Skin images were made by Bax on Hidden completely and the coding was done by Bax with codes from Slightly Insane. Steal any images or concepts and you will be castrated with a fork. No matter what gender you are. Fonts are from dafont and brushes are from assorted sources, but none are made by me. Bubble idea borrowed from Wicked and John, with respect. Plot ideas credit to Rain, all characters are credit to their makers.

Rules v.1
« Thread Started on Nov 21, 2007, 4:20pm »

Here are the rules for the forum. They look pretty long, but they're all basic things. Just follow the rules, and there shouldn't be any trouble!

1. Try to stay in character as much as possible, unless in a board that specifies it's OOC. All OOC comments otherwise should be marked by ((blah blah blah)) or (blah blah blah) or something else that seperates it clearly from the rest of the text.

2. Don't say/do anything offensive. Although you may not see/hear the people on this site, it doesn't mean they don't have emotions/lives of their own.

3. Don't partake in any illegal activity while on this forum. (Although abiding by the law normally is probably a good idea)

4. DO NOT talk in net speak, leet or 1337. It's really annoying. Also, seeing a whole bunch of smilies in a row is quite aggravating. I don't want to see anything like this:

"Heyz! I waz l00kin around & i wanna join th15 forum! itll b gr8!

*shudders*

5. Romance is allowed. Just try to keep it at a PG-13 level.

6. Swearing is allowed, but try not to swear in every other post you have. Try to keep it in context.

7. If you join a thread in the RPG area, don't join another one at the same time. You can't be two places at once, and neither can your character. (this doesn't apply if you're using different characters in the two threads)

8. Do not insult anyone on the site! I didn't think I'd really have to add this, but I apparently do.

9. On the Cbox, please use your character's or your account's name. Using someone else's name is strictly forbidden, and will result in dire consequences.

10. Don't godmod (even if you are a god). Example:
Wrong: Billie sent a bolt of energy flying at Matt. It hit Matt in the eye and sent him falling back into the abyss.
Right: Billie sen a bolt of energy at Matt, attempting to hit him in the eye and maybe send him flying backward into the abyss.

11. YOU ARE NOT INVINCIBLE! All characters, even gods, must take damage at some point. It's natural for you to want your character invincible, but at some point they have to be hurt, even if it's just being scraped by a blade, or being knicked by a punch.

12. BE REALISTIC! I don't mind mad combo moves, but DON'T make yourself stay in midair for three pages (unless you have wings) or have a random all-knowing apple or something pop out of nowhere and start spouting nonsense.

13. DO NOT kill off your characters for no reason/in insane manners. If you create a character, you are expected to allow them a decent life span. When their time comes, please have them die in battle or some plausible/normally accepted way.

14. DO NOT kill off other user's characters without their permission.

15. DO NOT spam the cbox (chat box, the thing at the bottom of the screen). Spamming in this case is normal spamming or posting multiple pointless or one line posts. Please be nice, it can only handle about 100 posts, and they go by faster than you think.

Penalties:

1st offense: warning from one of the staff
2nd offense: banned for a day*
3rd offense: banned for a week*
4th offense: banned for a month*
5th offense: account DELETED and user BANNED

* Time may change depending on seriousness of offense.

Other than that, I can't think of much. I'll update this if any other problems come up.

I have a susgestion/comment/somplaint thing...
People should be able to post in more than one place at a time. There's only on 'real' thread going on right now. Activity might be higher if people were allowed to post in more places. On top of that there should probably be more places to post in. Instead of putting all our threads in that out of character board.

The problem with having a character in several threads at the same time is that people commonly form several conflicting story lines. The character can't but updated as quickly, as well. Once the main thread finishes, activity will increase. Until then, we'll just have to wait. I'm sorry, but having one thread per character is just one of my consistant rules.
