Can I start a topic or something talking about "Gears of War 3" or is that not allowed because of its rating and how much swearing there is and how gory it is?

I think such a question would next time better be suited for a PM.

That being said, we have a blanket topic about gaming in the "Not the comic" section where you can mention it. As long as you aren't detailed about the gore and swearing, I think it should be fine. Use discretion if you link a trailer, though; that can get you in trouble depending on the content.

Is it alright if I start a topic about Glsen's "DAY of SILENCE"???

Thanks for that, I was not sure and did not feel like pushing my luck and talking about it before I knew if I could.

Rules updated

Hmmm...what changed/was added?

The parts in bold were, right?

Yes, it's the bolded part of the quote there

Ah... didnt notice that...

Edit: Nevermind; Bad idea.

Over what? Linking to content? Posting content? Why? If someone is trying to pass off work that's not theirs as their own then I could see it

I agree. The only time that it would ever or should ever be a problem here, is if the artwork is not yours and someone is trying to pass it off as their own or doing anything graphic. But if that's the case, take it somewhere else, like deviantART, Furr Affanity, and etc.

I would be banned before the end of the day

What's the point? Unless they post it and say "This is mine", they shouldn't be in trouble. This rule would just be a pain in the neck to deal with.

One more thing, Are we aloud to make Fanfics unrelated to Housepets?

So.. what do these fanfics have to do with this forum? I guess you could post them in the Art thread.

Okay, I guess..

Rules updates, new line in bold

So are we able to say things like, "I support King and Sasha." or is that also banned? Or is it just the use of namexname and name/name?

That sounds kind of harsh for a rule.... I'll still follow it, of course (I THINK I have so far), but so far that's the only rule I've seen that I haven't understood fully....

"I support King and Sasha" is fine. I expanded the rule a bit for clarity.

Just for clarification if say I wanted to write a crossover fan fiction of Housepets! and another series that included a gay couple (a.k.a Slash) ie. Sailor Moon, Shortpacked!,ect. would that be against the new rules or not?

Are you absolutely insane

It MIGHT be okay, if it ever comes up poke me about it.

What did I do?

I'm just teasing you silly

Rick means that if you have any doubts, just ask him, and he'll let you know. He's a pretty friendly guy, don't ch know.

I was talking about the whole calling me insane thing I know that I can just ask him stuff.

hehe Lol

all new members that read the forum rules for the first time do this. I could have sworn i did that myself. lol

and after that they find out about the Peanut and Grape wedding fan art

That quote seems to be becoming legendary. That was one of the first posts I read here as well. It makes sense, being the second post in the first thread people are supposed to read.

Also, what is this picture of which you speak? I want to see it. But not in a thread-derailing way; via PM or a post that has other substance in it. Unless it's forum-inappropriate, of course.

Hey, I just noticed the slashing rule in the OP. When was that added?

Also, I will obey it, of course, but I must say I never got it. Why does it automatically means it's sexual just because there's a slash or an X?

That's what is very frequently implied by such notation. Heck, that's where the term "slash" comes from in the first place.

It only takes one more keystroke to write "Grape&Max." Or you could just type it out.

Just use the combo name thing (a.k.a Grapenut and what ever it would be for the rest)

Guys? Really? Com'on, enough of discussing this.

Sorry, Buck. We didn't want to change the rule or anything, I was just wondering what was behind it. Soorrrry

Sinder's awesomeness?

Who's Sinder?

Sinder is the reason why most of us are here.. so hes basically god
