Skip is pissed at us. Now we must pay. It's only for a week, if people can comply. If people don't, we lose them forever.
Ha ha. Sadly Skip thinks it's a bad thing to have outside links in your sig. Spam? You have to chose to click on that link. No one is forcing it on you.
What a baby. Like you said, nobody is forcing you to click on the links. And if there arent pictures of the site being linked to, then that cant possibly be spam... According to the greatest thing the internet has given us, MediaWiki and their wiktionary section, internet spam can be one of two things: Noun spam (plural spams) 1. (uncountable noun) A collection of unsolicited bulk electronic messages. I get far too much spam. 2. (countable noun) An unsolicited electronic message sent in bulk, e.g. by email or newsgroups. I received 58 spams yesterday. "Unsolicited" is the key word here.... if you spin this definition a bit, he has a point.
It's not forced on you. Hence I can't see why it's called spam. Now if it's a person flooding forums with messages, then I could see an issue. The sig is completely harmless.
After having read http://www.hipforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=177101 it makes a lot more sense now. I've never seen a link to hipforums on any myspaces.
Um sorry, obviously I am missing the point? I don't want children to see porn or be linked to porn. I think that's what I said/implied.
