Yes, that is my signature, it's just some userbars that I made into a GIF.

Also do you know how some people encode their url?
For example *2*455678* that will actually lead to their website.

My ideia is to encode via several methods, one of them is the google.com url which keeps the actual url encoded in hex and this hex will lead to the above url "codification".
URLs can be encoded in many ways, read [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4"]this[/URL] page to learn about them. The decimal number URL you mentioned is formed by converting each octet of an IP number into it's hex equivalent, then concatenating these hex values into one long hex number. Then, this hex number is converted directly into decimal. It's hard to explain, but you can use [URL="http://www.allredroster.com/iptodec.htm"]this[/URL] tool to convert IP numbers into many other forms that work in a browser:

Also, a normal URL such as [url]www.google.com[/url] can be converted into another browser compatible form of URL. This is done by taking each character of the URL (such as w w w . g o o g l e . c o m) and replacing them with the hex equivalent of the ascii value, then separating them with a %. So [url]www.google.com[/url] would be:

[URL="http://%77%77%77%2e%67%6f%6f%67%6c%65%2e%6*%6f%6d/"]http://%77%77%77%2e%67%6f%6f%67%6c%65%2e%6*%6f%6d[/URL]

Try clicking that link, and it will take you to google. If you know hex, you will understand what I just said, if you don't, then you will not. I can explain more if you don't understand.
