You cannot rip Sal's Forum pips!

We've seen a number of other forums (smaller ones, especially clan forums) started by members usually from here that have been using our forum pips. This is not allowed. If you are found using our pips*, you will be asked to remove them immediately within a certain time frame, and if it is not done so then the forum host will be contacted. Salmoneus does not give permission to anyone to use the pips, so there is no excuse if you are caught.
*A pip is the small little graphics tag that shows up under your avatar which identifies your position as either a New Member, Member, Distinguised Member, etc.

So not even similar to them? For example, same colour and text..
Topdog
You can do that. As long as it's not exactly alike to the ones here.

If you want to show them an example, why not give them a link to Sals just so they can see the pips?

When you make your's though, i would refrain from using the same item for the same word and such. Maybe Site admin can be Blue with a Blue Phat as the picture. Try to mix things up a little wink.gif

Yeah, that's what I meant, I like the basis of these pips and I'm anyway not very creative lol..

Speaking of not being creative.. Is it okay to make forums similar to these, for example The Scape Lounge or "sit back and relax".. I know, not creative at all, but I like these smile.gif thx

It's fine if you want to model your pips off of ours - we just don't want people taking ours and using them for their own forums. smile.gif

As for using text similar to our forum titles/descriptions, that's fine too (I can't see any reason why it wouldn't be). wink2.gif

Yeah, I guess that's okay. I've actually done that on a couple of my clan forums. tongue.gif But I just changed the descriptions a bit.
