Although this section may be labeled as a place where you can post anything that doesn't fit, here's some guidelines as to what shouldn't be posted here. If you're too lazy to read, just look at the bolded words.

Some topic no-nos:
- "I'm leaving" topics or "I'm back" topics. You can easily send a mass pm to the people who you think will care of your disappearence. Cause contrary to your beliefs, no one could care less if you're leaving. As for returning topics, I think people can see that you're back when you start posting in topics again.

- Gender specification topics. The classic forum question of "who's a girl" has been asked countless times ever since the dawn of the internet. Look guys, you're not going to score on a forum. Just face it. So quit asking everyone's gender, cause you might fall for a trap if you know what I mean.

- Stat whore topics. Things like "Click to increase my minicity" or "feed my pokemon" have been posted way too much. Put the link in your sig. Don't make a topic about it.

Topics you should avoid creating:
- "Join my forum!" topics are ill-advised. You may get three or so regular users, but you'll usually get the reply of "RAIDRAIDRAIDRAIDRAIDRAIDRAIDRAIDRAIDRAIDRAIDRAID". Followed by a spam attack on your forum. So please, don't stick your site out for punishment, just put it in your sig or have it as your websitte in the user control panel. If you do advertise your forum, make sure it has content (like a website to go with it)! If drawing is your specialty then make it an art forum. Generic forums usually don't stand on their own.

If anyone has any suggestions for anymore types of topics, feel free to suggest.

In regards to the first 2. I would need to mass PM everyone...?

Also, GTFO. Belth is curious.

Change this rule to Don't create a forum without creating a website to go with it, because then I can avoid posting long posts explaining why you shouldn't use those stupid forum hosters to host a forum without hosting your own website with some decent content first.

Yes. FreeWebs. Except, I think FreeWebs sucks, the uploading limit isn't big enough.

True, And what if someone wanted to know what happened after he left.
