    im just curious what "officially" constitutes as linking to a forum. reason i ask is because just recently Phoenix316 posted a note in which he said i cant link to forums in my sig. now, i have already read the rules and know about this. the link is to my site. although it does have forums on t, by no means are they the main attraction. and to add to that, one week from today the site will have been officially up for 2 whole years. within that time there have been only 22 posts on the forums. and the majority of those posts are in the staff forum which is locked away for staff only.

    of course, imo, i think he may have mistaken my post for the one right aove his in which there was a link which was explicitly named "My Forum" and went to a proboards site.

  • Linking to forums is basically... advertising a forum. For example:

    "I came from Serebii forums."
    That isn't advertising.

    "I came from these forums: {insert SPPf url here}."
    "I came from SPPf. The link is in my sig."
    And soforth. That's advertising.

    Also, you're allowed to advertise forums anywhere except for in posts and PMs. ^_^;
