Well I thought I would write up some rules so everyone knows where they stand. This will continue to be updated, so please read carefully
Please Note: If you have ANY problems just ask a moderator for help.
No Advertising
NO advertising for personal or commercial sites etc. Not in posts or signatures.
This forum is not a place to generate traffic for other websites This goes against basic etiquette. This will be removed straight away, excessive advertising will result in a ban. This includes spam advertising in Instant Messaging (even indirectly).
NO advertising banners or graphics, not in signatures, not in posts or avatars not even in nicknames.
If you are providing a URL for an example of something, such as a review, source of information, website of interest, etc. this will be accepted.
If you want to promote your site, swap links, or advertise anywhere on this site you must have permission from the Admin.
If you've got nothing to contribute but a link to a site please find another board. Members who register and immediately start posting spam links will be banned.
Post in the correct forum
Make sure all posts are in the correct forum; if its to do with 80 music then its the 80s music forum. If its serious discussion, then post it in that forum. It will make it easier for everyone and you will get a better response with it in the right forum.

Instant Messages
There are no limitations on private messages, however if you abuse them (such as spam, flaming users or excessive advertising) they will be disabled.
The Moderating Team
We have designated users to moderate all of our forums. They will do their job, which involves keeping their forum on topic. If your post goes "missing" it is either against our rules outlined within this post, or has been moved to the relevant forum. We will let people know when we are in search for moderators.
