The Snubby Land Forums is a community where fans can voice their opinions and ideas, and other developers can gather and share ideas, collaborate, and compete in the Weeklies.

The Snubby Land Forums are free to join, and you can register here (no email verification).

BACK TO TOP

The Snubby Land Forums are a very laid back place, but there are still a few rules that we hope all of you will follow. People who do not follow the rules listed below may be banned or warned by an administrator (site owner) or a moderator (forum police).

- Don't be too offensive. You know what that means. Lots of people find us to be offensive at times, so if we think you're being offensive, then you are being offensive.

- Don't spam. That means making more more than one thread when you only need one and making useless posts too frequently. In a different context, that also means advertising things too obviously or frequently that are not related to Snubby Land. If you want us to review your website in the Web Board, that's fine, but if we think you just want more traffic the thread is deleted and you are banned.

- Don't picture spam. That means making too many posts with attachments, or adding images to your posts that are too big. DO NOT EMBED IMAGES INTO YOUR POST THAT ARE TOO LARGE. If it is larger than the dotted rectangle that your post is in, it's too large.

- If your image is too large to embed, attach it. There are no rules for attaching images. Any size is fine.

- Don't annoy people. If you keep acting like a smart ass or keep breaking the rules, or just if you annoy us too frequently, we don't need you and you'll be banned.
