Please read these rules when posting, because if you don't follow then it can cause problems and may result in banning.

General Rules
The overall forum rules can be found here

Posting Rules
  • All websites are allowed EXCEPT FORUMS, once again don't flood them everywhere.
  • Don't flame people. We don't like people who put others down.
  • NO FORUM ADVERTISING!, we can't stress this enough! We will delete and remove the link if we see a forum being posted.
  • Common sense appliess. No hentai or porn.
  • DO NOT sell products! - This was/is a big problem, people are selling domains and other products. Serious action will be enforced if this rule is violated.
  • The idea of Webmaster discussion is for HTML help, script help, and so on. The computers forum is for other types of technology.
  • Do not offer to host someone unless they ask for hosting. If they don't ask for it, they probably don't need it and you're just spamming up the thread.
  • Don't ask for staff; do so on your site!
  • No "What do you think of my *insert section* section?" threads. Advertise your whole site, not just part of it.
  • If you want Affiliates, then use the Sticky or ask on your site. Don't make a thread about it.


No more than ONE thread per week about your site!

"One reason why mathematics enjoys special esteem, above all other sciences, is that its laws are absolutely certain and indisputable, while those of other sciences are to some extent debatable and in constant danger of being overthrown by newly discovered facts."
Albert Einstein

"What science can there be more noble, more excellent, more useful for men, more admirably high and demonstrative than mathematics."
Benjamin Franklin

"Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty – a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of paintings or music, yet sublimely pure and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show."
Bertrand Russell

Forum portals count as forums, just to let you know. They will be locked as though it was just a forum.


And just to note, if you disagree with a lock on any of the threads, don't be afraid to PM the mod that locked it. Even though we're high and mighty as mods, we can make mistakes. =)

For the past few months I have put out warning after warning of some of you posting too much threads or posting pointless threads....IT NEEDS TO STOP.

Here are a few rules people have been breaking and you will get 3 warnings before a temporary ban goes into place for 3 days.

Tell me what you think....
The 'tell me what you think about my section threads need to stop! The point of this forum is to advertise your site, NOT A SECTION OF YOUR SITE.

Affiliation....
Affiliation threads are also pointless and unessacary. What ever happened to finding a site you like, LOOK in the contact page and AIM them or Email them. Introduce yourself, chat, get to know the webmaster, then ask them formaly. Making a 'I NEED AFFILIATES' topic is just plain LAZY.

Staff requests....
This isnt a recruting center, POST NEWS ON YOUR OWN SITE ABOUT HOW YOU ARE LOOKING FOR STAFF. If they really like yours site and want to help, they will contact you, just make sure you leave your email at the bottom.

I think that is about all, I am sorry if this sounded mean, but the forum has really gotten off track, remember, This forum is to simply advertise your site. And I just realized that i forgot somthing....PLEASE ONLY MAKE ONE THREAD A WEEK ABOUT YOUR SITE.
