Porn is not allowed, nudity and sex is.

Violence Ruling: Violence shall not be excessive. I've yet to see an example of excessive violence in any application or site here. Violence is allowed for anything short of "violence for the sake of violence." There are people who get their kicks from things like watching snuff films, or seeing horrid depictions of blood and gore. Most anything short of that is probably okay. Basically, if the violence is plot or story related, no problem. Start posting pictures of dead babies to get your jollies, and you're out. What I do ask for anything above about a PG-13 rating is that you post some sort of warning before people see it.

Porn/Sex/Nudity Ruling: Nudity is allowed. Sex is allowed. Porn is not allowed. Let's seperate the three. Porn is nudity and/or sex only for reasons of carnal gratification. Are you drawing or writing a scene as part of a real story or plot? Or just for purposes of arousal and pleasure? I really think this one should be pretty obvious to most people... with the possible exception of anyone who genuinely reads playboy for the articles. :-) The easiest analogy is the difference between R and NC17 rated movies. NC17=No (most of the time.) R is allowed, but like violence, I ask you to have warnings for any content above about a PG-13 rating.

Multiple Accounts Ruling: You can have and/or apply for multiple accounts. Getting a second account is going to be tougher to justify though. You'll need to truely have two independant sites that independantly qualify. Usually this happens when a single artist has multiple comics, both of good quality. In cases like that, it actually can make things easier on me to keep them seperate, as I can assign seperate domains to each one, keep stats seperate, and even promote them more directly though things like the newsbox. Bottom line: If you think you need a second site, then feel free to apply. Be sure to note that it's a second site though. The worst that'll happen is I say no. :-)

the whole read right to left thing. Unless the person who's making it reads/writes primarily that way, there's really no point to me. I know translated mangas are still read right to left. I think that's because since the writers/artists read and are used to following the motion that way, it would look weird flipped. Some people say it's more traditional and authentic I guess, but I figure if they really wanted it tradtional and authentic they wouldn't have it online.

There's a few I read that are like it, and I certainly wouldn't not read one because of it, I just don't really know why people do it. Am I the only one?

Here's something I did a second ago, I got some other ideas I'm just throwing this one out there for now.

Maybe try not to rely on to many cool photoshop effects. I mean my favorite old xepher.net banner was the hand draw one that Icy did.

I can beta test, I'd do the art thing, but I'm positive that there are more skilled people than I that would be better suited to do it I could try some graphics and stuff tho.

I don't know any php though, sorry :s

If you look closely you'll find me in a few pictures! :p

So I have this looping movie of a fountain with a ball rotating on it. When the video goes back to the start it pauses for a second before continuing to play. I have no idea why it does it, it loops seamlessly in flash but when I use flash it give it a huge filesize so that's out of the question.

Well, what if they're from someplace where there is no drinking age?  I just put up the warning because the teacher inside me said too.

I was just joshin with ya :p

Oh, wow, I forgot all about that one, I guess this one could be locked then or whatever.

What if whoevers reading this comes from a place where 18 is the legal age to drink? did ya think about that!? HUH HUH!?

:p

Since the last one is locked away forever in the old forums, here's the new edition, 2.0 if you will.

So post anything (within logic of course). Pictures of you, friends, you and friends goofing off, pets, rocks, funny bits of string... you get the jest of it.

Should I change the sample rate to anything, it could be just my connection but it sounds like crap when I try it :p

Or is it just a humor site? If it's true I find it hilarious.

Track him down? It's the guy who does the Castlevania RPG that she links to on her main site. Not much tracking involved with that.

And if Amber has a problem with it she probably contacted xepher herself already.

I'm gonna be out of town this weekend :p, probably next weekend too. I'll still probably have computer access tho.
