dosnt say anything about premade "skins" in the TOS i dont think...

i dont see whats wrong with it, its gonna be modified to fit my liking and i guarantee it wont look like its original.

Dont worry, we will look at sites, and according to the scoring system, we will take off points for having skins on a phpNuke unless they are yours and we cant find it elsewhere. So dont worry.

No, but it will be scored looking at that sort of stuff. Since its unfair to people who took the time to create images in PhotoShop and took the time to create their own site.

TOS = Terms of Service. This basically tells you what you can and cant do.

I believe "In The End" by Linkin park is copyrighted, so unless you have prior written permission from Linkin Park's lawyers to play the full track on your site, I believe it is illegal...unless I am greatly mistaken.

Im happy you noticed that the server where the main site is hosted was hacked.

I congrat you.

This server is not under our contral, so i cant do anything about it.

I have to wait till the host resolves the issue.

Our main server is section4.net which has no info on it, but has not been hacked.

Crooker, why should someone have to download anything just to view a website correctly? I sure wouldn't. In my mind, if it isn't viewable by all, then it isn't worth the effort. *Close Browser* :angry2:

Good job Geffy. At least now it doesnt look bad in Mozilla anymore.

To Crooker: i despise Macromedia flash. Ill let the other judges judge your site, and keep my vote out of it.

Uhm, for your info, we were never gonna buy a domain for you, you were to supply your own, or youd get a sub-domain.
