Don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but if we want the guild to stay, and hopefully none of us getting banned, I would recommend getting rid of, and making a rule against posting, any links to sites where you can download any of the unofficial english(or other language) versions of any of the RPG Makers and/or any cracks or patches there may be to remove restrictions or change the language of them.

The reason is simple, they're illegal. They were made by (or made to, in the case of patches and cracks,) illegally modifying the program's code. Even though the program isn't from the U.S., it's still protected by international copyright law. And having links to stuff like that is also a violation of Gaia's TOS.

I'm not suggesting we also get rid of any discussion or ban usage of them, far from it. We're pretty much safe as long as we aren't linking them.

Very good idea, actually. I don't think there are any posts with links, since I did delete a lot of posts earlier, but I'll check again to be sure since I didn't look completely through the remaining topics.

Thanks for pointing this out, I'll have to add rules soon too, especially if people are more active.

Well, I know for a fact that there is one in the first post of the "Download Section + Helpful Links" thread. I havn't been through the other links yet though. But that was the one that made me decide that I'd better bring it up. ninja

EDIT: Also, you don't have to delete a post unless the link is the only thing in it. You can also edit the post. In case you didn't know.

Heh, I guess I should have said, 'since I did delete a lot of topics'...not posts. But oh well. smile
And yep, that's one thing I do know about. whee I'll have to go check that out now, thanks!
