· USE APPROPRIATE TITLES
Titles like Help Me, or I'm Stuck serve little value in a forum. Try to be short but descriptive when submitting your post.

Although there are times when a link to another site is necessary for helping or answering a question, this site reserves the right to determine what is and is not SPAM. Any SPAM will be immediately deleted and the user warned. This is not your personal "for sale" board to advertise items.

· ACCOUNT ACTIVITY

While we would like to see every member posting on our board it is not necessary however, any members account that is found to have not at least visited the Talk board site within a one month period will be subject to deletion. Members that may be away for said amount of time can contact any Administrator or Moderator and let us know to avoid this occurrence. Accounts that may fall under this category can be deleted but will not be banned so recreation is possible. Please note that the Account Activity policy excludes the account "TEST", as that is used by the admininstration.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping us keep this a nice, fun place to visit.
