What if you actually CREATED the forum code and not just used a pre-made template to set it up?

Then it would make sense since you can show/get help for the mechanisms you used in its design... =/

That's very rare indeed. I suppose that would be an exception... Dragon/Butterfree's the boss though.

There is no exception.
You can't advertsie forums here, no matter how much work you've put in them.

I'm not talking about something like: "hey this is my forum come visit it and join in" more like "Hey I'm DEVELOPING a forum TOOL from scratch, check it out" that's way different than grabbing vbulleting or any other of the 1000's of forum tools out there and SET UP a forum.

Anyone with a limited knowledge about software can set up a forum using one of these tools, create the actual tool is a different story...

Rather than advertising the content of a forum that case is more like showing a forum tool you created, the same thing as showing a web page IMHO.

I have to agree with you, NightWalker.

**NightwolfAA2k5** · 25th October 2006, 5:37 AM

If you really want a forum, do it similar to the way I've done it, look at the "forums" link on https://nwpps2k6.sourceforge.net/ click it (the forums link) to go to a page which will redirect you to my forums...

I guess what I'm trying to say is... Have a basic website with a link to a page which redirects to a forum on a sidebar or something similar...

I did the redirect like so;
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5; URL=http://www.vf11.com/nwpps/nwpps.html">
</head>

So I guess I can't put up a test forum to show people a skin I made and try to get some suggestions on it? o.o;

thats not advertising but i dont know if its allowed

**Minun2** · 28th December 2006, 3:46 PM

Im not sure, but until you know exactly if its allowed, you could take a screenshot (to do so, press Prnt Screen and it should be copied to the clipboard) and then post it on the approriate board

**bassface** · 10th July 2007, 6:33 PM

I think this may have already been asked but what if we posted a website with a link to the forum we made? Would that be allowed?

**~~legendofFire~~** · 1st August 2007, 8:55 PM

dangit! i was going to advertise a friends site here as its the biggest forum i know and my friend needs extra ppl

**kevind23** · 17th August 2007, 12:30 AM

You start by posting things once then you learn (X)HTML and CSS.

**Link3710** · 28th September 2007, 10:21 PM

Can you ask for help if you are making a pokemon game? I am running one but all the information is on a forum server. It's not for chat though... so is it ok?

**tkdkbw** · 22nd May 2009, 12:07 AM

I have website that i made, it has a forum, can i post the address?

**Surfing_Pikachu** · 10th July 2009, 2:40 AM

I'm still a bit confused as to the rules of this. Can you give specific examples of wrong and right? From what I hear, you can't post things just to get more members or posting a thread like "check out this site!! [link goes here]" So you can only post if you have a question about it or need help with it? And no forums whatsoever.

EDIT: I read your other rules thread and I get it now. Thanks! But why is this still open when you have a much better rule thread?

**Ri-Chan** · 11th July 2009, 12:00 AM

Haha, Thanks, When I posted here first, I though it was for advertising sites.

**Wormow** · 16th October 2009, 11:44 PM

With vBulletin 4 coming out soon, and me upgrading my license, ya know that new front page look kinda thing? Can I use that to advertise here, or is that still counted as a forum?

If it is a forum, it's a forum. It's that simple.

Can we post links to adoptable sites we made?
