Quote:3. Thou Shalt Not Advertise. We do not intend to serve as a linking service or a search engine to other sites.

1. Pornographic, racist or illegal materials, including game cheats or hacks
2. Profit sites (any get rich quick sites). This is sites that earn the poster a profit/commission or sites that give points for incoming links
3. Sites that are competitive to any of the fan sites here. (We've spent a long time putting together all the information sections here and so have the guide writers, we are not here to point people elsewhere when so much work has gone into the in-house content)
4. Sites carrying ad-busting software
