Hey

Kali & Andi want to take this opportunity to welcome you to the family and the Hugh Laurie Board. We're glad you've joined us. We want this to be a fun place for everyone.
Here are a few rules to take note of. Please be sure to abide by them so that this remains a fun and enjoyable place for everyone.

First please read the Official FanForum Rules.

STAY ON TOPIC (NO CHATTY/STAR POSTING):
There is to be no "chatty/star" posting on this board. This is also in the general FF rules. Examples of "star/chatty" posting would be, posting, hi, bye, how are you?, or just smileys and nothing more. This is NOT allowed. Not to say you can't say hi or bye to your friends, but please make sure you post to add to the discussion of the thread. If, at the moment, you really can't add something constructive and relevant to the topic of the thread, then we ask that you wait until you can. For anything else, we have an off topic thread.

DOUBLE/TRIPLE POSTING:
This is also against the general FF rules. And we prefer you try NOT to double/triple or even more, post in a row. However, there are exceptions, such as when FF or your computer is running slow and freezes or times out on you and accidentally puts more than one post through, we understand you can't control that. And if there's a thread which hasn't been posted in for a while and you'd like to add to it with new information, then you can post. But other than that, please do NOT double or triple post.

POSTING LINKS:
When posting links, if the articles have off color language, please post a small warning before the link as a courtesy to the other posters who might be offended.

QUOTING PICTURES/HOTLINKING:
We have been pretty strict on this because it is in the general FF rules, and it makes the pages way too hard to load. So please do NOT quote any images, this goes for pics, avatars, banners, anything.

Quoting an image is also re-posting the image on the page and therefore hotlinking it. This can cause a lot of problems with the person's website that you are hotlinking from. Please use your own webspace to host photos you would like to share, like Photobucket.

PAPARAZZI PICTURES:
While we don't allow the actual posting of paparazzi pictures, posting links to websites containing paparazzi pictures is allowed.

PICTURE WIDTH:
Please don't post pictures any wider than 800 pixels so you don’t stretch the post table. In consideration of members on dial-up, please post links to larger pictures (also known as HQ pictures) or post thumbnails of those pictures.

FANART, MUSIC VIDEO'S AND ANY OTHER CREATIVENESS:
Please respect the hard work these people put into making these things for others to enjoy. If you didn't make it then you have no right to claim them as your own. Do not altar anything in any way. Do not go to other sites, forums etc. and claim these things as your own. If you want to recommend or share these things with others please request permission of the creator.

AVATARS AND SIGNATURES:
Please make sure your avatars and signatures are within the general FF rules.

Any avatars and signatures bashing any actors and members are NOT allowed and will be removed. And any avatars and signatures including any pornographic content or cuss words will also be removed, as this is also in the general FF rules and is not allowed.

Signatures are not to exceed the length of a 100x100 avatar, if you check in the general FF rule's thread, there's a measuring guide there to make sure it's within the limit. Also remember the maximum amount of emoticons/smiles in a signature is four.

BASHING:
There is to be absolutely NO bashing on this board whatsoever! This goes for bashing against actors, FF members, anyone. And lurking in threads you do not support the character or ships of and then going back into the ones you do, and talking about what was said is also NOT allowed on this board. It just causes more problems.

If you are having a problem with another poster please contact one of the moderators to explain the problem. Please keep all issues off of the board and if you feel the need to contact the poster, please do so via PM.

EPISODE/MOVIES DOWNLOADS:
Downloading of episodes and movies is strictly against Fan Forum rules. Links to any download sites will be edited out. Do not advertise websites that allow downloading of episodes. If you’d like to ask/answer this stuff, please do so via PM.

OTHER MESSAGE BOARDS:
Linking to other messages boards is also against the general FF rules and is not allowed. If you bring something over from another board, you can of course credit the person, but do not link to the board itself. The same if you'd like to link to another site which contains a message board, you can link to the site itself, just not the message board.

STARTING THREADS:
Whenever a thread reaches a maximum of 300 posts, it will be closed, and you can start a new one. Please read the board guide topped at the head of the page to make sure a new thread you would like to post isn't already a part of the board, and if you find that it's not, you can feel free to post it. If you're not sure whether a certain thread is allowed, just ask Andi or Kali, and we will gladly help you out.

SPOILERS:
The use of spoiler spaces is allowed on this board as long as it stays within limits. Please keep all the spoiler talk in the designated thread here.
Of course there's also the general House-Spoiler thread on the Spoiler Board for discussing upcoming story lines. Promos aired on TV or clips on the Fox site are not considered spoilers and can be discussed on the board, but we ask you use spoiler tags, so posters who don't watch promos don't get spoiled. Spoiler tags look like this.
