	Live without your sunlight... Tinyurl.com has been the main site to use to lessen the use of characters in our signatures and now recently, has been subject to being use to hack peoples accounts. Well, I had made a link for PTF's shop, and the url was covered by a tinyurl link, so when I went to click on it, this is what came up. What do you think about the new ban? You think it will keep scammers from phishing accounts? Or.. Do you think they'll discover a new way to hack? ...Love without your heartbeat...

	Tinyurl is blocked? DDDD: God, I can't fit 2 URL's in my sig without that. && Since those hackers and scammers have no lives, they'll probably eventually find a way around it.

	Hackers/scammers will probably find a way around it sometime, but it should stop them for a while. I'm just glad I never used tinyurl for links. =/

	ah dammit D; They should increase the size for text in the signatures then ;T I'll have to change all my links it's a good ban, most hackers did used the tinyurl thing... but not everybody is a hacker, it affects both, hackers and non-hackers ;T

	Your eyes can be so cruel... I agree with you STD, I went to click to go to PTF's shop and went "C'est WTF?" I didn't know about the ban until I roamed about the Q&A forum. (which has n00bs spouting different alternatives.) Which proves this won't last long. On the other hand. Lanzer or somebody should have made this an announcement. ...just as I can be so cruel...

	What's weird about this is that (for me), which I click a signature that links to a thread on Gaia with a tinyurl link, the page loads for me without any sort of problem. I should consider changing the url service I use for my own sig, simply because everyone else is having the "tinyurl blocked" issue. gonk goes to do that right now

	Du'aw. It helps out sooo much too in siggies. D: But if it helps prevent hackers..then, I hope we find a "discovery".

	Erm... this is a trick I discovered, to shorten the urls, if you didn't figure it out already... http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/announcements/continue-the-story-of-ian-and-louie-with-a-new-gaia-manga/t.33063047/ can be shortened to: http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/t.33063047 Uber spiffy, yo. 3nodding
