I use Adobe Photoshop 6 (Didn't see TOO much of a difference between 6 and 7)

For fonts, try DaFont or 1001Fonts

I dont think there are any.

I usually go to pixel2life. http://www.pixel2life.com/tutorials/Gimp/All/ But they dont seem to have anything for sigmaking.

EDIT: If you can use PS brushes you should be fine. Heres a tutorial for converting photoshop brushes to gimp brushes.

They just render the shit out of their sigs, it's nothing special =/ There should be a little tab at the top, where it says file and all that crap, that says "Render"... but it might be called something else... it has like 50 diffrent things to mess with your picture.

What are you talking about? We use brushes. A render is an image like Gradius' gundam. Render filters create a cloud effect and difference cloud effect and a lens flare. Styles, color balances, and brushes really make a sig.

pimpin, if you feel like pirating PS or ask your parents for it and somehow in hell they buy it, go here: http://www.good-tutorials.com

-Update-
I made the border in Yoshi's sig

You create a simple design like that just using black and (in PS) go to styles and look for it at good-tuts (see above, yes I'm that lazy, I got it saved as a preset style and forgot what you do for it.)
