There is no issue with linking to fansites and such but the following factors will be considered:

• No links to sites that flag up abusive and offensive material - that includes forums and messageboards.
• Links to sites that have ripped material from elsewhere. While some flexibility will be allowed for, sites that steal photos and content and then create issues about copyright will removed immediately and without further notification.
• No website-plugging threads. There is a thread dedicated to website promotion that you are welcome to use.

I'm leaving / I'm back threads won't be allowed on the forum however. Too often these threads are used for attention-seeking or for airing grievances better left to private communications. Tell us about your comings and goings in your own personal intro thread by all means, but no more new threads unless it's an intro thread - and you can only have ONE of those.
