( --RULES ! )

AS FAR AS NO APP SITES GO, WE ARE NOT ONE OF THEM. WE HAVE A SHORT APP THAT MUST BE FILLED OUT TO YOUR BEST ABILITY. NO EXCUSES. WE MOSTLY JUDGE YOUR ROLEPLAY EXAMPLE, SO NO WORRIES.

PLEASE, HAVE SOME PATIENCE WITH US ADMINS. WE DO HAVE LIVES. OTHERWISE, CHANCES ARE WE WILL PURPOSELY MAKE YOU WAIT FOR AN ACCEPTANCE.

HERE, WE DON'T HAVE A CHARACTER LIMIT. BUT, TO KEEP A FAIR BALANCE BETWEEN GENDERS, WE DO REQUIRE YOU TO HAVE ONE MALE EVERY TWO FEMALE CHARACTERS YOU HAVE. IT KEEPS IT NICE AND EVEN SO THAT WAY, WE'RE NOT STUCK WITH A WHOLE SITE OF FEMALES.

WE ONLY HAVE ORIGINALS, NO CANONS. SO BE CREATIVE. DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP.

NO MARY SUES OR GARY STUS. IT'S JUST NOT REALISTIC AND NO ONE IS PERFECT.

NO GOD MODDING/POWER PLAYING. IT'S LAME, AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS, THEN MAYBE THIS SITE ISN'T FOR YOU.

PAST TENSE ONLY, EXCEPT IN THE APPLICATION AND IN AIM / CELL THREADS, OF COURSE.

WHEN REGISTERING YOUR CHARACTER, REMEMBER THAT ALL CHARACTERS MUST HAVE A FIRST MIDDLE AND LAST NAME. ONCE YOU'RE ACCEPTED, YOU MUST CHANGE YOUR NAME TO YOUR CHARACTERS NAME, AND JUST THEIR NAME, ALL IN UPPERCASE. NO FUNKY SYMBOLS. WE'LL TAKE THEM OUT.

WE CONSIDER OURSELVES AN ADVANCED ROLE PLAY. ONE LINERS ARE NEVER ACCEPTABLE HERE. USE PARAGRAPHS, THEY'RE PRETTY SPECTACULAR. WE HAVE A WORD COUNT NOW OF, 350, IF YOUR MUSE IS DEAD. IT'S BETTER TO JUST NOT POST. TRY TO AT LEAST MATCH THE PERSON YOU'RE ROLEPLAYING WITH. IT'S LIKE A MUTUAL RESPECT.

IF YOU WANT YOUR CHARACTER TO BECOME PREGNANT, THEN YOU WILL NEED PERMISSION FROM AN ADMIN FIRST. IF WE SAY NO, THEN WE SAY NO. DON'T ARGUE ABOUT IT WITH US. IT'LL GET YOU NOWHERE. NOW, PREGNANCIES DON'T ACTUALLY LAST FOR NINE MONTHS ON THE BOARDS. WE'LL SAY EVERY REAL LIFE WEEK, EQUALS TO ONE MONTH OF PREGNANCY, JUST SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE THEM WAITING SO LONG.

GOOD SPELLING AND GRAMMAR, FTW! THERE'S A SPELL CHECK BUTTON FOR A REASON. CHAT LINGO SUCKS, UNLESS IT'S IN AN IM THREAD.

LET'S BE SERIOUS HERE, OKAY? THIS IS A ROLEPLAY FORUM AND IT'S REALISTIC. IF YOUR CHARACTER DOES SOMETHING STUPID THAT WOULD PROBABLY MAKE YOU END UP IN JAIL IN THE REAL WORLD, THEN THAT MEANS YOU'LL GO TO JAIL HERE. WE FOLLOW REAL LAWS HERE.

WE DON'T ACCEPT RANDOM ANIME, RANDOM MYSPACE AND SCENE PLAY BYS. AND AS MUCH AS EVERYONE WANTS TO USE SELENA GOMEZ, THE JONAS BROTHERS, OR EVEN MEGAN FOX, JUST REMEMBER THAT IT'S NICE TO USE SOMEONE THAT'S NOT BATTLED OVER CONSTANTLY. AND EVEN IF YOUR PLAY BY THAT YOU LIKE USING IS TAKEN, WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO STILL JOIN.

IF YOU CAN'T THINK OF A PLAY BY, FEEL FREE TO CHAT WITH US IN THE CBOX OR THE OCC AREA AND WE'LL HELP YOU PICK A PLAY BY.

HAVING AN AV OR A SIG IS LIKE, A MUST. CAN'T MAKE THEM? REQUEST ONE OR HEAD OVER TO CAUTION. NEVER ASK IN THE CBOX FOR ONE. IT'S ANNOYING AND ISN'T NEEDED. ALWAYS CREDIT AND REHOST WHEN YOU'VE BEEN MADE GRAPHICS. WE WILL NOT TOLERATE STOLEN GRAPHICS. IF AFTER SOME TIME AND YOU STILL HAVE NO GRAPHICS, DO NOT BE SURPRISED IF KAY EDITS YOUR ACCOUNT WITH GRAPHICS. I GET VERY, VERY ANNOYED WITH EMPTY ACCOUNTS.

WE DON'T LIKE UGLY GRAPHICS, SO TRY TO USE NICE, PRETTY GRAPHICS FOR YOUR CHARACTER. IT'S A TURN ON. USING JUST A SINGLE PICTURE IN YOUR SIGNATURE ISN'T GOING TO CUT IT.

OUR MAX SIZE FOR AVATAR IS 150X200 AND OUR MAX SIZE FOR SIG IS 500X300

IT'S SIMPLE. DON'T GO CHARACTER HUNTING. DON'T SPAM, DON'T BE RUDE OR BASH OTHERS. ADVERTISING IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN. THERE'S A BOARD JUST FOR THAT. JUST BE NICE.

AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, TALK TO US! THAT'S WHAT IT'S THERE FOR. EVEN IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WHAT YOU DID TODAY OR WHATEVER. WE DON'T CARE. WE LIKE ACTIVE C BOXES. HOWEVER, FOR THE LINK AREA. NO LINKS OUTSIDE OF THIS SITE. SERIOUSLY. IT'S LIKE ADVERTISING EACH TIME YOU TALK. AND THAT'S NOT FAIR TO AHITS.

IC CHAT NEEDS TO STAY IN THE IN CBOX. SAME WITH OCC CHAT WITH THE OCC BOX. IT'S COMMON SENSE, PEOPLE.

IN THE IC, YOUR CHARACTER NEEDS TO BE ACCEPTED BEFORE YOU GO IN THERE. IT'S STUPID AND CONFUSING, SO DON'T DO IT.

IF YOU'RE MORE ACTIVE IN THE IC CBOX THEN YOU ARE ON THE FORUM, THEN WE'LL GIVE YOU A WARNING. THE IC CBOX IS THERE TO HAVE FUN, BUT YOU STILL NEED TO ACTUALLY BE ACTIVE ON THE FORUM AS WELL.

ANYTHING THAT TAKES PLACE IN THE IC CBOX DOESN'T TAKE PLACE ON THE FORUM UNLESS YOU RP IT OUT. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOUR CHARACTER INVITES ANOTHER CHARACTER OVER FOR DINNER, THEN YOU NEED TO ROLEPLAY IT OUT IN A THREAD. NOT IN THE IC CBOX.

RESPECT US STAFF MEMBERS. OTHERWISE WE'LL PROBABLY GET PISSY AND WANNA SMACK YOU. -- KIDDING ! WE <3 YOU ALL.

DON'T ANNOY US OR THE OTHER MEMBERS. IT'S COMMON COURTESY.

DON'T STICK TO PLOTTING WITH SOMEONE JUST BECAUSE THERE'S PICTURES OF YOUR PLAY BYS TOGETHER. THAT'S PATHETIC, AND WE REALLY DISLIKE THAT. LET'S BE FAIR, AND OPEN, HERE. TRY NOT TO FOLLOW PLAY BY TRENDS, (IE, SLUTTY MILEY'S AND DRUGGY KSTEWS.) IT'S SAD, REALLY.

WE ARE A PG-13 RATED BOARD, AS PER PROBOARDS TOS' RULES. WE MAY NOT HAVE SEXUAL, EXTREME VIOLENT OR DRUG CONTENT ON THE FORUM. THIS DOES MEAN EVEN IN PRIVATE MESSAGES. IF YOU WISH TO INTERACT YOUR CHARACTERS THIS WAY, YOU'LL NEED TO DO IT SOMEWHERE OFF THE FORUM. AND THAT'S ON YOUR OWN ACCORD, MMH NOR PROBOARDS CAN BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF THE FORUM. PLEASE RESPECT THIS, OR DON'T JOIN. IF YOU CHARACTERS GET TO A POINT LIKE THIS, JUST USE THE TIME SKIP FEATURE.

OH, AND DUH. HAVE FUN! THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. :]
