    It seems a rule re-write was in order because some things were unclear and uncertain. So here we go 2012 new year new rules.

    • one account per person
    • Respect the forums- as a member here, you also represent the whole site
    • Respect fellow members-treat others as you'd like to be treated
    • listen and respect staff- do not ignore warnings or suggestions
    • Do not make a scene disagreeing with a staff members- if you have a concern or disagreement with somebody on staff contact that staff member or admin
    • any rule breaking is to be reported immediately to a staff member
    • Keep the forums clean- no obscene words or excessive language, posts, links, avatars, signatures, etc.
    • This is a PG-13 forums
    • Absolutely no hateful or discriminatory posts
    • Basic grammar and spelling is required- no text talk, or excessive slang
    • No posting or linking to anything illegal- if you found a website to download photoshop or free music, etc., do not post a link on this website to it
    • no advertising other websites- you may post a link in your signature, but if staff feels it is too far we will go in and remove it from your sig and tell you. A simple link "and check this site out" will work
    • No spam or irrelevant posts- all posts in threads should correspond with the topic thread
    • Bumping is now permitted however, you cannot bump your own thread i.e. if your thread is 9 months old, you cannot post in it
    • No multi-posting- you may multi post in sections show casing your work i.e. traditional and digital show case.
    • Some forums have separate rules, read them and obey by them- creative lounge forums have their own rules, please read them
    • signatures can be no bigger than 500x200 pixels. Signatures that break this rule will be removed
    • images in threads should not be real big(no bigger than 800x800)- if you can't tell the size, be reasonable. Is it going to extend the post where nobody can read it or is it going to cause people to scroll a lot to get to the next post

    Staff members know these rules and will see through that they are obeyed. These set of rules go into affect 1/_/12


    Warning System-
    1. informal warning via VM or PM
    2. formal warning
    3. infraction
    4. temporary ban- this time period can range from a couple of days to a year
    5. Permanent Ban

    Some rules may cause a skip to temporary or even permanent ban

    Questions can be asked here.

    I'm slightly intrigued by one of the newer rules, however, just to be sure that I'm not interpreting it differently than what it truly means I shall ask a question to clear it up :)

    So with regards to the new "Bumping rule", I am officially allowed to write in any older thread, regardless if they are stickied or not, so long as I wasn't the person who created the thread ? (If so, perhaps there should be a restriction that it has to be on the first page.)

    Here's an example:

    Say if I were perusing through the Kingdom Hearts Section, specifically in the Kingdom Hearts I part, and I were to notice a thread, that was not stickied, that was older than one month, am I allowed to post in it ?

    Precisely. We came to a conclusion that there are many old threads that could make interesting discussion still still. Now some forums such as RP will still contain the bumping rule only because if you don't have an ooc die out ever, you could remain dwelled on it and not create new RP's.

    XD I would like to point out that you can spam all you want in the KHP Member chat thread... just don't do it TOO much.

    Actually that wouldn't be spam because it follows the purpose of that thread.

    I think that some of you are starting to forget some of the rules so I think that I will reintroduce the rules that Vox have stated before



    I remember that one of you told another to let a thread to just go on ahead and die but since we are allowed to bump threads that is 9 months old, we do have the choice to continue the discussion, especially if it is interesting. -_- And please post properly. No slang. This is not Facebook, Tweeter (XD Went old man there) or MySpace MyFace. ^_^ Thank you, God bless and have a bless day.

    Uh Brandon... You had like 10 zetta grammatical errors in that post alone xD.

    *Goes back and check* XD I only had one and I accidentally left out the ed in allowed. I do not have 10. HA! But yea. Basic grammar. Please do not post slang.

    Zetta is not slang correct? And it's had stated not "have stated" xD.

    Actually it is "have started". Granted it has started, but the rules have started. Now "had started" is leaning towards a little improper, but that's not the point.

    And technically "zetta" is slang. Slang is defined as word or words used informally. Is it rule breaking not exactly, but you shouldn't do it.

    Try to be a little more mature with your posting, please and thank you. Also for the main reason one should be posting in this thread is...
    1.) you're reminding people about the rules
    2.) you have a question.

    I don't care if you say zetta. XD I was thinking that it was your signature word. Now when I was thinking of slang, I was thinking along this path:

    "HEY GUYS! Thiz iz yo shawty, Rikkay. U kno what u want. Thiz iz fo sur. I want u 2 be a part of my group. Letz get sillay. Now Plz/Pleaz/ Plox listen to meh."

    >___< Please stay away from that. I learned a BIG lesson from that. It ends up confusing anyone and you will end up looking silly yourself. <.> My mind know what you are trying to say but at the same time, it ends up losing the meaning of what you are trying to say. That is "ONE OF THE MAIN REASON" why he said no text talking or excessive slang.

    Okay Im just making sure about something
    We can bump threads If they're 9 months or lower?

    No any thread(except those that were grandfathered in to the old rules. You can't bump your own thread. Some forums have bumping rules, for example RP and Tradittional Showcase do have a different bumping thread rule.

    sorry but its been so long since i have been here and i kinda forgot what bumping exactly is???

    Well seeing as the rules have been revised you don't need to worry about it except bumping you own thread. This is when you post in an ld thread that the last post in it has a number date versus # weeks ago...

    I've got a question about avatars and signatures.

    Is it allowed to use animated gif. files as avatars or signatures? I don't remember if there has ever been such a rule that it's not allowed, but better to check it 'cause I'm unsure about it.

    Nah you can use them they can't be inappropriate, its just a matter if the site will run the animation, it should though if not Ican try to get TD to add the plugin for it.

    Okay, thanks for this. I just wondered because many sites prohibit the use of animated gifs on their site. I'll try one out soon.
