Due to a security hole, ABSOLUTELY NO embedded SWF files will be allowed on this forum at any time (unless permissions is granted by one of the administrators) ... If an embedded SWF file is seen in any of your posts or footers -- they will be removed without warning.

What is Allowed ?

You can have up to 3 lines of text in your footer signatures ... this will include any links you may choose to add.

In addition to the text, you may also add an image to your footer (that means ONE image) .... The guidelines for these images are as follows :

300x50 (width x height) ... and no more than 30kb in file size ...

Avatar Images

Please keep the avatar images under 30 KB as well.


These rules will help keep everybody equal and will minimize the load on the servers (which will in turn benefit everyone with faster load times).


If these rules are not followed - you will first be asked to reduce the size of your footers, and if a second violation is noted, your footer will be removed without warning ...

We do appreciate your cooperation with this - again, it will keep everybody equal (and we don't think it's too much to ask) ;)


What is NOT Allowed ?

Using links in attempts to make money from the traffic of this site - are also considered to be spam (this includes but it not limited to, using 'affiliate' links in footers or posts for the sole purpose of generating revenue from a product you did not create, posting "help my stats" links for online game sites, posting any money-making 'scheme' - such as email fraud - in our forums).



Thank You,
Administration
