The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Hey there!

i have a small doubt.

I'm thinking about posting some my fanart (made like the one on the avatar) in he Fanart and Fan fiction section.

Could this also be allowed?

Up to one of the admin, but I would guess it would be ok since that is what the section is for, though an admin will likely give the official decision I would guess before long.

Welcome with us! It is awesome to meet an Explorer :)
I'm sorry my welcomes come so late, but I have been on a vacation to Scotland during the last week without any internet access (so I have a lot to catch up with now :lol). The catching up may include your fanart in case you already posted some (I don't know yet as during my catching up I work my way down from the top to the bottom of the GOF which means that I'm reacting in the welcoming thread before the fanart section). Not only is it permitted to post fanart here, but we really appreciate it a lot! I'm looking forward to see it :yes
As for taking pictures from the board, you should be perfectly fine when taking screenshots from the movies which others posted. In case of other peoples' fanart you should send them an email or PM to ask for their permission, but I suppose most people would gladly respond positively to such a request happy about your interest in their art.
Please feel hearty invited to join our discussions or start threads of your own. :yes
