William is the Admin person and one of the original founders of the forum. The others left somewhere in the past. I imagine you can put a ink to this forum on your forum if you want but I know for sure that it is illegal to put links to other forums in posts or your signture here.

I don't think that linking to your forums would be a good idea without express permission from the admins. Please look at the "General Rules" at the top of the page on the left. Especially:

In addition there is to be no advertising of commercial sites on the messageboard unless authorised by a moderator. If you wish to advertise here then contact me.

No promoting of other competing sites either in the forum, chat room or private message system. In the event of recieving such spam messages, please report the incedent to a member of the moderating team.

My interpretation of that would be that you need premission to link to your forums. You could always PM one of them, or you could post this question in the "Board Announcements & Suggestions" sub-forum, lots of mods read that section pretty frequently.

Its not illegal, he won't get sent to prison But he'll get shouted at by a mod potentially and the mod stick will come out for a beating

Ask permission before posting any links to other forums

Illegal
1. forbidden by law or statute.
2. contrary to or forbidden by official rules, regulations, etc.: The referee ruled that it was an illegal forward pass.3

it is forbidden by the official rules of this forum therefore it is illegal

[jakeroberts]

so who do i ask


can i put it up if it is on my website in tiny letters there is no direct button to it on my website

 

[timmystood]

Do it discreetly! For example if I was trying to get you to join Amazon.com when you loved eBay. I would say 'there is a much better website avaliable. It's name after a river in South America!'

 

[rdd1952]

William would be the one to ask but I'm sure I can tell you the answer. Any attempt at linking to your site will most likely be deleted when a mod sees it.

 

[willroo]

Put it in your profile under the homepage heading

 

[Ferris]

Just send a PM to "William" - he's the site owner.

still dishonest even if you do it descreatly it kinda make it worse coz your avoiding the rules
