You didn't think we wouldn't have rules, did you? Well, we do. Please follow them. They're not that bad, either.

1) Ok, first thing's first. We know, this is the internet, so do whatever you want. What we DON'T want you to do is to be a meanie poopoo head. The point is that being a general ass and flaming/bashing/anything-that-insults-a-person-directly is generally not tolerated. We're here to have fun, not to flame. Play nice, or we'll have to take a trip down to the docks talk.

2) Again, we know. Randomness is fun. But we're not fans of SPAM (Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages, not the delicious lunch meant - I'm quite fond of that, actually, goes good in scrambled eggs) around here. Please don't post silly messages that have nothing to do with anything OUTSIDE OF AREAS WHERE SUCH POSTS WOULD BE ACCEPTED.

3) Look. It's ok if you wanna curse. Cursing is fine, you won't find any censors here. But make sure that you post appropriately. This goes back to rule 1. Be respectful. We don't want fightin' words here (unless you're throwing hands at video games - that's fine).

4) I like to keep this place clean. I know, you like playing games. Some times, you play games in ways you're not supposed to. Like ROMing. Even if it's technically legal the way you're doing it, they way some other people are doing it won't be. What I'm saying is that talking about ROMs, illegal boot devices, or anything that's not on the up-and-up is not allowed around here.

5) Sometimes, you do something and a mod isn't ok with it. This'll happen eventually, it's inevitable. Threads may be closed unfairly. If you feel your post isn't doing any harm and you feel your thread's been closed unfairly, go to a mod. They're friendly (generally), and talking to them will help both parties understand what's going on.

6) Ah, yes. Necroing. Look, I know some people like to look for cool old threads, and feel they have something to add to that thread. Well, it's not gonna happen. Please, PLEASE, do not revive a thread that hasn't seen any activity for 120 days (the Necro Cutoff PointTM, as I like to call it). Just post a new thread. Don't be shy.

7) I like a long, drawn out conversation, too. But forum chat is pretty annoying. That being said, please don't forum chat except for in areas designed for such posting. Forum Chatting is basically treating a thread like a chatroom - just talking and shooting the breeze. Single sentences, you know the deal. You have messaging clients for chatting, kids.

8) The one thing I love about forums is the use of avatars and signatures. Avatars are those pictures next to your username, basically showing a part of who you are. Signatures are sets of images and text that appears at the end of your posts. I love them, and I encourage you to get one and customize your profile. However, there are a few guidelines regarding sigs and avies.

8a) First off, the avatar size limit is currently set at 150x250 pixels. Even if you try to upload anything different, it'll auto-size to meet the limit. Next, signatures are capped at 1000 characters (including BBCode).
8b) We also have another rules to prevent huge sigs - the physical size limit on images in your sigs is 500x200 pixels. Sigs longer than that will not be tollerated. Also, you may only have a maximum of 5 images - one large signture (max 500x200), and 4 smaller banner images/userbars/whatever.
8c) You can also use text, but as long as your sig is not bigger than 15 lines of text, you'll be fine. One more thing: please, keep your sig clean and up to forum rules.

Any violations will start with a warning from your friendly mods, which will include a request to remove harmful elements from your sig. Further infractions will include mods reserving the right to remove the elements of your sig themselves without warning.

9) Don't play the hero - if something goes down, like the breaking of a rule or whatever, please report the post to a mod. Don't post and further the accident - we don't want a forum-wide breakdown over a single post.

That's it! Further rules may be added to suit the day-to-day needs of the boards.

Have fun!
