Please take some time to read over these few simple rules. Everyone using the forums are expected to follow these rules. Failure to do so will result in either a warning or a ban. Thank you!

1. No Objectionable Content
1.1 Do not post or link to pornographic or related material.
1.2 No swearing of any kind.
1.3 Do not post, link to, or discuss stolen/pirated software.

2. Be Respectful
2.1 Do not flame each other.
2.2 No posting "your mom" jokes.
2.3 Do not call things "gay" or use other homophobic or discriminatory language.
2.4 Do not openly argue with anyone. If you have a problem with someone, PM him or her directly.
2.5 Do not attack another member by rude or unnecessary remarks, or name-calling.
2.6 Debates between issues are fine but do not attack another member directly. And when the debate has concluded; agree to disagree.
2.7 Do not attack someone personally by PM (Private Message).

3. Do Not Spam the Forum
3.1 Spamming such as posting an excessive amount of one word is not acceptable.
3.2 Posting only 1-3 words that do not add anything to the thread, and posting completely useless threads that have no meaning to them is spam also.
3.3 Use the appropriate forums for what you're posting.

4. Leetspeak
5.1 This is a forum, not Steam chat or AIM. U dnt nede 2 tak lik tis 2 get ur pnt acrozz. Typing in such a way is not proper grammar or even English and it's also very difficult to read. Take your time and type things out clearly.

5. Forum Administrators and Moderators
5.1 When an Admin or Mod is to step in on a situation you are to respect them. Not to put them higher than other members, but the Admins/Mods have been put in place by the leaders to keep the forum in order.
5.2 If you feel you've been wrongly accused, either contact the Admin/Mod directly, or if you feel it necessary, take it to a Senior or Master Admin.

6. Forum Signatures
Large dimension sigs may distort the page on some lower resolutions. Large file sizes result in longer page loads; they also use up significant amounts of bandwidth which for some users is limited or paid for upon use; they sometimes don't load for dial up users and they make viewing the forum on anything other than a broadband PC (think PDA, mobile etc) nearly impossible.

The following limits should be adhered to...

Avatar:
100 x 100, max size - 25kb
(forums should automatically resize to meet these specifications in case yours is too big)

Signature:
500 wide x 200 high (including any text lines), max size - 100Kb

Forum Rules

Saying that, our preferred signature size is:

500 wide x 120 high (including any text lines), max size - 100Kb

Forum Rules


The above represents your typical forum signature dimensions, they can be a bit wider if necessary but please no taller.
