I was? Probably the art auction I participated in.

External links relating from, or to a major company such as this will undoubtedly have an inevitable outcome. If something is not specifically clarified, or stated in the rules; a person may manipulate this nebulous topic.

I'm still waiting an explanation on the MMO rule too.

I don't understand why anyone would even question that rule.

I thought of something funny. While watching a pepsi commercial, wouldn't it be great if, at the end, they would say something nice about coke?
Like: "....and coke is good too!"
Wouldn't that be the greatest business move?

Or maybe an xbox commercial could talk about how great ps2 is!

Think about it. Why would any forum of any online game that is a business (to make money), allow advertising of other onlinhe games?
Bad business move, if you ask me.
Just talking about other online games is advertising them. Think about it from a business point of view, or try to.

Put a PS2 disc into an Xbox (Disc Read Error)
Put an Xbox Disc into a new slimline ps2 (Dunno if it works before this model) And you get a Sweet Exploding Xbox logo.

True story.

and now the moral, graal should make exploding logos of other games, because its sweet.

Also who is this "coder" guy, he is always just randomly posting in forums supporting graal, it has always bugged me because i dont think anyone knowes who it is.

You're entitled to think whatever you want about someone.

I'm simply a person who used to play graal. When I go on now, it's mostly to work and I find the graal forums quite enjoyable. It's nice to meet you .

It would be more like a commercial for coke saying "it goes great with a plasma TV from sony!" Two completely different products. (Well, I guess Kingdoms is an MMO but I like to pretend it doesn't exist.)

Not to mention that Graal and other products aren't mutually exclusive. If you want people to stay on graal, instead of trying to hush up other games (which wouldn't work to well anyway, it's not like people haven't heard of WoW,) why not make Graal better?

If anything, allowing MMO talk would HELP. Coordinating graal-based guilds on games would strengthen the crumbling community.

• Does this also apply to images, using the img-tag?
• Can we expect links that have been posted outside of NGRT before this rule came into effect to be approved by the administration? Otherwise, will quoting posts containing such links be illegal as well?

This rule is obviously a safe guard against the actions I committed that warranted me a 1 or 3 or 4 month global ban straight from unixmad.

I doubt it disallows links to anything Pro-Graal related, but it certainly disallows links to Anti-Graal related sites, Strong Bad e-mail, or government-owned websites.

Although, you could probably get exceptions for government owned websites or Strong Bad Email possibly.... hmmmmm......

I wouldn't worry about quoting old posts with links, as long as it's not saying "I HATE GRAAL!!! GRRRR!!! HATE IT I DO!!!!!"
