whats a vampire link

[TheTramp]

That's what I'm wondering.

I think they're these links that people put their name in, so if you went to my link it'd be like...Oh jeez, Mossman sucked your blood! then i can go to the link and it tells me how many people's blood i sucked and i can brag about it!


stupid...

I just have a question...

Why can't someone put any link they want in their sig, as long as it doesn't contain something against the rules? I don't see how a vampire link, however lame, is against the forum rules...

[Miscue]

Well, it's a nuissance. Pop-up ads, and what not. That link has appeared several times, by several different people. I decided to put a preemptive cap on it before people started to play the copycat game and let it explode. In a sig, it's not a big deal... but I'm not about to list all the different situations where it's ok, and when it's not because people will just play the "let's see how far I can push it game."

We've all seen it. Har Har. Ok, it's old now... it's time to stop.

that means I have to remove it from my sig?

Because as people have already stated,it isnt against ANY AO rules...

then again..Its not like I am forcing people to look at the link in my sig either...they are at their own will..as clicking ANY link does...

bottom line..is it acceptable in my sig?

How gravy of you to put it in perspective Shartley

I agree... as long as it's not spamming you with countless windows of garbage.. let it be. I mean.. it's only goes to one site, and it's real easy not to be sucked in... DON'T CLICK IT!

Goes hand in hand with curiousity killed the cat. If you're gonne be curios... you're gonna get "sucked" in. I on the other hand can restrain myself from clicking links prior to reading replies. If I see 5 replies saying "Awwe man... you got me" I'm not gonna click it. If I see replies stating.. wow.. that looked really cool" then I may be inclined to check it out.

Wanna see a cool site... click <a href="http://www.turnofftheinternet.com" target="Kill the internet">here</a> AND no... it has NOTHING to do with vampires. Honestly.

Even if it does have a lot of popups, no one is forcing you to click the link.

Lots of sites on the net have lots of pop ups. The link isn't a "pop-up bomb". It had around 5 or 6 pop-ups when I clicked it. Annoying? Yes. But not malicious.

I would call that a "pop-up bomb". But, my tolerance for that kind of thing is admittedly low.
