We dont mind competition, but that doesnt mean were gonna let people use the SZ just to beef up their own resource forum. oh and graphics forums are allowed to be posted, just not resource forums. |

Resource boards fall under competiting services in our ToS. The example has been used many times "Would Coke advertise for Pepsi?" No because they're competitors. Competition is fine and dandy, but it'd be a bad move to advertise for your competition ![]() Just graphics as in showing off graphics and discussing them is ok. If you have requests and databases which allow people to use the graphics on your board - not ok. There's been tons of topics about this subject, just browse through the Feedback forum. |

now I'm kinda curious, I recently started a resource forum, but all we do right now is cursers and possibly scrollbars. I may add things like pips or teamicons later, but as of right now, would it be considered competition if I put it in the forum review or plug your forum section? |

If you offer services we offer - yes. If you have any kind of graphics requests/database I generally close them in Plug Your Forum; I'm unsure how reviews handles it. If you don't have any of that then it should be ok...But if I (or anyone else) checks and forums have been added that offer competing services the topic will be closed. |

Are Web-Designs allowed? I know this is kind of off-topic, but I'd PM you otherwise lol. |

I don't see them as a "resource board for IPB/IF" since IF doesn't have webspace available to the users nor do we offer website designs in our product offering... Now, if that would become available (not sure if it will nor not) and we would start doing them, then it would be considered against the TOS... but not yet. |

Thank You for the reply Intimidator :blush: (I don't think IF will move onto websites, but you never know :o) Hakiro - I think that is an obvious answer, Do Mac advertise Windows? Do Pepsi advertise Coke? Do Samsung advertise Nokia? XD |

I've seen a few web-design sites in Plug Your Forum and the only time I close them is if they also offer skins, graphics, etc for IF. |
