What ARE the exact rules for posting links? That message in the GameCube section seems pretty vague to me. Like, if I saw a news story on another site, wouldn't it be permissible to link to that story and provide a brief description? It would seem so, since several threads within the GameCube forum have links from other sites contained within.
