In every forum that you enter, there are definitely a set of rules. This is no different;

• Do not join if you dislike yaoi.
• 18+ ONLY
• If you choose to lie about your age, I don`t care BUT I don`t want to know. If you expose your stupid secret, it will result in PERMANENT BAN
• If in any way you were offended, please do not start a flame war. Report to Admin or Mod
• Respect each other`s opinions and views
• Posts which are on wrong threads will be moved or deleted
• If you have been reminded not to post on certain threads but still do, you will be given a warning
• Strictly no double (or more) posting or duplicate topics aka creating more than one thread with similar contents. (added 1stOct'08)
• Spam bots for advertisements etc are to be deleted immediately. Please refrain from replying to bots' threads. The mod team will get to them asap. (added 1stOct'08)

Music Section

• Does the forum have a CD I want to download? Is the CD I want already here? Before doing anything, check to see if the CD already posted here. This forum has a search feature at the top right corner of the page. USE IT. Just type in the name of the artist or the name of the CD and you should find your answer.

  IMPORTANT!
  
  As of February 27th, 2007, the official forum search system is OFFLINE (as stated by InvisionFree). The temporary search engine provided DOES NOT find many of the words typed in it. Please don't use it until the official search system is back. Thanks.
  
• Before uploading, try to zip your file in the standard ZIP or RAR formats so all the songs in a CD are downloaded together. Data compressing programs like WinZip or WinRAR are recommended for zipping and unzipping. If this is still not possible, posting of links to individual songs is accepted.
• When uploading, TRY NOT to use Megaupload or Sendspace! Some people have already encountered this problem trying to access COAT videos at either of these sites, so please make your files easily accessible to everyone and maybe use a different host (Gigeshare, QuickSharing, and MediaFire are a few that work).
• DO NOT post more than 2 or 3 CDs a day. I don't want every single CD on the face of the planet dumped in here by one person in the course of a week. @_@
• CDs MUST be properly labeled with the artist name, title, genre, and whether the CD being posted is a single or an album. An example is given in this post below.
• Please include a picture of the CD cover(s), no smaller than 160x160, and no bigger than 200x200 (in pixels). If you need help with resizing from a bigger picture to a smaller one, PM me.
• Also, please include a CD tracklist. If song titles are in Japanese, please romanize them so people without Japanese-capable computers can still read them.
• Please use the following template when posting PVs:
  
  - Song Title:
  - Artist:
  - Album/Single:
  - File Type:
  
  Link :: HOST SERVER

Picture Section

• post only 7 or less pictures at a time
• refrain from discussing about the pictures on the thread [except under Personal and Miscellaneous]
• do not post pictures that do not belong to you [unless you have permission]
• and if you do post pictures from another source, please provide a link back to the source

Introduction Thread

You are allowed to post only 5 posts a day on the introduction thread. We do not want members to post just saying "Hello" on every intro thread just to increase their post count

Fanart Section

• Like the personal picture section, please make an individual thread for yourself.
• Comments may be posted in-thread.
• Do NOT post off-topic here.

Translation Section Rules

• When posting a translation, be sure to post it in its own thread and credit the translator, especially if you weren't the one that translated it.
• If you're posting something that's incomplete, please state so below the translation, and when you need to add to it, post the date in which the piece was last edited at the top of your post.
• Lastly, comments are allowed and encouraged inside translation threads! ^^

I'm sure the rules are pretty simple. Have fun~

:)
