There is support out on the forum - this is just the list of available tutorial, and not a good place for support or discussion.

If you have a support issue we are glad to help you out on the forum.

If you are looking for a discussion forum then that would be the Off Topic forum.

how can i make my forum go live ive had a friend try and get onto my forum that i made useing you guys but i dont seem to be able to get it to go live

Hello,

Once you have activated the forum after you have signed up for it, then the forum is "live".

What are some good starting tips for an RPG forum?

where is it mentioned about inactice forums being deleted???

Hello,

These rules are relating to this Support Forum, not necessarily to the forums that we host.

so where can i find that info

http://www.freeforums.org/tos.php

um,where does it say your forum is deleted after 60 days of no post/activity?

Hello,

It doesn't say it in the Terms Of Service, it doesn't have to.

OH,you just make up rules as ya go??? so with NO WARNING you just delete someones fourm?? if its not in the TOS then how is someone gonna know

Hello,

We send an email to the forum owner letting them know that their forum is inactive and is subject to deletion pending further inactivity. Also, we do not have to warn anyone before we remove their forum, our Terms of Service explicitly says that we reserve the right to remove forums without notice or explanation.

So once your forum is deleted is there anyway to get it back?

Thanks.

No, there is no way to get your forum back once it's deleted.

Regards,

http://www.freeforums.org/tos.php

I understand the rules, just looking for some answers to my issues on our freeforums site

-links to download pirated movies, software, games etc from megaupload, rapidshare, and other such hosts/FTP/private servers
Banana - thanks a lot!
My understanding is links to youtube are not included on the list above, right?
Also if one of the users posted something that violates Terms of Service, will freeforms notify me about it, or they just delete my forum without notification?

you can post links to youtube

im not sure, but the admin and mods of your forum are expected to watch for content that is against the rules and delete it

"im not sure, but the admin and mods of your forum are expected to watch for content that is against the rules and delete it "
I'm admin and I'm trying to watch the forum. But I'm not there 24/7. So just wondering if they send notification if something like that happens.
