Forum Rules:

Please don't sign up to the forums if you only have a question, any questions can be answered through our IRC channel and can be done through our webchat client with no additional software to install....Click here...PLEASE be patient, or just idle, as staff are not always there all the time, but someone WILL answer your question(s).


Do NOT use this bulletin board to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violation of any laws.

Usernames are expected to be civil. "Dirty Nig*a" is an example of an unacceptable name.

Messages who promote - or evoke - illegal practices are prohibited.

No spamming...any caught spamming will be automatically banned. Advertising is a non-starter.


Personal sites are fine, funny links etc. Do NOT link to forced-signup content. These links will be removed.

If you post information that comes from another site, look first if the site in question doesn’t forbid it. Show the address of the site in question in order to respect the work of their administrators!

Referral posts and posts for sites like "Fancy Asian" will be deleted and the user banned.
DO NOT post/code direct download links to torrents or files we are not that kind of site.

Please post your messages only once. The repetitions are unpleasant and useless!

Please make an effort on grammar and spelling. SMS-style language (ex: r u sk8ing?) are allowed but is not advised! (Remember there are many members, who's native language is not English)

No bumping... (All bumped threads will be deleted.)

No one word, or smiley face posts. If you leave a message in the forums, it should be to the point of the thread you are in.

This is NOT a trading post. Users have been burned before, and we're not ready to risk it again. Sale/trade/etc posts will NOT be tolerated.

This is an English-language board. Posts in another language must be translated immediately and properly below, or in English only.

Use some common sense I.e. Don't post your email in any thread or post unless you love spam

The Sites and their Staff.

1. DO NOT DISOBEY THE STAFF
2. Badmouthing staff and/or the sites and the forum is not welcome. Constructive criticism is always welcome, cussing out the staff or impinging the main sites' reputation because you're angry is not constructive or helpful in making this one of the better parts of the internet.
3. Administrator and Moderator decisions are final. Arguing the point in another thread falls under Rules 2 and 4 and their consequences.
   Again, the Contact Us link is available to you. Rest assured it points to an Administrator's email.
4. The Staff here are volunteers and give their time freely. As a small reward they are exempt from all but the most extreme versions of these rules. If you have an issue with a Moderator or Admin, use the Contact Us link or PM an Admin.
5. We have complete faith in our Staff. They may bend or allow things as they see fit, within reason. Their word is final.
