Amateur Oddworld Fansites
Allright, this may be deviating a little from the usual course, but I have a question. I'm trying to put an Oddworld fan site together, but what are the rules of ettiquitte when doing so? You know, for things like snagging pictures, permissions, disclaimers, etc.? I know there are some folks here with really good sites of their own, so if somebody could fill me in on the basics, that'd be great.

Well email FanLegal@oddworld.com and ask them for permission to place images etc on your site.

Thats the correct way to do it, but may i ask what you will use to make your site, and is it being hosted on the %$$%#$% Geocities or Angelfire.

Sorry if i have sweared in this posts, i just hate those annoying ads....KILL THE ADS!!!!

Yes geocities is very bad, i hate it. But it is the only place you can place your website on for free but there are others like angelfire.

But these days nothing is for free, alas.

But also an announcement, Oddworld Universe will be shut for the next month or so, just like it says on the website. Not because i hate geocities but i'm doing something alot bigger and i dont have time for Oddworld Universe. But dont worry it will coe back online in about a month!

Actually, I think that Geocities works fine for small sites and skilled programmers; all you need to do is know how to look for the things you need, which just requires a little experience. If you work at it select the PageBuilder and not the PageWizards and you can do a lot. Also, make sure that your pics that you want to upload are in .bmp, .bit, or .jpeg format, and you can do wonders. Check out my site in my sig if you don't believe me, but be warned, that's only my second site, and I have found the mouse trail can get annoying. Just play around with is, get permission before using pics, and have patience. Please don't hurt me Pinky or OddBodd!!! *sob*
