When I redid my signature just now, the total character count was 998 including BB code (according to the word count tool in LibreOffice). However, the site gave me an error claiming it was over 1000. I ended up having to trim it down to under 990 to get it to work. It's not a huge deal since I can always use TinyURL or something to shrink the links if necessary, but I thought it would be worth mentioning.
