Um instead of your status, why not your sig? .-.
I mean that kind of defeats the purpose of the concept. It's more advertising than actually expressing anything.
Posting a link doesn't really express how to feel or what you're thinking or doing. It's being the middle man to promote someone else actually expressing themselves.
Oh man, I am always amazed at the demands of users. No matter how much you give them they will always ask if they could have that pointless thing you never even guessed they would want.
Why?
You can have a youtube vid for example in your sig ( in a spoiler tag). This is up to the admins, but I personally don't see the point in this.
But what if someone had no space? Status is to show what are u doing at the moment.Well if it got accepted fine if not fine too xd
Is it really necessary. It could spread virus too.
U can spread a virus from sig too :|
Then just ban all the links simple.
