links in sigs lately that say one thing, and lead to another.

The most common link type is the one that talks about Halo groups, sites, et cetera and leads to one of the online click games that tell you "so and so has eaten your brain" or "you have been enrolled in so and so's army".

Are these type of links something that is allowed on Bungie.net or not?

Also, a word of advice, everyone should got to tinyurl's website and turn on the link preview feature. It can help a lot.

Read about the Forgotten Spartan I Program
Butane: To protect the world from devastation!
sir_brilliant: To unite all people within our nation!
Rainman89: To denounce the evils of truth and love!
sir_brilliant: To extend out reach to the stars above!
SpaceGhostFlyer: Jessie!
Butane: James!
sir_brilliant: Team Rocket blasting off at the speed of light
Butane: Surrender now or prepare to fight
sir_brilliant: Meowth, that's right!

I am pretty sure they are not supposed to be there, but MOds must not click links and find them.

Those type of things are against the rules, I'm pretty sure...

dude, you pulled a jesus!

I remember that it was put in the forum rules at one point when those links were much more abundant so I know that they're against the rules. It's just that te mods can't check every single member's sig for them. I say just PM a mod about the people...

To Make Posts is Glorious

Some threads will get posts before others and it is the duty of the Leadership to ensure that posts are made that best suit the public welfare.

"heh"

Ugh, not the "kevan.org/brain" thing again. I thought we had gotten rid of that.

Nope. It's still going. Along with some other ones such as grabbing your soul.

Not only is it against the rules its just plain stupid. Where is the point of tricking someone into looking at some pointless crap. The worst thing is is that they never really know that they tricked ya unless you tell them so they cant really think that its all that funny because they cant be sure if anyone actually clicked on their link. I know that if I was screwing with someone I would want to know if they fell into the prank.
