-4. Avoid typing in all caps - In the internet, typing in all caps means you're yelling, which is not allowed on the site because this is disrespectful for the others. Write normally, you'll only get problems by writing in caps.

-7. In private - If one day you have an argue with a member, on the shoutbox, forum or site, thanks to solve it in private. The other members don't have to see your quarrels, animation source must stay a peaceful site where anyone enjoy to spend time in, not a battlefield.

-8.Changing usernames - Changing your username is allowed, but must be exceptional. There is a limitation and you can only change it every 3 months. Be careful when you decide to change it. Mods won't change it because you regret your old one and it's not allowed to make a new account ( cf : double account ).

-13. A fan site. - You are on a fan site, this means that members imagine a lot of things around the movies.

II - Forum rules

-1. Avoid double posting- This is not allowed to send a message following an other message ( from the same member ). If you've forgotten to write something in your previous message, you have the edit option to change your message.

".

-2. No animated sigs or avatars - Animated images grab a person's attention and a lot of times are just a distraction when trying to read through posts. It also takes people with slower internet connections a long time to load images like these. Also, your signature must be horizontal and its maximum size is 1000*200. Finally, you're not allowed to put more than one signature.
