What I mean is, if my signature is a picture or just words linked to another site..like for example..

What if my signature was something like this (imagine it fitting in the size requirements and the picture being on photobucket or something that was allowed).

Image

Or just a simple tag in my signature with just words..

Man, I love THIS show!

Is that still allowed?

If it's from Photobucket it will be good.

Yes, but what I mean is, can I use the image or words to link to anything outside of RealGM? As in, if I had a personal blog site, could I use my signature to say "You should click HERE", and here would be my blog site (if they clicked it). Is that still allowed in the signature?

Skaterdude,

I think it is allowed if it is within the size requirements and on an approved site.

The approved sites have tentatively been set to............

Imageshack.us
Imgur.com
PhotoBucket.com
Tinypic.com

We are still considering others but we want to limit it to a few sites to start.

If someone has a strong objection or feels another site really needs to be added, please let me know.

Lots of people use tweetpic and instagram (iphone and android). I don't personally but I am sure others might enjoy.

My avatars are linked from either my personal facebook or myspace page (you know, the photos/albums section)... are either of those two sites still allowed on here?

DJRajX,

Those will not be allowed.

We do not plan to have any personal sites.

Sounds fair, thanks for letting me. I'll get my avatar on an approved image site.
